The document summarizes a presentation given at an international conference on contemporary English studies. It discusses how teachers can use information and communication technologies (ICT), like social media applications, to enhance teaching and learning in the 21st century. Specifically, it provides examples of how the Department of English at Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University in India has incorporated tools like Gmail, blogs, WhatsApp and Google+ into its curriculum. Students and teachers have increasingly adopted these technologies, according to surveys.

11. In this 21st centaury students and teacher use audio
video tools for effective learning such as some
movies part or advertisement so it's very effective
teaching and create interest in boring subject. Some
videos also help in imagination of text. Here is the
example of F.A.L.T.U movie by Remo d'souza. in this
movie student’s start learning through the video of
teacher, director, actor, designer, photographer and
more so students make effective learning by audio
and video visualization.

12. conclusion
• So the question is it possible teaching & learning through ICT
? Yes it is possible in 21st century .but if teachers are known
about positive use of technology in education. So in this
research paper I have to trying out with example of some
institutes using this technology for modern education. In ICT
various types of methods for teaching and learning like (E-
learning, E-testing, M-learning-M-testing, E-teaching) so all
this braches of ICT is very interesting and useful in new era of
education. If we all have think positive and positively use
technology in right path than it is possible. So our Prime
Minister NARENDRA Modi dream about digital India, make In
India, e-governance, e-commerce come true. So teachers
duty is to change the education with new technology system
and make aware about new era of education.
