Abstract : Students' motivation is increased when they use the internet. The importance of information and communication technology in course books has evolved in all educational fields to move towards modern methods of teaching. This research was based on inspecting the perception of males and females concerning the use of technology in English language teaching classrooms by utilizing quantitative research procedures. The perception of gender towards the utilization of technology in ELT classrooms was explored through a questionnaire. The survey was administered on the accessibility and readiness of the contributors. The sample size (N=90) comprises English Language students from various classes at the University of Okara (Department of English Language). The results of the study revealed that females have greater knowledge of English language learning and technological integration in ELT due to variations in these values and also females have a larger tendency to favour the use of technology in ELT classes than males. The findings elucidated that technology has profoundly shaped our societal fabric, exerting distinct permutations upon our collective ethos and cognitive paradigms. By taking into account any potential gender-based prejudices or barriers, educators may create a more thorough and beneficial learning environment that motivates all students to actively engage with technology.
