The advancement of digital technology has opened up significant opportunities for innovation in learning media, particularly in English language teaching. This study analyzes four research articles that discuss various approaches to developing interactive media, such as Android-based applications, artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the H5P platform, and the use of visual media like illustrated flashcards. The development of Android applications aims to help students understand vocabulary and basic grammar in an enjoyable way through interactive audiovisual features. Meanwhile, AI technology is utilized to provide a personalized learning experience, especially in speaking and listening in real time. Furthermore, the use of H5P enables teachers to create responsive online learning content, such as quizzes and interactive videos, which enhance students' digital engagement. The use of illustrated flashcards at the elementary school level has proven effective in visually introducing basic English vocabulary. These four studies indicate that the integration of technology in English language learning significantly supports increased motivation, mastery of the material, and active student engagement in the learning process.
