Modern classrooms blend traditional methods with digital tools, presenting educators with another way to promote effective teaching strategies. Technology integration is used to improve teaching and learning processes. This development has presented a better pattern for new teaching models. Consequently, it has a key role in learning and teaching literature education. While the benefits of technology integration in literature education are widely acknowledged, we cannot disregard the challenges of utilizing it to create a well-managed learning environment. This study aims to identify the role of technology integration in literature education and its insights and challenges. Findings reveal that teachers used different digital tools such as gamification, social media, and multimedia resources. These tools are believed to be beneficial as they enhance engagement and motivation, access to diverse literary devices, and promote collaborative learning. However, teachers faced different challenges in integrating technology such as limited training and professional development and lack of resources. The review of literature revealed the technological tools used by the teachers, their benefits and challenges as well as the role play by technology in literature education.
