This article critically examines the integration of digital tools into English Language Teaching (ELT), focusing on prevalent pedagogical models and methodological approaches. It synthesizes existing research to delineate the theoretical foundations, primarily the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, and its practical applications in enhancing language acquisition. The paper explores various digital tools, their typology, and their impact on skill development, while also assessing the benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations inherent in their implementation. Furthermore, it addresses the crucial role of teacher professional development and implications for policy. The article concludes by outlining future directions for research, emphasizing the need for longitudinal studies and the exploration of emerging technologies to foster more effective, equitable, and human-centered digital ELT environments.
