Abstract

The rapid development of digital technologies has significantly transformed modern education, particularly English language teaching. Digital learning has emerged as an innovative pedagogical approach that enhances students’ language acquisition through interactive, flexible, and learner-centered environments. This article investigates the role of digital learning technologies in improving English language teaching and examines their impact on students’ receptive and productive language skills. The study applies qualitative analysis of existing pedagogical practices and digital learning platforms widely used in English language education. The findings indicate that digital learning increases learners’ motivation, autonomy, communication skills, and engagement in the educational process. Furthermore, digital tools such as online platforms, mobile applications, multimedia resources, and artificial intelligence-based technologies contribute to personalized learning experiences and improve language proficiency. However, the study also identifies challenges related to technical limitations, digital literacy, and excessive dependence on technology. The article concludes that effective integration of digital learning into English language teaching requires balanced pedagogical strategies and appropriate teacher training.
