The 21st century has witnessed a rapid transformation in the landscape of English language teaching (ELT), propelled by the integration of digital technologies. This article examines the innovations, challenges, and pedagogical perspectives related to using modern technologies in ELT. Drawing from a combination of theoretical insights and practical examples—including classroom experience from Uzbekistan—this paper evaluates the impact of online platforms, mobile applications, learning management systems (LMS), virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI) in fostering student engagement and language proficiency. The article also highlights the digital divide, teacher preparedness, and ethical concerns surrounding the use of technology in ELT.
