This scientific article aims to analyze the effectiveness of using digital tools in teaching English and the challenges associated with their implementation. In recent years, the digitalization of education has expanded globally, leading to a significant increase in the use of interactive platforms, multimedia resources, mobile applications, and artificial intelligence–based educational systems in English language classrooms. The application of digital tools fosters learners’ autonomous learning skills, enhances motivation, deepens language competencies through communication-based tasks, and creates a language-learning environment close to real-life situations. However, alongside these advantages, several limitations exist, including technical issues, teachers’ varying levels of digital literacy, the potential for student distraction, dependence on internet access, and inequality in educational quality. This article examines the impact of digital tools on the teaching and learning process based on scientific literature, practical examples, and existing research findings. The results of the study contribute to the development of methodological recommendations for English language teachers regarding the appropriate selection, integration, and effective use of pedagogical technologies in classroom practice.
