Abstract

The integration of digital media in English language teaching has significantly enriched global classroom practices. It enhances language acquisition, promotes authentic communication, and fosters cultural understanding. Digital tools like videos, podcasts, and online platforms create immersive learning experiences. They also develop critical digital literacy skills, empowering students to participate in their learning journey. Digital media also fosters global connections and collaboration, allowing learners to engage in authentic communication with peers and speakers worldwide. This shift represents a paradigm shift in English language education, preparing learners for active global participation. Integrating digital media into the language classroom can greatly enhance engagement, interaction, and learning outcomes.
