THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL TOOLS ON ENGLISH LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

Abstract

In recent years, digital tools have become an essential part of English language education. These technologies provide learners with new opportunities to develop their language skills in more interactive and effective ways. This article examines the impact of digital tools on English language acquisition, focusing on the development of four key skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The study highlights the role of mobile applications, online platforms, multimedia resources, and communication tools in enhancing learners’ language competence. Digital tools promote autonomous learning, increase motivation, and provide access to authentic materials. Despite certain challenges such as distraction and lack of digital literacy, the use of digital tools significantly contributes to successful language acquisition.
