As education systems around the world embrace digital transformation, the role of pedagogy in leveraging technology for meaningful learning becomes increasingly important. Digital pedagogy is more than the mere use of digital tools; it is the application of pedagogical principles tailored to a technologically rich environment. For English language teachers, understanding the theoretical underpinnings of digital pedagogy is essential for designing engaging, effective, and inclusive instruction. This article explores the theoretical foundations of digital pedagogy, examines its relevance and application in English language teaching (ELT), and discusses implications for teacher education and professional development.
