Abstract:
This paper presents the key elements related to the importance of digitalization in education, digital literacy, and teachers’ digital competences. The rapid development of digital technologies has fundamentally transformed all aspects of modern society, including education. Teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is one segment of the educational system in which the application of digital technologies offers exceptionally wide opportunities for various forms of enhancement. Teachers’ digital literacy and the development of their digital competences represent one of the fundamental prerequisites for the successful delivery of EFL instruction. Special emphasis is placed on the European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators, which provides a set of guidelines that support the development of teachers’ digital competences and enable them to effectively implement contemporary methods in EFL teaching. The research methodology employed in this paper is based on the analysis of secondary sources addressing topics related to the application of digital technologies in EFL instruction, as well as the development of teachers’ digital competences. The study contributes to a better understanding of the significance of integrating digital technologies and developing teachers’ digital competences within contemporary approaches to EFL teaching.
