Digital transformation has become one of the main drivers of change in education at the global level. Many countries are integrating digital technologies into teaching and learning processes in order to expand access, improve quality and develop learners’ 21st-century skills. Uzbekistan is also actively implementing national strategies for the digitalization of education, which directly affects the process of teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL).This article analyzes the global and national context of digital transformation in education and discusses its specific relevance to EFL in Uzbekistan.
The study's foundation is a review of earlier studies and document analysis. The findings demonstrate how digital technologies foster student autonomy, open up new avenues for communicative language instruction, and give access to real materials. At the same time, difficulties linked to infrastructure, teacher training and computer literacy exist. The article concludes with recommendations for more effective integration of digital technologies into EFL teaching in Uzbekistan.
