Keywords:
Digital pedagogy, engineering education, ESPAbstract
In the modern era of rapid technological advancement, digital technologies have become an indispensable part of education at all levels. Therefore, their didactic potential in teaching English, particularly to engineering students, deserves close attention. This article discusses how digital tools—such as multimedia platforms, virtual simulations, artificial intelligence applications, and mobile technologies—enhance communicative competence, learner motivation, and professional skills. Furthermore, it examines how these tools promote independent learning, collaboration, and integration between technical and linguistic education. The paper concludes that digital pedagogy offers vast opportunities for developing modern engineers capable of operating effectively in a global and digitalized world.
