This article deals with the digital teaching as a new trend in the EFL/ESL profession. Digital teaching is defined; its characteristics are delineated; processes are explained and promises and challenges are reported. Salient writings and viewpoints of respected academic authorities in the field of ELT and educational Technology were put together to highlight the spread of digital teaching and its repercussions on students, teachers, parents, curriculum designers and administrators.      With the advent of Internet and multiple formats that can be communicated over the world wide web, we now have several new and exciting ways to present information. The web allows the incorporation of animation' moving pictures, and sound into lessons which extends our abilities to present materials that encourage students' interaction with the subject matter.

In language teaching and learning, we have a lot to choose from the world of technology: Radio, TV, CD Rom, Computers, C.A.L.L., the Internet, Electronic Dictionary, Email, Blogs and Audio Cassettes, Power Point, Videos, DVD's or VCD's.
