The overall language teaching and learning graph has changed very rapidly, specially over the recent years. The instruction and learning of languages now include a significant amount of technology and communication. Digitalization is the process of translating various kinds of content into digital form. Any type of material can be converted, including text, audio, and video. Technology usage has become inevitable in the present-day learning and teaching process in and out of classrooms. In other words, we can term it as the perfect amalgamation of the contemporary technologies and digital tools to aid language teaching and learning. Digital learning is reshaping education in extraordinary ways. Technology has empowered teachers to bring in their creativity and modify lessons, which further improves language acquisition. It has further helped create real and enjoyable atmosphere for young language learners and enhance their awareness.   The ability of technology to deliver individualised language education and materials, allowing students to choose the lesson and customise it to their requirements, is one of the reasons why it has become a crucial component of today's language learning environment.
