It is very true that teachers frequently face many challenges in their teaching, for example dealing with reluctant students, lack of teaching ideas, limited access to some materials, lack of technology supports, and so on. As consequences, teachers have to think hard to overcome these problems as they are responsible to run the learning process. Additionally, the curriculum changes have also contributed to their confusion as they get more burdens in accomplishing more administrative work at schools. These problems can be coped by identifying what the students need and adjusted things with the curriculum needs. The use of technology in teaching and learning might also be beneficial, not only to create more effective, innovative, interactive, and engaging learning environment, but also gives teachers an opportunity to be more creative and improve their digital skills. This "The Digital Classroom for Effective EFL Learning: Exploring Technology in Action" book may become one of great sources for teachers who are willing to give more meaningful English learning experience for students. The digital tools used are simple, easy to use and can be adjusted with the skill(s) being learned. There are 49 activities using some digital apps described in this book which have been employed in the authors’ own classroom and documented/published as some best practices and research.
