Abstract: The pervasive influence of technology in contemporary life has significantly affected education, particularly language learning. As technological integration becomes increasingly essential in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction (Caena & Redecker,2019), this study investigates the necessity and effectiveness of digital tools within the Arab educational sector in Israel. Adopting a qualitative methodology, the research examines the perspectives of fifteen English teachers from diverse Arab schools across various regions of Israel. It explores their insights regarding the use of digital tools in English instruction, highlighting both the advantages and the challenges associated with their implementation. The study also provides recommendations for optimizing the integration of digital tools in English education and addressing prevalent challenges in the Arab educational context. The results reveal that the advantages of digital tools in English instruction substantially outweigh the drawbacks, positioning technology as a pivotal asset in modern education.
