contents <p>The integration of media and digital culture into the English classroom offers a dynamic<br>approach to language teaching, responding to the realities of students’ lives and the omnipresence of<br>digital culture. Students’ immediate reality embraces both media and digital culture. Digital culture is<br>a pervasive influence that is no more bound within public and private distinctions and using such<br>applications in the ELT classroom is a present-day challenge. This paper aims to review the theory<br>and practice of using media and digital culture in the ELT classroom. Furthermore, it identifies some<br>effective techniques for using media and digital culture texts in the English classroom. At length, the<br>paper discusses useful strategies like making use of conversation on social media, analysing song<br>lyrics, investigating social movements online, and using code-mixed texts, comic strips, and ethics in<br>advertisements in connection to pedagogical objectives and also illustrates examples of teaching<br>language materials in which digital culture and media texts are well made and consistent with the<br>language learning objectives of the 21st century.</p>
