Résumé: The rapid advancements in technology have brought about profound transformations across numerous sectors, including language education. This shift has encouraged EFL teachers to embrace digital tools and resources as integral components of their teaching methodology, particularly in the realm of listening and speaking instruction. This study seeks to explore the impact of digital tools on the listening and speaking skills of EFL learners by addressing two research questions: 1.what aspects of speaking and listening skills are affected by the integration of digital tools and resources? 2. How do language teachers and students perceive the integration of digital tools and resources in enhancing listening and speaking skills in language learning? 3. What are the primary challenges faced by teachers and students in the implementation and use of digital tools and resources for developing listening and speaking skills? To achieve this goal, a descriptive research methodology is adopted. Data is collected through questionnaires administered to 51 English students and ten oral expression teachers at the department of foreign languages, University Center of Mila. The primary research findings show that digital tools and resources play a significant role in the process of learning listening and speaking skills, helping the learners develop their performance and increase their engagement and motivation in language learning. Eventually, the research will provide some recommendations and suggestions for pedagogy and future research with the purpose of enhancing familiarity with digital tools and understanding their impact on listening and speaking skills for both teachers and students.
