Intersection of Critical Pedagogy and Digital Humanities: Significance in Teaching English Language and Literature

Abstract

Critical pedagogy and digital humanities are changing English language and literature teaching. Critical pedagogy helps students think independently and question social and normative ideas. Digital humanities use technology to improve access, collaboration, and analysis. The study explores in what manner students move from passive learning to active participation through digital tools. It looks at digital storytelling, multimedia projects, and interactive lessons. Teachers actually play a key role in guiding students and shaping discussions. This study also examines challenges like digital literacy gaps and ethical concerns. With the right approach, digital resources can prepare students for academic and professional accomplishment. This combination modernizes or contemporizes education, helping learners develop critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability in a digital world.
