The development of digital technology has significantly affected Vietnamese education
in recent years, presenting both challenges and opportunities. In many educational
institutions, digital transformation has helped to improve the learning experience for
both students and teachers through interactive and customizable learning. Various uses
of digital teaching and learning may include providing diverse choices of online learning
such as participating in classes through mobile apps or web applications, enhancing self-
directed learning, and using technology to track students' progress. Although digital
transformation has become a worldwide topic recently, particularly in the new normal,
limited research has explored this subject in the context of EFL teaching and learning in
Vietnam. This empirical study aims to explore teachers’ perceptions of their readiness for
the digital transformation at a center of foreign languages. The results revealed that
teachers were relatively ready for this important change, although a number of typical
challenges can have a negative influence on the effective implementation of the process.
Many suggestions for improving teaching quality thanks to digital transformation were
also presented.
