This study aims to examine the usage of digital software in the English education in Swedish schools. The main purpose of the study is to answer the questions of what type of software is most commonly used, how this software is used to help promote vocal skills, and what the pros of using digital software instead of traditional education materials such as textbooks are. Data is collected through an opinion poll, and the results of the opinion poll are analyzed through thematic analysis. The conclusion of the study is that digital, digital software most commonly found online and used in everyday life, is most often used in conjunction with listening activities to improve the student’s vocal skills, albeit not a very popular choice by teachers. The study also found that the pros to using digital software instead of traditional educational materials are most prominently pronounced through the reduced workload on the teachers, as well as the increased structure, variation, motivation and enjoyment provided for the students.
