This study focused on the promotion of research on digital transformation in education and language teaching. It purposely tended to promote the teachers, scholars, students, and researchers construct the research studies on technology transforming in digital education and language teaching, such as blended learning, distance/online learning, and/or e-learning. With the challenges of AI in education, the studies on digital education transformation (DET) and digital language teaching (DLT) are under explored, improving the digital competence, literacy, and skills for teachers and students. By examining the digital technology transformation (DTT) in education curricula, this study really promoted teachers, scholars, students, and researchers to do research on these challenges, with different research method designs, such as analytical research design, descriptive research design, exploratory research design, explanatory research design, and beyond. This study further suggested teachers, scholars, students, and researchers create future-research studies on the key factors of AI challenges in education programs, such as barriers of critical thinking development, problem-solving, and decision making. The future-research studies on DTT in education and language teaching significantly contributed to the betterment of digital competence, skills, and literacy – reforming the educational quality and outcomes.
