ABSTRACT: Digital teaching resources are meaningful for improving the quality of English teaching and students’ core English literacy. Based on conducting a questionnaire survey among 54 English teachers in rural primary schools in western Guangdong and combining with interviews with 10 teachers, this research finds that digital teaching resources for English in rural primary schools in western Guangdong are particularly scarce and their functions are also lagging behind. It is difficult to meet the needs of teachers for digital teaching. The digital literacy of teachers is not high enough, and digital teaching resources have not been fully utilized. These schools also have problems such as insufficient training sessions for digital teaching skills of English teachers, low training quality, and insufficient professional training. This study investigated the construction and application of digital teaching resources in the western Guangdong region. The main factors influencing the development and application of digital teaching resources in rural primary school English education were analyzed. To a certain extent, this research also explores the effective solutions for rural primary school English education in underdeveloped areas represented by western Guangdong when facing the challenges of digital transformation.
