<![CDATA[The rapid development of digital technology into English language teaching has provided new means for interactive learning, but has also raised concerns about safeguarding learners' cultural identity and promoting all-round development. This research aims to investigate the impact of neo-humanistic teachings and local cultural values to the digital English language learning of primary school students. This research was conducted through a qualitative case study approach in public and private primary schools in Bali. The data were collected by semi-structured interviews, classroom observation and document study. The study revealed five main themes: (1) incorporating local culture into English education through traditional ceremonies, folklore, arts, and environmental contexts; (2) incorporating neo-humanistic values such as empathy, cooperation, respect, responsibility, and environmental awareness into classroom activities; (3) effective use of digital technologies; (4) students' holistic development to enhance language confidence, creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and cultural identity; and (5) implementation challenges related to digital infrastructure, culturally relevant teaching resources, and teacher readiness. This research shows that the integration of neo-humanistic principles and local knowledge turns digital English language teaching into a full learning experience beyond the simple mastery of the language. The results have practical implications for educators, curriculum developers and policy makers interested in designing culturally responsive and technology-enhanced English language teaching in elementary education.]]>
