This study investigated the readiness and attitudes of second-semester English Language Education students toward digital learning in EFL classes at UIN Palopo. A descriptive quantitative survey design was employed, with 30 second-semester students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale covering students’ readiness and attitudes toward digital learning. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, particularly mean scores. The findings showed that students’ readiness for digital learning was categorized as high, with an overall mean score of 4.01. Students’ attitudes were also categorized as high, with an overall mean score of 3.93, indicating generally positive perceptions, feelings, motivation, and willingness toward digital learning. However, internet connectivity, learning focus, limited facilities, and difficulties understanding some materials remained challenges for some students. The findings suggest that lecturers should continue to develop interactive and accessible digital learning practices, while institutions should strengthen digital infrastructure and technical support.
