Abstract: With the rapid development of digital technology, the digital age has penetrated into the education sector, especially for English teaching in primary schools. The application of digital technology has enriched teaching activities. This article analyzes the theoretical framework, opportunities, and difficulties faced by primary school English classroom interaction in the context of digitalization, and analyzes the shortcomings of the current interaction mode, proposing improvement measures. It is pointed out that although digitalization provides abundant resources and diversified interactive methods for English teaching interaction, problems such as teachers' varying levels of mastery of digital technology, overly single interactive modes, and technical barriers still remain prominent. Enhancing teachers' understanding and application ability of digital technology, integrating diverse digital tools to broaden interaction channels, improving the supervision and evaluation system of interaction, and solving technical problems are the core strategies to improve interaction effectiveness.
