  text: <jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>The use of digital tools for second
    and foreign language lexical learning is increasingly popular and research in
    this area is constantly expanding. However, little has been written about specific
    criteria that could be used to identify tools with high‐quality lexical input,
    as available checklists and frameworks for digital media tend to neglect detailed
    analyses of the vocabulary domain. This article addresses this issue by presenting
    the Checklist for Evaluating Digital Resources for Lexical Learning (DigiLex),
    which combines important digital language learning criteria with an extensive
    evaluation of lexical content. The checklist is both theory‐based and user‐friendly,
    aiming to fill a gap between theory and practice in the field of digital lexical
    learning. The article discusses the theoretical basis of the checklist and integrates
    the results of a small pilot study with pre‐service and in‐service teachers, emphasizing
    feasibility in everyday learning and teaching. By providing an easy‐to‐use tool
    for identifying suitable digital resources, the DigiLex checklist aims to support
    language learners and teachers in self‐regulated lexical learning.</jats:p>
