Digital Literacy in English Language Teaching

 UNICEF defines digital literacy as “the knowledge, skills and attitudes that allow children to flourish and thrive in an increasingly global digital world, being both safe and empowered, in ways that are appropriate to their age and local cultures and contexts.” 

Through the lens of education, we like to think of digital literacy as a student’s ability to use digital tools and technologies to work, learn and interact. Digital literacy manifests as both cognitive and technical skills.

Beyond being a basic required skill to move about in today’s connected world, there are a number of specific benefits students will realize once they gain digital literacy skills:

1. Improved writing, reading, listening and speaking skills

2. Ability to identify authentic materials

3. Increased frequency and ability to use digital technology 

4. Enhanced ability to collaborate with teachers and peers

5. Enhanced engagement 

6. Improved academic performance
