Digital technology can have significant effects on language education. This effect makes the English language teachers teach the subjects better to the students and also improves the quality of teachers' education.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the digital literacy of English language teachers and to investigate the difference between digital literacy and their gender, education level, and teaching experience. To conduct the study, the researcher invited 2,110 EFL teachers to fill out the Teachers' Digital Literacy questionnaire. The researchers used SPPS and AMOS in analyzing the obtained data.
The results of the study indicated that teachers' contextual factors do not influence their digital literacy skills. In addition, the study showed that teachers' attitudes toward technology, their skill to use technology, and their access to technology can significantly affect teachers' digital literacy.
Implications of the study are further discussed in this paper.
数字技术对语言教育会产生重大影响。这种影响使英语教师能够更好地向学生教授课程内容，同时也提高了教师的教育质量。
本研究的目的是评估英语教师的数字素养，并调查数字素养与其性别、教育水平和教学经验之间的差异。为开展这项研究，研究者邀请了2110名英语外语教师填写《教师数字素养调查问卷》。研究者使用SPPS和AMOS分析所获得的数据。
研究结果表明，教师的背景因素不会影响他们的数字素养技能。此外，研究表明，教师对技术的态度、使用技术的技能以及获取技术的机会会显著影响教师的数字素养。
本文将进一步讨论该研究的意义。
