Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have revolutionized 21st century society by the incorporation of a wide range of digital tools in individuals' daily life. In education, the use of new technologies affects students, future teachers, and in-service teachers, as they need to be trained for proper utilization. The aim of this research is to analyze the already existing literature with the regard to what extent EFL pre-service and in-service teachers' level of digital literacy skills affect the linguistic skills development in the EFL classroom. The study sheds light about the importance of a high-quality digital literacy training for EFL students and teachers, as this is the only way to overcome the barriers towards the achievement of digitally literate students and to meaningfully promote the linguistic skills in the foreign language classroom (reading, writing, listening, and speaking).
