Abstract
In the digital age, the importance of digital literacy is paramount, especially for EFL students who increasingly depend on digital resources to enhance their language skills. The study examines how digital literacy enables students to engage in self-paced learning, access a diverse range of online resources, and utilize digital tools and platforms for personalized reading practice. The paper argues that digital literacy significantly contributes to self-regulation by allowing students to track their progress, set reading goals, and actively engage in reading comprehension through interactive online activities. These digital competencies also enable students to critically evaluate and analyze digital texts, which is essential for developing effective reading strategies. Moreover, improved digital literacy skills are shown to aid EFL students in regulating their reading habits and managing their time more effectively. Overall, the findings highlight the essential role of digital literacy in enhancing self-regulation among EFL students, particularly in the development of reading skills. By providing access to various digital tools and platforms, digital literacy not only facilitates personalized and self-regulated learning but also empowers students to take control of their educational journey. The paper concludes that fostering digital literacy is crucial in the current educational landscape, where digital tools are integral to language learning and skill development.
