A Systematic Literature Review of Digital Literacy Differences among EFL Teachers and Students

Since the digital revolution has improved at a quick pace, our world has transformed into a digital environment during the previous few decades. Therefore, the educational system now requires digital literacy training, and being digitally literate is crucial to success in the present digital society. The issue of the necessity of educating digital literacy in educational environments has raged for years, but it has come to an end in spring ۲۰۲۰. Everything has transformed after COVID-۱۹. Regardless of how academic institutions choose to proceed, the pandemic has proved that improving teachers' and students' digital literacy has become a serious challenge. This study provides a systematic review of the existing literature of digital literacy differences among EFL teachers and students dating from ۲۰۰۴ to ۲۰۲۱. The results highlighted that in almost half of the studies EFL teachers' scores were higher than the students' scores and in the other half, students' scores were higher. This article closes by highlighting out some of the pedagogical implications for educational systems, administrations, and policymakers which can be a reference for them to identify digital skills which should be considered more seriously in the educational settings, especially in these Coronavirus days.
