The current research investigates the digital literacy levels of 1661 English as a foreign language (EFL) learner at Vietnamese universities. We used an adapted questionnaire to assess students’ digital knowledge and their perceived skills, their attitudes toward the use of digital technologies, and the frequency of use of technology applications in English learning. The findings reveal that most Vietnamese students can access digital technologies at home and in their institutions. Furthermore, students achieve an adequate level of knowledge regarding digital literacy, and their technological skills range from low to average. Students’ attitudes toward technologies are positive, but they do not use technologies extensively when learning English. Comparisons show that males have better digital knowledge and skills than their female peers. Although female students are more aware of the digital integration benefits of learning than their male peers, males tend to use technologies more extensively than females. There are also discrepancies among different year groups. Seniors have the best digital knowledge, while freshmen possess the highest technical skill levels. Junior and senior students’ attitudes toward technology applications in English learning are more positive than those of freshmen and sophomores.

EFL学生的数字素养：越南大学的实证研究

目前的研究调查了越南大学 1661 名英语作为外语 (EFL) 学习者的数字素养水平。我们使用经过调整的问卷来评估学生的数字知识和他们的感知技能、他们对使用数字技术的态度以及在英语学习中使用技术应用的频率。调查结果表明，大多数越南学生可以在家中和所在机构使用数字技术。此外，学生在数字素养方面达到了足够的知识水平，他们的技术技能从低到中等不等。学生对技术的态度是积极的，但他们在学习英语时并没有广泛使用技术。比较表明，男性比女性同龄人拥有更好的数字知识和技能。尽管女学生比男同学更了解学习的数字化整合好处，但男性往往比女性更广泛地使用技术。不同年级之间也存在差异。老年人拥有最好的数字知识，而新生拥有最高的技术技能水平。大三学生对英语学习中技术应用的态度比大一和大二学生更积极。
