Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) plays a crucial role in second/foreign language education. Enormous changes in technology and the growing emphasis on 21st century skills, especially digital literacy, raise a concern about English as a second/foreign language (ESL/EFL) learners’ and teachers’ competence in CALL more than ever. In response to the mounting concern, this study investigates 92 pre-service English teachers’ digital literacy in Hong Kong. This study reports on the participants’ digital literacy level as well as factors affecting their use of digital technologies for teaching English. Results of the study uncover pre-service English teachers’ current practice and knowledge of digital literacy and attitude toward digital technology in language teaching and learning. Finally, the paper identifies limitations of the study and provides suggestions to improve digital literacy surveys as well as possible future research.
