The Level Of English Cooperating Teachers’ Digital Literacy Skills and The Frequency Of Digital Media Use in ELT Classroom: Seeking The Correlation

Living in digital era encourages English teachers to not only master English language skills and pedagogical skills, but also have digital literacy skills. This study aims to find out English teachers’ level of digital literacy skills, the frequency of digital media use, and the correlation between teachers’ digital literacy level and their frequency use of digital media. This study administered self-assessment questionnaires to 24 English cooperating teachers in UINSA. The result revealed that English cooperating teachers had medium level in digital literacy skills (x̄=85,05) which means that they sometimes locate and consume digital contents; create digital contents; and communicate digital contents. Besides, they also had low level frequency rate in digital media use (x̄=67) which means that they rarely use digital media in their practices. The result indicated that there was significant correlation between teachers’ digital literacy skills level and their frequency of digital media use. It means that the higher level of digital literacy skills they have, the more frequent digital media use in ELT classroom.
