Implication

This study finds a positive correlation between actual digital literacies and reading comprehension in English major students, suggesting important implications for language education.

Key Points

A positive correlation between actual digital literacies and reading comprehension was found, emphasizing the importance of digital competencies in language acquisition.
227 Chinese-background English major students participated, revealing moderate-to-high self-perceived digital knowledge, which did not align with actual competencies.
Urban participants displayed higher self-perceptions regarding digital skills, underlining the influence of geographic factors on literacy perceptions.
The study highlights a significant perception-performance gap, indicating potential overconfidence in digital skills due to everyday usage versus academic application.
