The aim of the article is to explore master students’ perceptions of their digital competence by identifying frequency, expertise, and satisfaction in using information communication technologies (ICT) in their learning process when studying at university and teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) in the context of online education. The sample comprised 49 master students who participated in distant evening classes at a private university in Kazakhstan while working simultaneously as teachers of English in various educational institutions during the day. Master students’ perceptions of digital competence isone of the approaches to reveal the gaps in students’ digital competence development necessary for learning and teaching EFL online. The main research tool for data collection was the online survey allowing the master students to measure their level of digital competence. Evident from the results, the majority of respondents are digitally competent; yet there is a cohort of master students who scored low on ICT skills needed for teaching and admitted the necessity of improvement. Also, according to the findings, the respondents’ frequency, expertise, and satisfaction level by their digital competence needed in the learning is higher than that in teaching. This can also imply that even though the frequency and expertise in using digital technologies for learning contributes to the development of the expertise in using them for conducting their own classes, master students need special training on the use of ICT for pedagogical purposes.\u003Cbr>Keywords: perceptions, digital competence, ICT, learning, teaching, EFL, online |\n| --- | --- |\n| INTRODUCTION |  |\n\nIn the contemporary world, digitalization has significantly and irreversibly changed our perceptions of successful learning, studying, researching, working, and communicating, regardless of the sphere of use. The pandemic of COVID-19 transferred many people to study and work from home in the online and distance modes. In the field of TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) the pandemic of COVID-19 has strengthened language learners’ and teachers’ need and motivation to study and teach the language online. By that time a great amount of various language materials and online courses were already accessible on the Internet, providing opportunities to satisfy language learners’ diverse needs.  \nHowever, in Kazakhstani context, the pandemic has also revealed that using all this information presented huge challenges both for English language teachers and learners due to the insufficient skills in computerassisted language learning (CALL), mobile assisted language learning (MALL), and computer aided instruction.  \nIt should be noted that in the current study the term","cbCailmWdV1ug2HX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailmWdV1ug2HX","pdf",402157,14,"English","# Introduction\n## Digitalization and online learning context\n## Challenges in the Kazakhstani context\n## Purpose and significance of the study","[{\"question\":\"What does the article investigate about digital competence in online education?\",\"answer\":\"It examines master students’ perceptions of their digital competence through frequency, expertise, and satisfaction when using ICT for learning and for teaching EFL online.\"},{\"question\":\"How was students’ digital competence measured in this study?\",\"answer\":\"An online survey was used as the main data collection tool to measure students’ digital competence levels.\"},{\"question\":\"What key differences emerged between learning and teaching regarding ICT use?\",\"answer\":\"Respondents reported higher frequency, expertise, and satisfaction in using digital competence for learning than for teaching, and some students identified the need for improvement in ICT skills for teaching.\"}]","Perceptions of digital competence in learning and teaching English in the context of online education | PDF",1792090305,35]
