In this era of information, communication, and technology, digital literacy is a must for internet users including students. Digital literacy means the ability to select information on the internet and is aware of online safety. Despite the concerns about digital literacy, there is a paucity in the curriculum that does not state it as a learning goal. Therefore, this paper attempts to propose two models of learning activities to promote teaching digital literacy in an English classroom. Digital Literacy has emerged as an essential issue in this era of information communication, and technology (ICT hereafter). With the growing trend of the internet which offers abundant information, internet users including students need the ability to be digitally literate. online Reports collected from several sources show that most teens are unconcerned about the dangers of sharing personal information online. More than half of teens think that posting photos or other personal information on social networking sites is safe. Nearly half of the teens are not worried about others using their personal information in ways they do not want, and about half are unconcerned about posting personal information online might negatively affect their future.

The data show how teenagers nowadays are not really aware of their safety in an online world. One of the adjustments of the curriculum in which digital literacy teaching can be applied is through English lessons. The reason why English is chosen is that it has become the main language of some areas including technology. Even, eighty percent of the world’s electronically stored information is in English and, of the estimated 200 million users of the internet some thirty sex percent communicate in English. As a result, English is used as the main language of the internet. Therefore, an adjustment in the English subject is presumably needed.
