Abstract: This study investigated the digital literacy skills and autonomy among EFL students at normal schools in China. Using adapted questionnaires distributed to 405 participants, data were analyzed via Weighted Mean, Ranking, Regression Analysis, and ANOVA. The study revealed that students exhibited strong digital literacy, information sourcing, and analysis skills, with high autonomy in language learning. However, they struggled with proficiency analysis and synthesizing learning strategies, indicating a need for interventions. The findings underscore the importance of programmatic interventions tailored to student profiles. Autonomy is crucial in enhancing digital literacy, suggesting an integrated curriculum to bolster these skills among normal school students in China.
