Abstract
For foreign language teachers to successfully transition to digital education, it is crucial to enhance their digital literacy. This study reviews 72 articles (2013–2024) on digital literacy among foreign language teachers in Chinese universities, utilizing the PRISMA framework to filter literature from four databases. Combining Grounded Theory with NVivo12 for data analysis, the study reveals that enhancing the digital literacy of teachers involves four dimensions: national, institutional, team, and individual. The first three dimensions provide critical external supports, while the individual dimension emphasizes the intrinsic motivation of teachers. Therefore, effective enhancement requires a synergistic interaction between external supports and individual motivation.
