The shift of learning mode from offline to online as the effect of Pandemic Covid -19 provides more experience about literacy to EFL students. Literacy which is formerly defined as the ability to read and write, has myriad definitions including the ability to use digital media for learning. EFL students nowadays are said as digital native and are assumed as familiar with digital media. The present study intends to explore the EFL students' digital literacy practices and the contribution of digital technology toward students' learning. The findings show that EFL students use digital media for some purposes such as learning, working part time, seeking new information, and some others. They are familiar and able to use various types of social media, digital photographs, mobile apps, mp 4 audio, software video sharing, virtual reality, augmented reality, and podcast. The frequent uses of digital media contribute to the students' learning by increasing their thinking capability, helping them control their emotion, and supporting their interaction with their friends. The outcome of students' digital literacy practices emerge in various form like short stories, novel, photograph, advertisement, classroom assignment, educational video, picture, animation and some other products that support learning.
