Abstract
AbstractThis phenomenological study explored the experiences of language learners in the digital age, specifically investigating the intersection of digital literacy, technostress, online engagement, autonomy, and academic success. Twenty participants, selected through purposive sampling, shared Chinese as their native language and were between 18 and 20 years old, with five participants being female. Employing interviews and document analysis, the study aimed to understand the subjective meanings, emotions, and perceptions associated with these phenomena. The findings revealed the multifaceted nature of technostress, the crucial role of digital literacy in shaping online engagement and autonomy, and the nuanced impact on academic success. These qualitative insights contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex relationships in the digital language learning landscape. The study has implications for educators, materials developers, syllabus designers, and policy-makers, providing practical insights to enhance language learning experiences in the digital era. Future research may further explore specific dimensions uncovered in this study to adapt educational practices to the evolving digital terrain.
