ABSTRACT
This study aims to examine the effect of digital literacy on international students' university adjustment. A survey of 118 international students in Seoul and Daegu was conducted to test the proposed research model. Results indicate that digital literacy positively influences academic, social, personal-emotional, and institutional adjustment. Notably, ICT self-efficacy significantly mediates the relationship between digital literacy and academic adjustment. In-depth interviews further illuminated these findings. Based on these results, recommendations for digital literacy education for international students are proposed.
