In this study, an online Korean reading class is suggested to improve digital literacy competence. As Korean learners are increasingly exposed to a plethora of information through digital platforms, they are experiencing a transformative shift in the dynamics of digital texts and readers within the digital space. Consequently, the cultivation of digital literacy is essential for learners to achieve communicative goals and actively engage in society. In this study, we analyze existing research on digital literacy and online reading, and categorize the essential online reading skills for Korean online reading education into the following domains: “locate online information,” “comprehend information,” “synthesize online information” “critically evaluate online information,” and “communicate online information.” The study recommends specific online comprehension strategies tailored for each stage of reading comprehension to aid in structuring of reading classes.
