The main component of Society 5.0 is humans who can solve many social challenges and problems by utilizing various technologies which are existing in the Industrial Revolution 4.0. In the era of Society 5.0, education has an important role to advance the quality of human resources. Therefore, education skills for 21st century is needed, where digital literacy is one of the basic competencies that must be possessed. The global pandemic has accelerated the use of media in education, such as finding lesson information, learning materials, exercises, and others. Digital platforms are currently the most appropriate means and continue to support learning activities. Against this background the use of various digital platforms requires more insight from teachers. The unexpected shift in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) from traditional classroom interactions to online learning activities has generated several challenges for practitioners and education coordinators. This literature survey was conducted to provide an overview of the challenges faced by EFL teachers in various countries. Special consideration has been given to barriers for successful formation of digital competency. For this purpose, the methods of theoretical analysis and generalization of national and international studies were used. The data was collected from the contributions published between 2020 and 2022 in various academic journal databases. Current approaches to define the digital competence helped to make it more precise. The results are stated as eligibility criteria and the inventory of acute problems faced by EFL teachers which directs the concerned persons to be further sources of information.
