In this study, it is aimed to compare the 2019 Turkish Language Course Curriculum and the 2024 Turkish Language Course Curriculum in terms of digital literacy skills, and to determine how this skill is reflected in the core components, themes, topics, learning objectives, and learning outcomes of the curricula. For this purpose, the research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method. The data of the research were analyzed using the content analysis technique. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that the Turkish Course Curriculum published in 2024 addresses digital literacy skills in greater detail compared to the Turkish Course Curriculum published in 2019. It was also concluded that literacy skills are among the basic components of the 2024 program, and digital literacy skills occupy a broader scope within this framework. Similar results were also observed in the distribution of themes and topics, and it was determined that the current program is of higher quality in terms of both frequency and distribution across grade levels. In addition, while the concept of digital literacy skills is explicitly incorporated in the themes and topics of the current program, it appears in a more indirect manner in the previous curriculum. When looking at the distribution of the 2019 Turkish Course Curriculum according to language skills, it was determined that learning objectives related to digital literacy skills were most prevalent in reading, followed by writing, whereas objectives related to listening/viewing and speaking skills were found to be quite limited.. In contrast, it was determined that there was a more balanced distribution according to language skills in the 2024 program. In this respect, it can be said that the 2024 program is a more competent program in terms of fostering digital literacy skills compared to the 2019 program. Based on the findings of the research, some recommendations were included.
