Abstract: The rapid development of information and communication technology has posed great challenges and set new requirements to teachers' information literacy. The article has examined the relationship between college English teachers' information literacy and their teaching effectiveness by using SPSS to analyze data collected by a questionnaire, classroom observation, and an interview, which reveals that teachers' information literacy, especially their ability in integrating information technology into their teaching activities, plays a crucial role in their teaching effectiveness, and students' acquisition of explicit language knowledge. Therefore, the improvement of English teachers' information literacy calls for the efforts from teachers, higher education institutions, and the national educational policy makers as well.
