This article, is part of an ongoing study, discusses teachers Technological Literacy and Digital Literacy. Its aim is to investigate whether Language course students from the PARFOR (National Plan for Training Teachers at the Federal University of Tocantins on Araguaína campus) are digitally literate. We also seek to understand what Digital Literacy and Technological Literacy means pointing out the differences and / or conceptual approaches of those two epistemological categories. The survey is classified as qualitative and case study, and the procedures were reviewed literature and field research performed in two groups of PARFOR / Language / Araguaína. The results show that to reach Digital Literacy it is necessary the subject to be technologically literate. It also showed that the teachers who participated in study, don´t have skills to handle the computer and its applications, and thus aren´t digitally literate.
