The notion of digital citizenship and recommendations for the implementation of digital citizenship education (DCE) in education systems are becoming more and more widespread. The present work is a meta-analysis of the literature published on this topic. We draw on it to establish a broad (non prescriptive) profile of the digital citizen and to highlight how language education can be relevant to DCE. A thematic content analysis of the corpus (n = 96 texts published from 2016 to 2020) was conducted. Five main categories characterizing the digital citizen emerged. Within each of them, we explored possible links with language education.
