Abstract

To interact with digital reading text, language learners need to use certain reading strategies. This paper explores the reading strategies used by undergraduate language learners in a public university in Jambi to read digital academic texts. The data were taken through informal interview in WhatsApp group, questionnaire through a Google Form, and a focus group discussion through a Zoom meeting. The qualitative analysis on the data shows that the students apply certain critical reading strategies in dealing with the digital academic texts. The strategies that the students find extremely useful are rereading the text, note taking and annotating, looking up keywords, making a personal connection, connecting two or more ideas from the text, and comparing different ideas from the text. However, in applying the strategies students faced distractions such as notification and hyperlink. To face the challenge, the students are suggested to focus on their reading purpose.
