Abstract

In the learning process, an effective media is needed for supporting the students in mastering learning competencies, even in ELT students. In this era, students are familiar with different kinds of online media, so the selection of media which supports their learning is very necessary. By using the appropriate learning media, it is hoped it gives positive impacts and the class objectives are achieved. This study aims to investigate the perceived impact of using online media toward English competence of ELT students. Researchers used a case study research design by collecting the data using semi-structured interview as the instrument then the data were analyzed to take conclusion. There were 10 ELT students in one public university in Malang who became participants of the study. The findings showed that the use of online media gives impacts towards the student’s English competence by improving their listening, speaking, reading, writing, and even their vocabulary mastery and their pronunciation. Further, the online media tend to give beneficial aspects such as varied and broader material, increasing learning motivation, the flexibility of learning styles, and the ease of learning using online media. These findings also show that there are obstacles in applying the media, those are the challenges in finding the appropriate learning media and how students are easily distracted in using online media. Overall, this study finds positive results about the impacts of using online media towards students’ English competence.
