Abstract

Learning English as an international language has changed a new paradigm in learning in the Covid-19 pandemic era, both synchronously and asynchronously so that digital literacy and student learning styles are increasing. This research aims to describe the condition of digital literacy and student learning styles in the pandemic era. This research employed mixed method. The technique of collecting data used questionnaires and interview. The data were collected from 100 students by using google form both closed and open-ended. The results showed that the students’ literacy skills in learning English during the covid-19 pandemic were in high or good category (3.65). Meanwhile the students’ literacy ability in supporting good/high learning practices was in a very high category (4.28). It means that students have predominantly carried out learning activities using online both independently and in lectures. Good digital literacy directly affects the learning styles used by students in their learning. Student learning styles are in the good or balanced category (3.79) in applying six learning styles. The details of each learning style are auditory, kinaesthetic, visual, tactile, group, and individual. Among the six learning styles, the auditory learning style is more dominant than other learning styles. Between learning styles and students' digital literacy skills, there is a balance, namely good or high categories.
