Research subjects were determined through purposive sampling, in which students were selected to represent each department at Manado State Polytechnic based on specific criteria, such as their level of engagement in digital media use and their language communication ability. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies of learning activities.. The outcomes of this study include a clear picture of the effectiveness of digital media use in language learning and the identification of factors influencing its success, covering pedagogical, technological, and student-related aspects. In addition, this study provided practical contributions for educators in systematically and contextually designing, selecting, and integrating digital media into the language learning process.
