Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between students' exposure to English content on Instagram and their reading comprehension at SMA Negeri 2 Palu. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. The participants were 60 eleventh-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a 20-item questionnaire measuring students' exposure to English content on Instagram and a 20-item reading comprehension test. The collected data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank Correlation test because one of the variables was not normally distributed. The findings revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.038 with a significance value of 0.773 (p > 0.05), indicating that there was no statistically significant correlation between exposure to English content on Instagram and students' reading comprehension. The findings suggest that incidental exposure to English content through Instagram alone is insufficient to improve students' reading comprehension without purposeful and structured learning activities. Therefore, Instagram should be regarded as a supplementary learning resource that supports English learning rather than a substitute for formal reading instruction.
