The integration of social media into English language learning has created new opportunities for students to access authentic materials, improve engagement, and develop language skills beyond the classroom. This study aimed to investigate students’ perceptions of using Instagram to support English learning, particularly in enhancing reading comprehension. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design involving 15 students from the English Education Department at Universitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang. Data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of 30 statements distributed using Google Forms. The findings revealed that students generally had positive perceptions of Instagram as a learning medium. Most students agreed that Instagram supported their reading activities by providing accessible, interesting, and varied English content. The highest percentage showed that 47% of students agreed that Instagram helped them during reading-based learning activities, while only 7% disagreed. These results indicate that Instagram can encourage students to read English texts more actively, identify difficult vocabulary or expressions, and summarize reading content more effectively. However, students also encountered several obstacles, including poor internet connection and technical problems with mobile devices. Overall, the study suggests that Instagram can be used as a supportive digital learning platform to enhance students’ English reading comprehension when integrated appropriately into language learning activities.

Limited time to direct learning in class often made learning English less effective, especially for classes with various levels of English proficiency. In a higher education climate that demands active learning, English teachers often find it difficult to help students whose English competency was below average to catch up with their peers who had good competence. In general, this compulsory course was only held for one semester. In fact, the target of learning English on campus was generally quite high, namely to make students had sufficient English proficiency so that they could write academic papers in English as an international language. To help overcome these obstacles, this study offers the use of the blended language learning method, which was a learning method that complements direct learning with distant learning using the internet. Blended language learning was able to complement the lack of direct time in class with distance learning using internet media. This research was the result of writer's experience in applying this method for one academic year along with the results obtained from the application of the blended language learning method in the teaching process. With the application of the blended language learning method, the writer found that language learning at the college level could be more effective, efficient, and more student-centered even though the author still faces some obstacles in its application.
