Abstract

Despite the growing use of online reading in higher education, particularly among EFL learners, limited study has examined how students differ in their use of reading strategies and the specific challenges they face in online context. Most studies address online reading in general terms, but few examine gender-based perceptions and strategic behaviors in online environments. This study aims to fill the gap by examining the application of metacognitive strategies in online reading focusing on gender differences and the challenges students encounter. A mixed method was employed, involving 100 undergraduate students from non-English departments. Data were gathered using the Online Reading Strategies Inventory (ORSI) and open-ended questionnaires. Findings revealed that both male and female students reported moderate use of metacognitive strategies, with no significant difference in overall strategy selection. However, a gender-related gap was observed in the utilization of support strategies. Additionally, students identified several challenges, including limited engagement with digital features, low literacy skills, and a lack of effective strategy use. The results offer substantial pedagogical implications for English language teaching, emphasizing the need to address students’ difficulties in online reading and to train them in diverse metacognitive strategies to strengthen their reading comprehension, particularly in online contexts.

Abstract

Student engagement has critical impacts on students to excel academically. Integrating social media in a classroom can potentially affect students engagement. The present study aims to examine student engagement in EFL writing using Double-Entry Journal (DEJ) on Instagram, to examine the correlation between cognitive engagement and achievement, and to reveal the challenges in implementing DEJ. The researchers employed a mixed-method design, involving 42 undergraduate students from the English Department of one of the state universities in Indonesia, and obtained the data through questionnaires, writing portfolios, and Instagram documentation. The close-ended and open-ended questionnaires were distributed to the students, whereas writing portfolios and Instagram documentation were observed to examine the students writing performance. The collected data were managed, classified, and analyzed. The findings reveal that the students are behaviorally, cognitively, and affectively engaged by DEJ assisted with Instagram. There was a positive correlation between cognitive engagement and writing achievement. Yet, challenges had been found, including lack of interaction, student anxiety, and insufficient knowledge during the learning process. The challenges are lessened when teachers and peers offer support with DEJ. The results provide pedagogical implications for teachers to employ instructional strategies that promote engagement in all three dimensions, behaviorally, cognitively, and affectively to attain the students outcomes.
