Abstract

The integration of digital textbooks in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom has become more common, particularly as digital literacy grows in importance for 21st-century learners. While many digital learning tools are available, there is limited research that closely examines how digital textbooks contribute to students’ digital literacy development in real classroom practice, especially in EFL contexts. This study aimed to explore how the use of digital textbooks contributes to students’ digital literacy development in EFL learning from both student and teacher perspectives. A qualitative case study was conducted involving classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with students and an English teacher. The analysis was guided by Hague and Payton’s digital literacy framework by covering eight aspects: functional skills, creativity, critical thinking and evaluation, cultural and social understanding, collaboration, ability to find and select information, effective communication, and safeguarding. The findings indicated that digital textbooks supported several aspects of digital literacy, particularly functional skills, information selection, and critical evaluation. However, certain aspects, such as creativity and safeguarding, were less frequently observed. The study concludes that digital textbooks have the potential to foster digital literacy in EFL settings, but their effectiveness depends on how actively features are utilized and supported through guided classroom practices.

Abstract

Speaking English is a crucial part of learning English as a foreign language (EFL), yet many Indonesian students struggle with vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and fluency. While numerous studies have been conducted on mobile-assisted language learning (MALL), little is known about the precise function of TikTok videos as a self-help tool for speaking acquisition, particularly in studies that do not consider the user's perspective. This study examines how TikTok videos can help improve English speaking skills, with an emphasis on vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and fluency. Three TikTok videos were selected using a qualitative content study. The results indicate that these videos demonstrate authentic and spontaneous English speaking techniques that can help users improve their speaking skills through unstructured digital content. This implies that TikTok videos can be used as supplementary speaking examples for students learning English as a second language (EFL). Teachers and content producers can learn more about the educational potential of social media platforms from this research.
