This research aims to explore the current reading habits of university students. Moreover, it aims to determine the effects of widespread use of the internet and other digital resources in reading habits and to give some possible recommendation to improve students' reading habits in the digital era. The research design was descriptive survey research. The instrument of the research was questionnaire, which is based on Akarsu and Dariyemez (2014) and Chauhan and Lal (2012). The participants of the research were 320 students studying in six majors in Faculty of Teachers Training and Education at Borneo University. They were selected through the cluster random sampling. The questionnaire involved six categories, namely demographic information, frequency of items read, contents of online reading, online activities, content first clicked when online, and techniques to develop reading habits.

Indonesian university students are not well-familiar with language learning strategies (LLS) as they are dependent on their lecturers. This condition also gets worse because the students still have low level of proficiency although they have already been learning English for multiple years. There have been many researches on students' LLS related to the four language skills and gender but there is a high need of studying the students' LLS regarding their age in the Indonesian higher education context. This research aimed at investigating students' language learning strategies related to their ages and providing some steps to make teaching program more effective by considering students' LLS and their age as well. This research utilized descriptive survey research design. The participants were 122 English Department students at one of public universities in Borneo Island, Indonesia. The instrument was SILL questionnaire. All the collected data were analyzed statistically. The findings show that students mostly used metacognitive (M=3.857), cognitive (M=3.707), and compensation strategies (M=3.563). The students' different age led them to select and implement different strategies. Some steps to optimize students' learning strategies are through inserting LLS instruction in the curriculum of teaching program, implementing certain models of strategy instruction, and developing lecturers' awareness of designing instruction at which one of the methods that can be employed is eclective methods. Considering all findings, it can be concluded that although indirect strategies get higher means of preference from the participants but they do not only focus on using indirect strategies. They combine those with direct strategies. Further, to make students more successful on their learning, the institution including lecturers and the academic community should take part in the effort of teaching learning strategies. This provides future research area that emphasizes on designing LLS instruction regarding students' age and level of their education.

COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the shifting of teaching-learning process from the combination of F2F and online learning to full-online one. This study aims to investigate students’ perspective on the implementation of full-online learning mode in English classroom with a low-tech environment. Employing convenience sampling, 104 university students participated in this study. Survey method was utilized. The findings showed that (1) the respondents have had various level of familiarity using search engine, social media, e-resources and learning apps that enable them to comprehend the learning content; (2) the use of social media, e-resources and learning apps results a different impact on respondents’ perception on learning effectiveness; (3) the respondents are more digitally-literate in using learning application or other online-based platforms and enable to autonomously learn the course materials as well as improve their language skills; (4) support system needs to be increased to engage students in teaching and learning activities; (5) there is a requirement of feedback and consistency in determining course schedule and timeline for task and exam submission. It can be concluded that university students have positive and negative perspective on full-online learning mode. Suggestions are presented in the closure.

In many study results, technology integration has been indicated to contribute regularly on the development of students 21st century skills ultimately in this digital era. This condition particularly creates new challenges for language teachers, e.g. being digitally literate, being adaptable with rapid technological changes, finding alternatives to stimulate the students to learn, and creating conducive class atmosphere. Considering previous points, this paper presents teachers view on the integration of technology in their EFL classroom. Qualitative method was utilized in which the data were in the form of comments dealing with technology use and teachers views on technology integration in their classroom. The compiled data was then analyzed by applying interactive model. The finding shows that teachers have positive views on the integration of technology in EFL classroom. Stated benefits of technology integration on enabling the development of students 21st century skills, teachers are highly demanded to encourage students active participation by engaging them through meaningful learning activities and use of technology simultaneously. Therefore, teachers should put high attention on the process of selecting, preparing, integrating, assessing, and evaluating types of technology being employed in classroom instruction.
