This paper explores how students’ perception about using digital novels to learn English in a senior high school. The goal is to find out how digital novels help students improve their reading skills, vocabulary, and interest in learning. The research used a qualitative method with open-ended questionnaires to collect students’ opinions and experiences. This questionnaire involved thirty Senior High School students in Tasikmalaya as participants in filling out the questionnaire. The results show that many students have trouble understanding English tasks, but they still enjoy learning, especially when using digital media. Digital novels help students learn new words and make learning more fun and flexible. However, some students face problems such as poor internet access, difficulty understanding difficult texts, and less support from teachers when using digital novels. Digital novels can help students learn English better, but they work best when teachers give enough support and when traditional and digital learning tools are used together. The students' experiences in learning English are shaped by various factors, including comprehension challenges, teaching strategies, and the use of digital media. Many students struggle with understanding assignments and tasks, which can lead to frustration and disengagement. Many students initially struggle with reading English, using digital novels can significantly improve their motivation, comprehension, and vocabulary when supported by engaging content and teacher guidance. However, challenges such as unequal access to technology, lack of guidance, and limited support from peers or teachers can hinder their effectiveness. Overall, digital novels have strong potential to enhance English learning, but their success depends on how teachers integrate them into lessons, provide guidance, and create supportive environments that balance both digital and traditional reading approaches. Therefore, the future researcher could be using this learning media with some modifications and adaptations to improve another skills in English learning. |
