Today, technology, particularly the internet, is used to improve almost
every field. Many resources are now available in non-print formats, such as
audiobooks, web novels, and e-books, thanks to recent technological
advancements. Because of technological advancements, many Indonesian
students prefer to use their gadgets rather than read library books or printed
resources. Based on this phenomenon, a researcher is interested in investigating
students' experiences with digital resources when learning English. The
researcher's goal is to determine the benefits and drawbacks of using digital
resources for learning English. In this study, the researcher combined a
qualitative approach with descriptive research methods. Interviews are used to
collect data, whereas data analysis techniques include data reduction, data
display, and conclusion drawing and verification. Participants in this study
were Tarbiyah English Education Department students and Antasari Islamic
State University Banjarmasin semester 3 academic year 2021 teacher training
faculty members. The findings of this study show that student 1 and the others
have very different experiences with the use of digital resources in learning
English, including the benefits and drawbacks of these resources. According
to the student's explanation, several advantages of digital resources include
time savings when searching for material and the ability to use digital resources
at any time and from any location. There are also several disadvantages that
students face when using digital resources, such as paid journals, ambiguous
sources, and ineffective networks. The study concluded that each student has a
unique perspective on how to use digital resources to learn English. It is
impossible to deny that today's widespread use of technology, particularly in
education, has both benefits and drawbacks. As a result, exercise caution when
using internet sources, as many of them may contain fake informations,
affecting students' learning.
