DIGITAL LITERACY IMPLEMENTATION IN TEACHING ENGLISH AT SMKN TORAJA UTARA
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to find out how digital literacy is implemented by English teachers at North Toraja Vocational High School. Researchers use qualitative methods in this study. Data were taken from 3 (three) English teachers who were collected using a purposive sampling technique. To obtain data, researchers used interviews and analyzed using the theory of Miles and Huberman. The results of this study indicate that the use of digital literacy at the vocational level, especially at Toraja Utara Vocational School, is quite optimal. The application of digital literacy was carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic and is still being implemented today. In implementing digital literacy, teachers use applications such as Whatsapp, Google Classroom, Messenger, and Zoom to teach English, with this media it can help teachers quickly convey material to students who will be discussed. However, in general, teachers more often use messengers to teach and give assignments through this media, because messengers are applications that can still be used and easily accessed by students even in offline mode (without internet). Based on the results of the research above, the researchers concluded that the application of digital literacy at North Toraja Vocational High School is quite optimal, and in general teachers are more dominant in using messenger applications because they can be accessed by both teachers and students even though they are in offline mode (without internet).
