Abstract
"Reading through digital devices today is the fastest way to obtain information, especially with the electronic resources we use when studying an L2. This study aims to investigate university students' perceptions using digital tools through Online Reading Comprehension English Courses (ORCEC). It determines how the use of electronic media influences a more holistic outcome in understanding academic texts in English. The Digital English Text helps enhance the understanding of them. Transforming EFL teaching and learning processes leads to introducing a concept of the educator's innovative competence. "The modern Digital text consists of hyperlinks, videos, and interactive features aimed at helping enhance and understand given information." (Svetlan, 2021, p. 368). Questioning and interviews were conducted among 15 university students from different BA programs. The research followed a case study instance through a quantitative and qualitative analysis. Experiential results demonstrated practicality and preferences. The digital device skills for understanding texts were developed during six weeks in a virtual environment. Using digital devices (DD) and elected tools helped efficiently improve teaching comprehension and reading learning in English. University students showed more interest in using DD to read and search for information".
