Using Canva as a tool for creating English learning media is one of the ways EFL students can do when preparing their teaching and learning practices. This study investigates EFL students’ perceptions ofthe kinds of English learning media created by the EFL students using Canva and the benefits of using Canva as a tool for creating English learning media as perceived by these students. The researchers employed a descriptive qualitative design to achieve the objectives ofthis study. This study was conducted at a large private university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The participants in this study were six EFL students from the 2019 batch. The researchers conducted interviews to gather in-depth experiences of the participants. The findings of this study indicate that EFL students have created six different types of English learning media using Canva. The English learning media created by EFL students were presentation slides, flashcards, videos, textbooks, Infographics, and social media content. The findings also elaborate on several benefits of using Canva to create English learning media as perceived by the EFL students. The benefits are that Canva is easy to use, provides various templates for various learning media, caters to EFL students’ creativity, saves the EFL students’ time creating teaching media, and allows EFL students to create fun multimodal learning media. The researchers suggest that students use Canva for creating English learning media, as it offers a variety of features and designs for free. Teachers should familiarize students with Canva, ensure device compatibility, and have a strong internet connection before implementing it in the classroom.  \nThis is an open access article under the CC–BY-SA license.  \nHow to Cite: Sari, M.

Introduction  \nMedia used in teaching and learning is frequently interpreted as capturing, processing, andrearranging visual or verbal information using graphic, photographic, or technological tools. Media can be a powerful tool for capturing and processing information and enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes. For example, according to a report by SAGE Publications (n.d.), media can help bring history into the classroom through pictures, music, and other visuals to a degree never before possible. In the learning process, activities are carried out between teachers and students.  \nMedia can also be used to complement traditional approaches to learning. Effective instruction builds bridges between students' knowledge and the course's learning objectives. Intermediaries are  \nrequired when communicating with students about knowledge (cognitive), skills (psychomotor), and values (affective) . Learning media serves as a bridge between sources and recipients for educational purposes, and student learning outcomes can be determined by their interest and motivatio","cbCaidr8HXkjOQxo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidr8HXkjOQxo","pdf",375718,"English","# Introduction\n## Teaching media as a bridge in learning\n## Technology and digital tools for English learning\n## Canva as a widely used design tool","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of this study about Canva and English learning media?\",\"answer\":\"The study investigates EFL students’ perceptions of the types of English learning media they create using Canva and the benefits they perceive from using Canva for this purpose.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of English learning media did students create with Canva?\",\"answer\":\"Students created six types: presentation slides, flashcards, videos, textbooks, infographics, and social media content.\"},{\"question\":\"What benefits of using Canva were reported by the EFL students?\",\"answer\":\"Students reported that Canva is easy to use, offers many templates, supports creativity, saves time, and helps them create fun multimodal learning media.\"}]","Creating English learning media using Canva - EFL students’ perspective - Research findings | PDF"]
