Slamet Riyadi No.361, Windan, Makamhaji, Kec. Kartasura,  \nKabupaten Sukoharjo, Jawa Tengah 5716, Indonesia  \n[tiranurfitria@gmail.com](tiranurfitria@gmail.com)  \nAbstract  \nThe increasing integration of digital design tools in language education highlights the need to examine their pedagogical value, particularly in developing English learning materials. However, previous studies have largely focused on Canva’s technical features rather than its instructional potential in creating English short functional texts. This study aims to investigate the use of Canva as a learning medium for designing English materials for short functional texts. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the data were collected from observations of Canva-based material development and analysis of sample instructional designs created using the platform. The findings reveal that Canva is a user-friendly and accessible design tool that supports teachers, lecturers, and students—especially beginners and non-designers—in producing visually engaging English learning materials. Canva provides a wide range of free templates, layouts, images, and design elements that facilitate the creation of short functional texts such as brochures, announcements, banners, flyers, invitation cards, greeting cards, advertisements, application letters, and curriculum vitae. The study also finds that Canva enables teachers to design project-based learning activities in which students modify existing templates to produce their own texts, allowing teachers to analyze linguistic features and text structures directly from students’ designs. This research contributes to English language teaching by demonstrating that Canva can function not only as a design tool but also as an effective learning medium that enhances students’ creativity, participation, and communicative competence in producing short functional texts.  \nKeywords : Canva, English Material, Simple Graphic Design  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIn this era, digital media has a major influence on every aspect of life, including education (Al-farizi & Suherman, 2019) . Nowadays, teachers also have to be proficient and skilled in using technology. Therefore, teachers/lecturers must keep up with technological developments. One way to keep up with technological developments is to use digital media in the learning process. Technological developments in learning require teachers/lecturers to have the ability to sort and select the information that is presented so widely, not only in the form of printed books but also in other media, which are presented visually. This causes teachers/lecturers to be able to interpret the message conveyed intelligently.  \nThe presence of the COVID-19 pandemic has also led to the emergence of many new technologies that make it easier for teachers/lecturers. Many teaching media are starting to emerge. One of them is Canva. Canva ([http://www.canva.com](http://www.canva.com)) was founded in Australia in 2012. Canva is a simple graphic design program for amateurs and pros to create blog graphics, flyers, photos, posters, presentations, social media postings, and more (Yang & Li, 2015) . Giddings (2022) states that Canva is a free-to-use cloud-based  \ngraphic design program. Canva ([https://www.canva.com](https://www.canva.com)) is the ultimate tool for the nondesigner who wants to create great graphics (Moore, 2016) . Canva is the best digital tool for creating a presentation using photos, animations, schemes, and, in general, any visual material selected by the teaching practitioner (Bin et al., 2022) . Canva is an online graphic design application that offers access to free and paid design tools (Fitria, 2024) . The free edition of Canva allows us to access several types of templates and design them according to our needs. We can also make posters, postca","cbCaiaAZ4NxXWHWu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaAZ4NxXWHWu","pdf",928693,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the study on Canva in English education?\",\"answer\":\"To investigate how Canva can function as a learning medium for designing English materials for short functional texts.\"},{\"question\":\"What research approach is used in the study?\",\"answer\":\"A descriptive qualitative approach using observations of Canva-based material development and analysis of sample instructional designs created with the platform.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Canva support teachers and students in creating short functional texts?\",\"answer\":\"It provides user-friendly access to templates, layouts, images, and design elements, enabling visually engaging materials and project-based activities where students modify templates to produce their own texts.\"}]","CREATING ENGLISH MATERIAL OF SHORT FUNCTIONAL TEXTS USING CANVA AS A SIMPLE GRAPHIC DESIGN | PDF",1790239240,6]
