Background Information
It helps teacher to decide which method can be suitable to be applied, how to manage unique characteristics that each learner has, how to develop learning materials as well as how to practice better pedagogy for them. 2012) supported the importance of analyzing students before choosing the best things to teach them. About students' experience in learning English, there are 9 out of 31 students who experienced the English course and the rest of them never experienced it before enrolling in the university.
General Characteristics
In the next section of the learning needs questionnaire, students were asked to describe the types of media/technology they had used in previous writing lessons. It can be summarized here that in relation to the media or technology used by the students in the previous grade, paper and whiteboard were still dominant as a classroom practice as a media practice with technology.

As seen in the above chart, the most obvious finding that can emerge from this point is students' preferred learning style using physical; learning by doing, using the body to assist learning, e.g. Interesting facts from this finding revealed that students' preference in learning is very much towards learning by reading and taking notes (58%).

DESIGNING CYBER LITERATURE-BASED INSTRUCTION IN TEACHING ENGLISH
LITERATURE AT UNIVERSITAS ISLAM NEGERI ALAUDDIN MAKASSAR
Online Learning
Online learning, e-learning, online learning and distributed learning are terms that we often hear and mix up. Davidson-Shivers and Rasmussen further explained that the term e-learning is often found in the readings associated with education in the business and industrial world, namely as an alternative to training. This shows that education and training are being influenced by the digital technology industry and the internet.
This impact can be considered positive because it encourages various parties, educators, managers of educational organizations and students themselves to adapt to innovation and the global era. The following discussion relates to the term learning through internet technology from various sources. According to Dabbagh dan Bannan-Ritland, online learning is an open and distributed learning environment that uses a pedagogical approach, enabled by Internet and web-based technologies, to facilitate learning and knowledge building through meaningful action and interaction.
Learning Management System (LMS)
Moreover, as defined by OVAREP, "the LMS e-learning platform is a computing device that groups several tools and secures the educational lines. It offers many services that allow content management, in particular by creating, importing and exporting learning objects. The set of available tools in The LMS represents all these services that help manage the learning process and the interaction between users, such as the access control services, synchronous and asynchronous communication tools, and user management services.
The figure above illustrates the general principle of operation of an LMS e-learning platform by presenting the key functions related to the main actors: learners, teachers, tutors, coordinators and administrators. A teacher responsible for one or more modules can create and manage the educational content that he wants to broadcast through the platform. Finally, the administrator is responsible for the customization of the platform, which has the resulting administration rights (system installation, maintenance, access management).
Cyber-literature

- Component and feature of cyber-literature instruction Sherry and Wilson (1997) stated that a cyber-literature
- Advantages of cyber-literature instruction
- Cyber-literature in Language Teaching
- Model of Development

Key features are an integral part of e-literature design, such as interactive and multimedia systems. In measuring the needs of the students, the researcher tries to find out the current condition of the students. As shown in the analysis of the existing curriculum and the content of the materials, they are not designed based on the needs and expectations of the students.
In measuring the needs of the students, the researcher tries to find out the different current state of the students' abilities in learning English and also their expectations. The flexibility of the learning environment allows students to access the material anytime and anywhere. Most of the pedagogical activities dominated by lecturers and students are not allocated to activities that train their metacognitive skills.
21st CENTURY SKILLS
Learning skills
Critical Thinking: When learning critical thinking skills, you should also integrate decision-making activities. Communication: Help your students convey messages using different modes and different channels.
Literacy skills
Life skills
We must consider the resources used in educating 21st century students as well. Our mission is to understand the impact and potential of 21st century skills for every student today. Teachers and schools should prioritize 21st century skills as major objectives in teaching.
So we need to integrate new techniques bit by bit to acquire the 21st century skills. Integrating the 6Cs of 21st century education into the English lesson and the school literacy movement in secondary schools.

PRINTED BOOKS VERSUS E-BOOKS IN LEARNING
Printed Books and E-books
Even so, the majority of the participants interviewed in the second phase of the study claimed that reading an e-book was something new for them. Well-functioning habits and personal interest in the product are the reasons why e-books are sold. The main barriers to the sale of e-books are: the price, which can be seen not only in the bookseller's response, but also in the decrease in sales, which is obviously related to the price increase in 2014, the lack of interest from consumers, who do not ask about e -books in bookstores.
The paper focuses on the problems related to the preservation and archiving of published author's works in the digital world for the purpose of their long-term accessibility. Today, the use of information technologies in the creation, distribution and access to information resources is a necessity. Some participants may have found usability issues, such as no copy and paste options, etc.; however, most of them expected to use e-books in the future if the features and characteristics of e-books are the same as this book (Oyaid and Alshaya: 2019).
Blended Learning
The instructor may no longer be an omniscient and omnipresent figure, but even his ideal presence has changed for the better. But blended learning still requires a very thorough assimilation of different approaches, because freedom still brings more responsibility (Nuruzzaman: 2016). In EFL settings, blended learning can be used as an effective way to teach English grammar.
It is hoped that these findings will help to improve the skills required for blended learning for the university, faculty and students (Bader et. The method of spiritual guidance becomes more versatile, productive and effective with blended learning to improve students ( Vasantan) : 2016. Blended learning is in its early stages, especially in developing countries, and not without its challenges.

Content: enabling progress in the knowledge, skills and understanding of the specific issues of a particular curriculum. Lindhal (2017) stated that the vast majority of communication in English that takes place around the world only involves an L1 speaker of English about 25% of the time. The interest of the student is the main concern of the modern way of education.
Plays, dialogues, recitation competitions, debates and vocabulary test competition stimulate students' interest in language learning. They must use their language skills to negotiate, cooperate and build friendships in order to escape a forgotten planet at the edge of the universe. Students are trained in using learning strategies to improve their learning effectiveness.
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIGITAL LITERACY IN EFL CLASSROOM
ACTIVITIES
P. Harianah Zaidah
- Digital literacy sources: Computers and smartphones Using computers in language teaching is supported by Simpson
- Teachers’ attitudes towards digital literacy
- Benefits of Digital Literacy
In the implementation of digital literacy-based instruction, researchers have designed several stages of implementation in order to optimally achieve the ultimate goal of teaching English. First, teachers should understand digital literacy and the importance of digital literacy to be taught. Second, teachers' understanding of digital literacy can inform the way they present digital literacy in the classroom.
Reach out to teachers early in the process to find out what they need to teach digital literacy. In addition, the use of digital skills is believed to be able to provide creative, innovative and modern learning innovations.
