Abstract

The use of technology in English language learning has significantly increased, including the adoption of Canva as a graphic design tool to create educational media. However, few studies had specifically explored EFL students’ perceptions of Canva, particularly in the context of designing learning materials. This study was considered important as it provided insights into how Canva supported student motivation, engagement, and creativity in language learning. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method and involved in-depth interviews with three sixth-semester students majoring in English Education. The findings revealed that students held positive perceptions of Canva due to its user-friendly interface, attractive visual features, and the freedom to customize designs based on their personal preferences. On the other hand, several challenges were also identified, such as limitations of the free version, unstable internet connectivity, and lack of guidance from instructors. These findings indicated that while Canva had the potential to enhance learning engagement and creativity, institutional support through training and premium access was essential for its effective implementation. Therefore, this study recommended a more strategic integration of Canva into EFL curricula to optimize its educational benefits.
