- Abstract
This study investigates three issues: 1) English students' levels of Internet addiction, 2) the types and intensity of use of digital support in writing, and 3) the correlation between Internet addiction and digital support in writing. A total of sixty third-year English students from a private university in Malang, Indonesia, participated in this study. They responded to a Survey of Internet addiction and Self-regulated Learning with Technology at the University (SRLTU) comprising ten items. The results of the descriptive statistics analysis depict that the students are highly addicted to the Internet. Despite their high addiction to the Internet, it is unveiled that students use digital support at a moderate level. The Internet, assessment, and communication tools are the digital support students frequently use in writing. The last analysis reveals that Internet addiction and the use of digital support are not significantly correlated, meaning that students' Internet addiction does not affect their use of digital support in learning writing. The pedagogical implications of this study are presented in the last session.
