The COVID-19 pandemic has brought changes in the Indonesian language learning process. The obstacle experienced by students during the learning process is boredom. Indonesian teaches students to build the character of spoken and written language, either by using the media or directly. This study aims to facilitate students in online learning using media. This research was piloted on tenth-grade students of SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Prambanan. The study was conducted using Instagram as a Criteria Reference Assessment. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The results of this study are writing and reading exposition texts using Instagram social media with a total score of 2104, an average score of 84.1, the highest score of 96, and the lowest score of 78. Therefore, it can be said that the use of Instagram social media in learning to write and write reading the exposition text is appropriate. The Instagram application is proven to be effective and easy to use in conducting online learning.
