Abstract

This study investigates digital literacy and digital competency in using LMS among KKU students studying English as an intensive English course. The study is based on using nexus analysis. This study adopts a descriptive-analytical method, and the main instrument used for collecting data is a questionnaire for teachers to investigate how students can use LMS to do their homework and activities related to Unlock textbooks. The study's findings have revealed that most students use LMS professionally but feel bored because of lengthy tasks, exercises and activities which consume a long time. In addition, most of the activities, tasks and exercises do not match the textbook unit contents. The study recommends that Cambridge LMS should be loaded with tasks, exercises and activities matching the unit content, and they should not be lengthy.
