Abstract

This study aims at 1) scrutinizing Indonesian EFL learners’ perception on the use of internet in their learning process and 2) uncovering how long they spent their time with internet for academic and non-academic purposes. To obtain the required data, the adapted version of Shin & Son’s (2007) questionnaire was distributed to 100 Indonesian EFL college learners. The results indicate that most of the participants have positive perceptions and good responses toward the use of internet either in academic and non-academic purposes. They asserted that internet facilitated them with various types of information and stated that internet makes them easier to access varied and up to date information. However, they admitted that internet contributes to plagiarism practice among students and, due to the convenience offered by internet, it makes them addicted in internet use for information searching and in turn they pay less attention to the written resources. In relation to time they spent for internet use, most students reported that they used it very frequently for their academic purpose in which googling is their most favorable activity, but more surprisingly, they spent a greater time in going online for non-academic purposes, between 5 to 10 hours a day.
