Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the coastal students’ perspective on digital reading comprehension. The study was conducted at Universitas Maritim Raja Ali Haji in the department of English Education in 2021. A descriptive quantitative method using questionnaires was applied to collect data from 70 second-semester students who participated in this exercise. The data collected was analyzed quantitatively using the Rasch model called Winsteps version 3.73 software. The results revealed that most coastal students had a good perception of digital reading comprehension. Furthermore, they believed digital reading greatly improved their reading comprehension than traditional methods.
