Enhancing Students' Reading Performance Through the Learn Social Platform: A Case Study of Krisnadwipayana University Students

Reading proficiency is essential for university students, especially in non-English-speaking countries where academic materials are often in English. This study examines the impact of the Learn Social platform on the reading performance of 60 undergraduate students at Krisnadwipayana University, Bekasi, Indonesia. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining pre-test and post-test scores, student surveys, and interviews. The results indicate that students’ average reading comprehension scores improved from 62.5 to 78.3 after using Learn Social for eight weeks (p < 0.001). Survey responses showed that 85% of students found the platform engaging, and 78% reported increased motivation. However, 30% faced challenges related to internet connectivity. These findings suggest that Learn Social is an effective tool for enhancing reading skills, though technical and accessibility challenges must be addressed.
