Penggunaan materi berbahasa Inggris dalam pembelajaran sains semakin meningkat seiring dengan berkembangnya pembelajaran daring, khususnya pada bidang kimia. Mahasiswa memiliki akses yang luas terhadap berbagai sumber digital berbahasa Inggris, namun belum banyak penelitian yang mengkaji bagaimana mereka memanfaatkan sumber tersebut serta kendala yang dihadapi dalam penggunaannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemanfaatan sumber belajar daring berbahasa Inggris oleh mahasiswa kimia dan mengidentifikasi hambatan yang mereka alami dalam proses pembelajaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode campuran yang mengintegrasikan analisis kuantitatif deskriptif dan analisis kualitatif tematik. Data dikumpulkan melalui survei yang memuat pertanyaan mengenai kebiasaan belajar, jenis sumber yang digunakan, serta tantangan yang dihadapi mahasiswa. Data kemudian dianalisis untuk mengidentifikasi pola penggunaan dan permasalahan yang dominan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa secara rutin memanfaatkan situs akademik, jurnal digital, video pembelajaran, dan kamus daring untuk meningkatkan pemahaman konsep kimia dan memperkaya kosakata ilmiah. Sumber-sumber tersebut dinilai membantu dalam memperdalam materi dan mendukung proses belajar mandiri. Namun demikian, mahasiswa masih menghadapi sejumlah kendala, seperti kesulitan memahami istilah ilmiah, keterbatasan kemampuan bahasa Inggris, kesulitan menilai kredibilitas sumber daring, serta tantangan dalam mengintegrasikan informasi dari berbagai platform. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa sumber belajar daring berbahasa Inggris berkontribusi signifikan terhadap pembelajaran kimia, tetapi diperlukan pendampingan dan bimbingan yang memadai untuk meningkatkan literasi bahasa dan digital mahasiswa.References
