The gap between digital immigrant teachers and di-qital native
students is inevitable. Prohibition o1-using gadgets
in the classroom resulted in decreasing students' enthusiasm
and participation in classroom activities. Therefore, this research
was carried out. It',rvas based on the difficulty that the researcher as a
teacher faced in engaging student to reach the targeted outcomes.
LINE application was choosen for this investigation since it is
applic,gble for smartphones and tablet computers as well as personal computers.
The said application is also considered as one of the most frequent
social network messengers used by these teenagers students in communicating with
each other and it enabled the teacher to fit into students'place.
Observation of l7 students has revealed that incorporating
LINE was increasing not only the engagement of the students toward learning,
but also their language skills.
This is because the real-life collaboration
existed among the students and the teacher. It was amazing
to see how these young digital natives thrived on technology mediated
by their gadgets.
Meanwhile, the digital immigrant teacher, hardly struggled rvith
adapting it. Although the lack of technology skills of the teacher sometimes slowed dorvn the
process of engagement, the teacher still managed to be in line with the students.
On the contrary, there was so much temptation in misusing the
gadgets for distracting purposes, which also turned out to be another problem to
come to grips with.
Despite those predicaments, employing LINE indeed rvorked well for engaging
'gadget-freak' High Intermediate students at LBPP LIA Pekanbaru.
