TextPublication details: Mati, San Miguel, Zamboanga del Sur : School of Arts and Science, JH Cerilles State College, 2025.Description: ix, 71 leavesSummary: This study explores students' perceptions of internet emojis and abbreviations at J.H. Cerilles State College, examining differences by gender and year level. Findings indicate that students widely use emojis to enhance digital communication, conveying emotions and preventing misunderstandings. While abbreviations are valued for efficiency, students are more cautious about their use in formal settings. No significant gender differences were found, as both male and female students displayed similar familiarity and usage. However, significant variations emerged across year levels, with first-year students showing a higher perception of these digital tools compared to second-year students, and differences also noted between second-year and upper-year students. These findings suggest that familiarity with digital communication evolves with academic progression. The study highlights the need for digital literacy education tailored to students' varying levels of familiarity. Future research should explore the broader impact of digital language use in educational contexts.
Keywords: Digital communication, internet emojis, internet abbreviations, student perception, digital literacy.
