This study explores the perceptions of students in the English Education Study Program at Sriwijaya University regarding the use of the Medium application to promote reading interest. It also aims to identify the specific benefits offered by Medium in fostering students’ engagement with English reading materials. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving 50 students from various semesters (2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th). Data were collected through a close-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with five selected students. Questionnaire responses were analysed using percentage analysis, while interview data were interpreted through thematical analysis. Methodological triangulation was applied to enhance the validity of the findings. The result indicated that students held positive perceptions of using Medium. They considered it an accessible, user-friendly platform that aligned with their personal reading interests, contributing to more frequent and consistent reading habits. Students also recognized its role in enhancing language development, including vocabulary enrichment, reading comprehension, and exposure to diverse writing styles. Key features such as bookmarking tools, reading time estimations, and categorized topics were found to significantly support reading motivation and sustained interest. These findings highlight the potential of integrating digital reading platforms like Medium into English language education to support both linguistic competence and independent learning Keywords: Digital reading platform, Medium, Perceptions, Reading interest
