Introduction
In the 21st century, the term "technology" is an important issue in many areas including education. This is because technology has become a highway of knowledge transfer in most countries. Today's technological integration has been through innovation and transforming our society that has completely changed the way people think, work, and live (Grabe, 2007). As part of this, schools and other educational institutions that are supposed to prepare students for life in the "knowledge community" need to consider the integration of ICT in their curriculum (Ghavifekr, Afshari &amp;Amla Salleh, 2012). elements and components (Jamieson-Procter et al., 2013). It is true to say that almost all subject ranges ranging from mathematics, science, language, arts and humanists and other key fields can be learned more effectively through technology-based tools and tools. In addition, ICT provides complementary assistance and support for teachers and students where it involves effective computer-aided learning to serve the purpose of learning assistance (Jorge et al., 2003). Computers and technology do not act as substitute tools for qualified teachers but instead they are considered an additional supplement necessary for better teaching and learning. The need for ict integration in education is very important, because with the help of technology, teaching and learning not only occurs in the school environment, but can also occur even if teachers and students are physically at a distance. However, ICT integration is not a one-step learning process, but an ongoing learning process that provides a proactive teaching and learning environment (Young, 2003).
ICT can be used in a variety of ways where it helps teachers and students to learn about their respective subject areas. Technology-based teaching and learning offers a variety of interesting ways that include educational video, stimulation, data storage, database usage, mind mapping, guided discovery, brainstorming, music, the World Wide Web (www) that will make the learning process more satisfying and meaningful. On the other hand, students will benefit from ICT integration where they are not tied to a limited curriculum and resources, instead direct activities in technology-based courses designed to help them stimulate their understanding of the subject. It also helps teachers to design their lesson plans in an effective, creative, and attractive approach that will result in active student learning.
In the current situation, teachers prefer to participate in making their learning media use technology. Some researchers (Hernandez, 2017;Wiyaka, Mujiyanto, & Rukmini, 2018) showed that technology is the most important thing in language learning media because the use of technology can increase students' motivation. They are equipped with digital age literacy, inventive thinking, high-level thinking and sound reasoning, effective communication and high productivity (Tinio, 2002). Students need them to develop their language skills. One of the controversial issues in foreign language teaching is the level of use of technology required in writing classes, including media formats.
Media formats, the physical form in which content is inserted and displayed, facilitate the learning process. Visual media is a type of media used for language learning. It can be diagrams on computer screens, whiteboard drawings, photos, book graphics, cartoons, etc. (Smaldino, Lowther, Mims, &amp;Russell, 2015). This media provides a learning experience that is consistent with the character of the student as a digital native. Visual media also supports the creation of EFL students, expressing themselves to communicate with others.
Canva, a website graphic design tool, is a visual technology medium with a drag-and-drop format and provides access to over a million photos, graphics, and fonts. It has millions of images, photo filters, icons and free shapes, and hundreds of fonts (Canva, n.d.). Canva as a website is a source of visual media that can be used as a window into the wider world outside of language classes and, of course, a collection of authentic materials that are easily accessible.
Canva can be integrated to promote learning. Smaldino et al., (2015) states that visuals in the classroom, including Canva, can serve several purposes, such as; 1) to create concrete abstract ideas; 2) to motivate students; 3) to give direct attention; 4) to repeat the information; 5) to remember prior knowledge; and 6) to make learning effective. Canva is believed to be a tool to move in just a few clicks from abstract ideas to concrete sitemaps. In addition, it can create a positive learning environment through the facilities provided, thereby affecting students' concentration, memory, and attitudes. If students feel positive about their situation, they will also feel more positive about what they are doing and will be more willing to participate through direct attention in the learning process. Therefore, teachers are working on several ways to create technology-based learning media to achieve these learning goals. Canva provides features that teachers can use in creating learning media Smaldino et al., (2015).
Therefore, the study intends to find out the perception of English teachers in the use of canva application as a virtual learning media creation in Loei Thailand.

Utilization of CANVA application as substitution
Based on the results of the study, researchers found the perspective of English teachers in the use of canva application as a virtual learning media creation in Loei Thailand. Results show most of them believe that canva applications can be used as a learning medium. This is in line with a statement from Smaldino et al., (2015). Canva provides features that teachers can use in creating learning media. So this research also supports smaldino's statement that canva application is used to create learning media.
Canva can be integrated to promote learning. Smaldino et al., (2015) states that visuals in the classroom, including Canva, can serve several purposes, such as; 1) to create concrete abstract ideas; 2) to motivate students; 3) to give direct attention; 4) to repeat the information; 5) to remember prior knowledge; and 6) to make learning effective. This study obtained different results from the statement. Because the focus in research is different. This research focuses more on one function of canfa, namely as a maker of defense media while Smaldino canva statements for learning in the classroom.
The result in this research is the function and benefit of canva divided into two, namely as sumplemen and subtitusi. The supplement function of canva is (1) Canva fasilitated teacher to make learning media, (2) Canva Application Improve online teaching process. The substitution function of canva is (1) Canva Application Improves learning media effectively, (2) Learning media of Canva is easy to distribute to students (3) Canva application can help the technology requirement. That is, the function of Canva obtained in this study. Contrary to the results of this study with some theories that already are that this study found if the interest of teachers in using Canva as a learning design is in a very low percentage. The interest rate is only 10%, this is due to the large number of applications that provide the same facilities and easy to use. Currently, the learning media created by teachers must be practical and not burdensome for all circles. While Canva is a high class application so that only certain people and teachers can practice it.
Infers Online Learning requires teachers to think creatively and innovatively to attract students. Learning media becomes the main factor in helping teachers make it happen. There are many tools to create technology-based learning media, one of which is the Canva application. This research has proven that canva application can be used to create learning media. The result in this research is the function and benefit of canva divided into two, namely as sumplemen and subtitusi. The supplement function of canva is (1) Canva fasilitated teacher to make learning media, (2) Canva Application Improve online teaching process. The substitution function of canva is (1) Canva Application Improves learning media effectively, (2) Learning media of Canva is easy to distribute to students (3) Canva application can help the technology requirement. That is, the function of Canva obtained in this study.
The results of canva's knowledge are very different from their interest in using it. they believe that canva applications are well used for those functions. however, they are not interested in using it. so it can be concluded that this application is very useful and helpful for some people who really master the technology. While it is difficult to reach for teachers who are lay about technology that only knows power points and the web without paying.
