Furthermore, this study also explained the concept of learning critical discourse analysis by utilizing modality elements in @Tirto.id Instagram content. The research uses qualitative descriptive techniques by applying analytical descriptions to research data. In addition, this study uses reflective conceptual techniques to elaborate on the learning concept of critical discourse analysis by utilizing modality elements in @Tirto.id Instagram content.
