Limited attention has been given to the factors influencing students’ digital communication in online internationalization programs. The current study aimed to identify the factors influencing students digital communication in an online internationalization program: FIP (Fakultas Ilmu Pendidikan/Faculty of Education) English Camp. The study employed a quantitative exploratory research design. The study used a total sampling technique, including 45 students who met the criteria. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using exploratory factor analysis with IBM SPSS. The analysis results show two factors with eigenvalues greater than 1: 10.202 and 1.276, respectively. The findings revealed two main factors influencing students' digital communication in the FIP English Camp online internationalisation program: internal and external factors. Internal factors included the ability to receive, compose, and send messages, and motivation to listen to topics. External factors comprised: number of online devices, condition of online devices, internet network connection, topics relevance, topics interestingness, topics mastery by speakers, politeness of speakers’ appearance, speakers’ enthusiasm, ability of speakers to involve participants, allocation of presentation time, allocation of interaction time, start and end time of activities, length of time to start and end activities. These findings provide empirical evidence that both students’ individual competencies and external learning conditions play important roles in shaping effective digital communication during online internationalization activities. This study is limited by its relatively small sample size and the possibility that it did not include other relevant variables in the analysis. The study recommends expanding online internationalization programs and strengthening support for students enrolled in international classes.
