Abstract

The increasing use of social media has influenced how children communicate in everyday interactions. Among Generation Alpha, TikTok has become a common space where new slang expressions are encountered, repeated, and adapted into daily speech. This study examines the types of slang used by Generation Alpha on TikTok and explores their perceptions toward the use of slang on the platform. Using a qualitative sociolinguistic approach, this study involved four participants aged 7 to 11 years. The data were collected through interviews based on two TikTok videos uploaded by the same account, @kikisherly, which contain several Gen Alpha slang expressions. The interview data were analyzed through thematic coding and linguistic categorization to identify patterns of slang usage and perception. The findings show that Generation Alpha frequently uses internet-based slang such as sigma, mewing, and ayo bet, which are mainly acquired through imitation and informal language practices. The participants generally view slang as enjoyable and socially meaningful, although their understanding of the original meanings varies. These findings suggest that exposure to TikTok content shapes how slang is recognized and used by Generation Alpha in both online and offline contexts.

Abstract

This community service activity was conducted to improve the English writing skills of Grade VII students at SMP IT Cendekia Pematangsiantar, particularly in sentence structure and vocabulary. The main objective was to enhance students’ writing ability through the use of ProWritingAid as a creative and interactive technology-based tool. The methods used included socialization, a short training session, and hands-on practice during a one-day activity involving 15 student participants. The activity was carried out actively and interactively, with direct guidance as students explored key features of the application. ProWritingAid proved useful through its grammar correction, sentence structure analysis, and writing style support. Some challenges were encountered, such as limited internet quota and restricted access to premium features. However, students showed improvement in constructing more coherent and grammatically correct English paragraphs. They also became more confident and motivated to write. This program demonstrated that the use of interactive digital media can effectively support the development of writing skills among junior high school students.
