Abstract

The development of digital technology has significantly impacted English language education, with students increasingly turning to Informal Digital Learning of English (IDLE) through platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and mobile applications. This study aimed to investigate EFL students' IDLE practices and examine IDLE's role in enhancing their language skills and digital literacy in higher education. Employing a mixed-methods approach with a descriptive design, this study involved 43 undergraduate students from an English Language Education program at UIN Walisongo Semarang, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via an online questionnaire comprising 17 Likert-scale items and 3 open-ended questions and analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The findings showed that students were highly engaged in IDLE, particularly through bite-sized content on social media and YouTube. Moreover, IDLE significantly contributed to students' language skills, including vocabulary, listening, and speaking, as well as digital literacy skills such as confidence in navigating digital platforms and evaluating online information. This study highlighted IDLE as a meaningful bridge between informal and formal learning, fostering independent and digitally competent EFL learners.

Abstract

This study goes into the intricate web of social class dynamics depicted in the Indonesian novel "Laskar Pelangi" by Andrea Hirata. Set against the backdrop of Belitung, the narrative unfolds the lives of a group of students as they navigate the challenges of education and dreams. The primary aim of this research is to dissect the nuanced portrayal of social classes within the novel, examining how they shape characters' identities, opportunities, and interactions. To achieve a comprehensive understanding, a qualitative approach is employed, involving close textual analysis of key passages and character interactions. The analysis focuses on identifying and categorizing the various social classes represented in the novel, exploring the factors that contribute to their formation, and elucidating the implications of these class distinctions on character development and societal structures. Themes such as education, economic disparities, and cultural influences are scrutinized to unravel the intricate threads that weave the social tapestry of "Laskar Pelangi." This study concludes by synthesizing the findings, offering a nuanced understanding of how social class dynamics are intricately interwoven into the narrative fabric of "Laskar Pelangi." The novel serves as a microcosm reflecting broader societal structures in Indonesia, shedding light on the complexities and challenges faced by individuals from different social strata. This exploration contributes to the broader discourse on literature and social class, emphasizing the relevance of such analyses in understanding the cultural and societal nuances depicted in literary works.
