Abstract

In the digital era, digital platforms have significantly transformed the learning landscape, particularly for Generation Z, including those within the Pesantren sphere, a generation that has grown alongside digital technology despite years of boarding school life. Among these platforms, TikTok stands out as one of the most influential, especially in shaping language acquisition by introducing new vocabulary, idioms, and grammatical structures, thereby impacting the evolution of English. This study examines English-language TikTok content, focusing on the widely used For You Page (FYP) tag, to explore its influence on both language trends and learners. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research highlights Gen Z users' experiences through open-ended questionnaires and interviews, while thematic analysis is applied to interpret their stories. The findings reveal that TikTok contributes to noticeable changes in English, particularly in vocabulary and structures. Moreover, this study provides insights into how future generations may adapt to these linguistic shifts through this research of TikTok’s perceived impact on language learning.

Abstract

Code-switching is a common practice in bilingual classrooms. However, its role in virtual English Language Teaching (ELT) and how students perceive it remain under-explored. This study explores how English teachers use code-switching in virtual English Language Teaching (ELT) classrooms, focusing on its functions and how students perceive it. A mixed methods approach was employed, with the research conducted in two phases. In the quantitative phase, a Likert-scale questionnaire was given to 11 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) graduate students to establish their general attitudes towards code-switching. The qualitative phase involved conducting semi-structured interviews with five participants to gain deeper insights into their beliefs and experiences. The findings suggest that students generally approve of code-switching, considering it to be helpful for comprehension and communication without significantly hindering English acquisition. This suggests that, when used strategically, code-switching can enhance the effectiveness of virtual classrooms. The study highlights the importance of integrating statistical and thematic data to gain a comprehensive understanding of student perspectives in bilingual learning environments.
