Abstract

Indonesian language proficiency is an important component of academic communication in higher education; however, differences in students’ abilities to use the language effectively in academic contexts are still frequently observed. One factor that is considered to influence students’ language competence is learning motivation, which encourages active engagement in the learning process. This study aims to analyze the relationship between learning motivation and Indonesian language proficiency among students at the Syekh Abdul Halim Hasan Institute, Binjai. The research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. A total of 30 students were selected as research participants using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through a learning motivation questionnaire and an Indonesian language proficiency test covering listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. The data were analyzed using the Pearson Product–Moment correlation with the support of SPSS software. The descriptive results show that students have a relatively high level of learning motivation with a mean score of 79.80, while the mean score of Indonesian language proficiency reached 82.13, indicating good language competence. The correlation analysis revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between learning motivation and Indonesian language proficiency (r = 0.621; p < 0.05). In addition, the analysis indicates that learning motivation contributes 38.6% to the variation in students’ language proficiency. These findings suggest that improving students’ learning motivation may support the development of their Indonesian language skills in academic settings.

Abstract

The rapid development of information and communication technology has significantly influenced children’s language acquisition, particularly through digital platforms such as YouTube. This study aims to analyze the acquisition of noun vocabulary in elementary school children resulting from exposure to gamer videos on YouTube from a psycholinguistic perspective. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method involving five children who frequently watched gaming content on YouTube. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, recording techniques, and note-taking methods, while analysis was conducted using matching and distributional methods based on Chomsky’s cognitive theory and psycholinguistic approaches. The findings revealed that children experienced notable improvement in noun vocabulary acquisition, especially concrete and abstract nouns related to games, characters, objects, and virtual environments. The children actively applied the newly acquired vocabulary in daily conversations and social interactions, demonstrating meaningful contextual understanding. Gamer videos provided rich visual and verbal stimuli that facilitated children’s comprehension and retention of vocabulary. Furthermore, parental responses indicated that digital media could positively support language development when accompanied by appropriate supervision. This study concludes that YouTube gamer videos contribute significantly to children’s noun vocabulary acquisition and function as an alternative medium for language learning in the digital era.
