Abstract

As social media became increasingly integrated into daily life, its potential as a learning tool warrants examination. This study explored the perceptions of students regarding the use of social media in learning English at SMK Negeri 7 Palembang. Employing a descriptive quantitative research method, the study involved 100 students of eleventh grade, selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS 24. The results reveal that Instagram (97%), YouTube (80%), and TikTok (71%) are the most frequently utilized platforms for English learning due to their engaging content and accessibility. On the positive side, most students found social media engaging, flexible, and helpful in terms of vocabulary, pronunciation, listening skills, and building confidence. The challenges were grammar learning, motivation to do tasks, anxiety reduction, and time management were areas where social media was less effective. These findings underscored the importance of integrating social media effectively into educational practices to maximize its benefits and address its limitations.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the moral values shown in two Marvel Cinematic Universe films: The Avengers (2012) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). The study uses a qualitative descriptive method and content analysis to identify important moral messages in the characters’ actions, dialogues, and storylines. The results show that both films highlight key moral values such as teamwork, responsibility, selflessness, personal growth, and ethical decision-making. The Avengers often work together to solve problems, showing the value of collaboration. The theme of responsibility is seen in how their actions, especially the creation of Ultron, lead to serious consequences.

Abstract

This study investigates the teaching of speaking at SMP Negeri 1 Muara Sugihan. The research aims to describe the methods and strategies used by English teachers, the implementation of speaking activities, the materials used in teaching, and the types of speaking assessments applied in the classroom. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method. The data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and questionnaires conducted with English teachers and students. The collected data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing following Miles and Huberman’s model to ensure transparency of analysis. The findings reveal that the teachers mainly used the Discovery Learning method supported by Drilling, Dialogue Practice, Storytelling, and Presentation activities. For instance, in the “Storytelling” activity, students retold short stories learned from the textbook, while in “Presentation,” they described their daily routines using PowerPoint slides. These approaches effectively encouraged students’ active participation in speaking practice. However, students’ low confidence and limited vocabulary often hindered their performance. In terms of teaching materials, teachers relied on English textbooks, worksheets, and online resources, although the use of digital media remained minimal due to limited school facilities. Furthermore, students’ speaking assessments were conducted through oral tests and classroom presentations, yet the absence of structured rubrics caused inconsistencies in evaluation. This study contributes to understanding how speaking instruction is practiced in rural secondary schools, emphasizing the need for improved motivation strategies and more systematic assessment tools to enhance students’ speaking competence.
