Abstract

This study aims to examine the use of TikTok as a tool of edutainment for English language acquisition among secondary school students. The research focuses on how TikTok enhances vocabulary development and improves students’ fluency in English. Using a qualitative survey method, data were gathered from 20 secondary school students through an online questionnaire. The result shows that students perceive TikTok as an effective medium for learning English, particularly in terms of expanding their vocabulary and improving their confidence in using the language. The findings suggest that TikTok’s visual and interactive content can motivate students to engage more actively in language learning. This study concludes that TikTok, when used thoughtfully, can be a valuable resource for language education, providing recommendations for educators and content creators to develop more engaging and educational material on the platform.

Abstract

This study conducts a semiotic analysis of the signs embedded in Tingkuluak Koto Gadang, a traditional headpiece worn by Minangkabau women in Indonesia. Employing Charles Sanders Peirce's triadic model of semiotics, the research examines how motifs, colors, and ornaments function as signs to convey cultural meanings. The qualitative case study approach involved direct observation, visual documentation, and interviews with cultural experts to identify and interpret the semiotic elements in Tingkuluak Koto Gadang. The analysis revealed ten signs categorized into six types: Sinsign, Legisign, Icon, Index, Symbol, and Decisign. Among these, Icon and Decisign were the most dominant, with three occurrences each. For instance, the color red and gold serve as Icons, symbolizing courage and prosperity, while floral motifs like Bunga and Akar Daun function as Decisigns, representing harmony and resilience. Other signs, such as the Padi motif (Symbol) and Rumbai Kotak (Index), reflect agricultural heritage and structured societal values, respectively. The findings underscore that Tingkuluak Koto Gadang is not merely decorative but a rich semiotic system encoding Minangkabau identity, social norms, and philosophical values. However, the study highlights a growing disconnect among younger generations, who increasingly perceive these garments as aesthetic rather than symbolic. This research contributes to cultural preservation by decoding the hidden meanings of traditional attire, emphasizing the need for educational initiatives to sustain this intangible heritage. It also demonstrates the efficacy of Peirce’s semiotic framework in analyzing non-verbal cultural texts, offering a model for future studies on traditional clothing and material culture

Abstract

Slick Write has emerged as a potential solution for improving writing teaching via real-time feedback and automated evaluation. Although current studies have investigated Slick Write's efficacy in facilitating writing tasks, there is a paucity of research on its incorporation within a systematic, pedagogically robust writing instruction framework. This study seeks to assess the efficacy of integrating Slick Write into a holistic writing teaching framework and its influence on enhancing students' academic writing abilities. This study utilized a descriptive research methodology and involved 20 junior high school students from grades 7 to 9 at a private institution in Medan, Indonesia. Writing assessments were conducted before and during the adoption of the Slick Write-integrated approach. The written outputs of students were evaluated utilizing the diagnostic elements of Slick Write, which included an analysis of pronouns, adverbs, function words, sentence and paragraph lengths, passive voice metrics, and prepositional phrase indices. The data were evaluated descriptively to identify patterns of improvement and trends in student performance. The results indicate that Slick Write substantially aids students in the writing process by facilitating the generation, organization, and refinement of their ideas with more independence. The students demonstrated enhanced understanding of linguistic mechanics and word choice. This study introduces a unique Slick Write-integrated educational framework that enhances autonomous learning while complementing instructor feedback. These findings drive home the importance of integrating technological tools such as Slick Write into writing pedagogy to improve writing outcomes and foster learner-centered instruction in higher education.
