Abstract

This research aims to explore the perception of English language education students at Universitas Hamzanwadi regarding the utilization of TikTok as a tool for improving the speaking and listening skills. This study employed quantitative survey-based approach with 165 participants from the second to eighth semester. To collect the data, the researcher distributed Google Form which containing a total of 21 statements: ten assertions focused on students’ speaking skills and eleven statements focused on their listening skills. each statement was design to gauge students’ perceptions of TikTok as a tool for enhancing these language skills. The participants responded the statements by the Likert scale; strongly agree, agree, disagree, and strongly disagree. The data analysis involved calculating the frequency and percentage of responses for each statement to determine overall trends in perceptions. The findings reveal that students perceive TikTok as an engaging platform for enhancing speaking skills, facilitating pronunciation and intonation learning, boosting confidence, motivating regular practice, expanding vocabulary, exposing them to various accents, and aiding fluency development. Moreover, TikTok was seen as beneficial for improving listening skills, particularly in understanding different accents, comprehending content at various speeds, offering diverse and engaging content, motivating practice, and enhancing overall listening proficiency. TikTok has shown potential as a valuable supplementary tool for language learning; however, its integration into formal educational settings requires further investigation. It may be beneficial to explore specific strategies for incorporating TikTok into curricula, such as using it for vocabulary building, cultural exposure, or student-generated content to enhance engagement.

Abstract

  The rapid integration of digital technologies in vocational education demands highly specialized linguistic competencies, particularly for engineering students navigating complex instructional manuals and software interfaces. This qualitative study explores the specific English language barriers encountered by vocational learners and investigates their target needs for instructional media development. Framed within the English for Specific Purposes paradigm, the research involved 31 students in the 11th grade of the Industrial Electronics Engineering program at SMK Negeri 3 Selong, Indonesia. Data were gathered through open ended needs analysis questionnaires and subsequently processed using an interactive qualitative analysis model encompassing data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal a multifaceted language barrier where students simultaneously struggle with digital software interfaces, printed instructional manuals, and the physical identification of hardware components. Furthermore, the analysis indicates a strong student demand for a highly contextualized, multimodal learning approach. The participants explicitly requested instructional videos that synchronize authentic visual demonstrations of Internet of Things module assembly with clear bilingual text overlays to mitigate cognitive overload. This study concludes that general English instruction is fundamentally inadequate for vocational contexts, emphasizing the urgent necessity for tailored multimedia interventions to enhance technical vocabulary mastery.
