Abstract

Since its emergence, TikTok has expanded as a social media platform by facilitating the spread of educational content, particularly English language learning, which has become increasingly attractive to students in Indonesia. This study explores students' perceptions of TikTok's effectiveness in enhancing English proficiency. By focusing on emotional experiences and practical usage, it fills a gap in the literature and provides a deeper understanding of TikTok’s educational impact. A qualitative approach involving 70 social media-active students was employed. Data were gathered through questionnaires and interviews, assessing social media use and perceived platform effectiveness. Results showed a strong preference for TikTok as a supplementary English learning tool due to its accessibility and engaging content. However, issues like internet connectivity and privacy concerns were noted. In conclusion, TikTok has potential as a resource for language practice and skill improvement, suggesting the need to integrate social media into educational strategies for more interactive learning environments.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to find out reasons behind common misinterpretation of textual entailment among students in educational settings, focusing particularly on how basic textual concepts impact students' ability to comprehend and analyze texts accurately. The study was carried out at SMA Alam Lampung using twelfth-grade students as participants. It used a qualitative research design and employed saturation sampling procedures to choose its sample. This study aims to explore students' understanding and interpretation skills regarding textual entailment by using questionnaires and interviews as the main data gathering techniques. The results show a significant difference in students' ability to correctly grasp texts and hypotheses, indicating a common misinterpretation of textual entailment principles. Out of 60 replies gathered from 10 questions answered by 6 students each, only 4 solutions adhered to the rules of textual entailment. The other 56 responses showed a misunderstanding of the connection between Text and Hypotheses. The research explores the psycholinguistic and cognitive processes that lead to misconceptions, highlighting the importance of lexical access and comprehending complicated sentence patterns in making valid inferences from texts. It also recognizes the significance of prior knowledge in aiding text understanding and analysis. These results imply that successful educational approaches should go beyond just improving linguistic abilities. They should use tactics designed to help pupils overcome psycholinguistic and cognitive obstacles, so improving their interpretive skills. This study suggests a thorough educational method that combines language skills enhancement with specific tactics to address the psycholinguistic and cognitive barriers affecting students' understanding and interpretation of texts.
