Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology presents new challenges for Vocational High School (SMK) students, particularly concerning digital literacy and online conduct. To address this, lecturers from Prodi Tadris Bahasa Inggris (TBIG) at KH Mukhtar Syafaat University (UIMSYA) conducted a community service program aimed at enhancing SMK Al Munawwir students' understanding of digital literacy and instilling social media etiquette. Through an educational approach that included training, interactive discussions, and simulations of social media use, students gained insight into online interaction ethics, critical thinking about digital information, and wise technology utilization. The activity successfully demonstrated an increase in students' digital literacy understanding and their awareness of maintaining communication ethics on social media. This program contributes significantly to fostering a generation that is not only technologically literate but also possesses strong moral values in digital interactions.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the controversy of online learning in English language education, highlighting its impact on accessibility, student engagement, and communication skills development. The focus of the study is on an in-depth analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of online learning at Mukhtar Syafaat, an educational institution that has implemented this method intensively post-pandemic. The research method uses a mixed approach with interviews, observations, and documentation, which aims to obtain qualitative and quantitative data that support a more comprehensive understanding. The results of the study indicate that online learning provides flexibility and ease of access, but faces significant challenges in increasing student engagement and social interaction. The lack of interactive pedagogical design and minimal support for collaborative technology are the main causes of dysfunction in several aspects of learning. However, with better technology integration and a collaborative approach, online learning has great potential to support inclusive and adaptive education. The contribution of this study is to provide a new perspective in the development of more effective online learning methods, especially for English language education. This study is also an important reference for educators, policy makers, and technology developers in creating online learning systems that support the development of language skills holistically.

Abstract

This study explores the role of TikTok in shaping English vocabulary skills in Generation Z students at SMK Nusantara Bangorejo. The development of digital technology, especially social media platforms such as TikTok, has created a significant informal learning space for the digital native generation. The research aims to identify patterns of consumption of English-language content, analyze the types of vocabulary acquired, evaluate the effectiveness of TikTok as a learning resource, and develop a conceptual framework for its integration in formal learning. Using a qualitative approach, the data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 20 students and one English teacher, as well as indirect observation of student activity on TikTok. The results of the study showed that 75% of participants experienced an increase in English vocabulary after accessing TikTok regularly, with a preference for song, vlog, and game-based educational materials. The platform facilitates the acquisition of contemporary and informal vocabulary that is rarely encountered in formal curricula through incidental learning. Key challenges include the gap between passive recognition and active production of vocabulary, as well as potential addiction. It is concluded that TikTok has the potential to be an effective pedagogical tool when it is integrated in a structured manner with digital literacy in mind, through a conceptual framework that includes a social media responsive curriculum, authentic content-based pedagogy, informal learning assessments, and digital literacy development.
