Abstract

This study investigates students’ perceptions of learning to speak English through TikTok, focusing on its advantages, disadvantages, and challenges as a digital learning medium. The research was conducted at State Senior High School 14 Depok, where 90% of students actively use TikTok for social interaction, study, and other purposes. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected from 50 10th- and 11th-grade students through questionnaires, documentation, and observation. Data were analyzed systematically through stages of collection, reduction, presentation, verification, interpretation, and conclusion to identify themes, patterns, and relationships. Findings indicate that TikTok offers notable benefits for speaking practice, such as accessibility, creativity, and engagement, but also presents limitations, including distractions, superficial content, and uneven quality of language input. Despite these challenges, TikTok retains strong potential as a supplementary tool in English language teaching. The study underscores the importance of enhancing teacher competencies to integrate digital platforms effectively and adapting to technological trends in education. It also suggests extending future research to other English skills, involving a broader range of schools, including vocational institutions, to account for different student profiles.

Abstract

This study investigates prohibitive speech acts and politeness strategies in Indonesian–English bilingual signage used in the LRT Jabodebek system from a pragmatic perspective. Prohibition signs in public transportation function not only as informational messages but also as regulatory tools that shape passenger behavior in order to maintain safety, order, and comfort. Adopting a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, the data consist of written prohibition signs collected from stations, train carriages, and supporting facilities through documentation techniques. The analysis is based on Speech Act Theory (Austin, 1962; Searle, 1975), the concepts of directness and indirectness (Blum-Kulka, House, & Kasper, 1989), and Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory. The findings show that prohibitive speech acts are realized through various linguistic forms, ranging from highly direct imperatives to more impersonal declarative constructions. Safety-related prohibitions tend to employ stronger illocutionary force, whereas comfort-related prohibitions incorporate politeness strategies as a form of mitigation. The use of bilingual signage also enhances clarity and accessibility for diverse passengers, supporting more effective public communication in multilingual transportation settings.
