This research used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection methods using questionnaires and observations. The sample in this study was Generation Z students studying English. Data analysis was conducted using a thematic approach to identify patterns of social media use and innovations emerging in the learning process.

Social media also opens up opportunities for more flexible collaborative and self-taught learning. The study's conclusions confirm that social media can be optimized as an effective learning tool for Generation Z in facing the challenges of the digital era. The active role of teachers and educators remains crucial in guiding, directing, and developing critical and responsible learning characteristics.

Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in teaching writing at an Islamic and science-based senior high school in East Jakarta. The research was conducted to understand how students viewed PjBL as an alternative method that could make writing more engaging and meaningful. A qualitative approach was used with six tenth-grade students selected based on different English proficiency levels. The data were collected through classroom observation, interviews, and supporting documents such as lesson plans and students’ writing projects. The findings showed that students generally had positive perceptions toward the use of PjBL in writing. They stated that this method made them feel more motivated and confident in expressing their ideas. Working in groups helped them share opinions, discuss topics, and improve their vocabulary and grammar through peer feedback. The opportunity to choose their own topic also made writing feel more enjoyable and personal. However, some students faced challenges in group work, such as unequal contribution and time management. Despite these challenges, they agreed that the teacher’s guidance and feedback were helpful during the process. In conclusion, PjBL created a more active, collaborative, and supportive writing environment that encouraged students to be more involved and independent in learning. It contributes to the growing body of literature by offering student-centered insights into how PjBL enhances writing experiences in Indonesian EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a narrative text with mystery elements as a reading instructional material for Grade 10 students and to examine student responses toward the developed material. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach adapted from the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The research was motivated by the limited availability of engaging reading materials that align with the interests and learning needs of Grade 10 senior high school students. The narrative text was developed based on genre-based theory and materials development principles, incorporating mystery elements such as tension-building conflicts, unexpected events, and clues scattered throughout the storyline. A total of 37 Grade 10 students at a senior high school in Indonesia participated as research subjects. Data were collected through expert validation sheets and student response questionnaires. The results indicated that the developed narrative text was declared valid and appropriate by a language expert (87.5%) and a materials development expert (85.0%). Furthermore, students demonstrated highly positive responses with a mean questionnaire score of 82.3%, indicating that the text was engaging, comprehensible, and motivating. The study concludes that a narrative text with mystery elements can serve as an effective and engaging reading instructional material for Grade 10 senior high school students.
