Abstract

This experimental study investigates the impact of Project Strategy on the argumentative writing skills of eighth-grade students. The study aims to (1) evaluate the students' writing proficiency using Project Strategy, (2) assess their skills without this strategy, and (3) determine if Project Strategy significantly enhances their writing ability. The population consists of 120 students, with a sample of 60 students selected randomly. Data were collected through essay tests, and a pretest confirmed the groups' homogeneity. The experimental group's mean pretest score was 63.00, while the control group's was 53.50. Post-treatment, the experimental group's mean score improved to 73.33, indicating a good proficiency level, compared to the control group's 63.67, which was deemed adequate. Hypothesis testing showed a significant effect (tcount = 5.110, ttable = 2.002), suggesting that Project Strategy positively influences students' writing abilities. Based on these findings, it is recommended that English teachers adopt innovative strategies to improve writing skills, emphasizing the importance of effective paragraph construction in English education.

Abstract

This study examines the role of English-language digital content on Instagram and TikTok in promoting Naruu Beach, Nias, as an emerging tourism destination. The rapid growth of visual-based social media has transformed destination marketing strategies, enabling lesser-known destinations to reach global audiences more effectively. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design supported by descriptive quantitative analysis, this study analyzes English-language promotional content published on Instagram and TikTok, focusing on content characteristics, storytelling strategies, visual presentation, and audience engagement metrics. Data were collected through systematic observation and documentation of relevant social media posts, including videos, captions, hashtags, and engagement indicators such as views, likes, comments, and shares. The findings indicate that the use of English as a global communication medium enhances international accessibility and destination visibility. Instagram content primarily contributes to destination image formation through visual aesthetics, while TikTok demonstrates stronger potential in expanding reach due to its algorithm-driven distribution and trend-based short videos. However, the results also reveal limitations in branding consistency, interactive engagement, and narrative depth. Despite these challenges, English-language short-form video content on Instagram and TikTok presents a cost-effective and strategic approach for promoting Naruu Beach in the global tourism market. This study contributes to digital tourism literature by providing empirical insights into social media-based promotion for emerging destinations and offers practical implications for sustainable destination marketing strategies.
