Abstract

The rapid rise of social media has significantly influenced how teenagers in urban areas like Makassar communicate. This study investigates the impact of social media platforms—such as Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp—on teenage language use, focusing on vocabulary, grammar, and communication styles. Employing a mixed-methods approach that includes surveys of 150 teenagers, interviews, and content analysis, the findings reveal that 85% of respondents frequently use internet slang and abbreviations, while 70% incorporate English loanwords in everyday speech. Common expressions like “DM,” “OOTD,” and “LOL” are now part of their daily lexicon, reflecting a shift toward a more globalized and informal linguistic environment. Qualitative analysis shows a trend toward simplified grammar in casual contexts and a growing reliance on emojis and memes for emotional expression. While these developments promote creativity, adaptability, and digital fluency, they also present challenges to formal language proficiency, especially in academic writing. This study concludes that social media acts as a double-edged sword—encouraging innovative language use while potentially weakening formal communication skills. It recommends integrating digital literacy and language awareness into school curricula to help students navigate and balance the demands of both informal and formal language contexts.

Abstract

This study investigated the role of AI tools in English for Business learning, identifies the challenges students face when using these tools, and proposes ethical considerations for their academic use. The researcher employed a descriptive qualitative research design and used purposive sampling to select the participants. The participants consisted of 104 students from STIE Tri Dharma Nusantara. The additional participants were four English lecturers, who discussed the challenges of students’ use of AI from their perspectives and offered consideration for ethical AI use in academic contexts. Data were collected through classroom observations, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews with 6 students. The findings revealed that AI tools play four major roles in English for Business learning: facilitating effective and efficient learning processes, enhancing business communication competencies, serving as references and models, and acting as catalysts for learning rather than substitutes for educators. Survey results indicate moderate to high levels of AI usage among students. However, several challenges were identified, including unnatural or overly general language output, limited contextual and cultural understanding, reduced critical thinking, increased risk of plagiarism, diminished learning motivation, and lower self-confidence. Lecturers highlighted issues related to the similarity of students’ work and the difficulty in assessing genuine understanding. In response, this study emphasizes the importance of ethical AI integration through effective prompt design and positioning AI as a supportive learning assistant grounded in students’ prior knowledge.
