Abstract

This study investigates how students in the English Department at Mulawarman University use Twitter as an informal platform to improve their English communication skills. Unlike traditional classrooms, Twitter offers a relaxed, real-time environment where students interact in English through tweets, slang, memes, and interactions with classmates. Using a qualitative narrative research approach, data were collected from six students and one instructor through semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis revealed three main findings: students learn English informally through daily practice and self-motivation; they adapt to a flexible communication style influenced by online slang and global discourse; and they benefit from peer interactions that provide feedback, vocabulary models, and confidence-building. This study concludes that Twitter functions not only as a social media tool but also as a dynamic space for authentic, self-directed, and culturally embedded language learning. Unlike previous studies that focus on the formal integration of social media in education, this research highlights the non-academic motivations driving meaningful engagement with English. While acknowledging limitations such as deliberate sampling and digital access, this study offers new insights into how digital platforms support socio-linguistic language development. The research recommends further investigation into long-term impacts and broader student populations to understand the educational value of informal digital learning environments.

Abstract

Tantangan dalam pembelajaran matematika di sekolah dasar salah satunya terletak pada rendahnya partisipasi dan motivasi belajar peserta didik, terutama pada materi penyajian data yang sering dianggap kurang menarik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan partisipasi dan motivasi belajar siswa kelas VC SDN 008 Samarinda Kota melalui penerapan metode konkret piktogram dalam konteks perayaan Hari Kemerdekaan. Data yang digunakan dalam pembelajaran diambil dari minat siswa terhadap berbagai jenis lomba seperti futsal, lari estafet, menyanyi, membaca puisi, dan cerdas cermat. Pembelajaran dirancang menggunakan model Problem Based Learning dan strategi pembelajaran kooperatif tipe STAD, yang memungkinkan siswa bekerja dalam kelompok heterogen untuk mengumpulkan dan menyajikan data partisipasi lomba dalam bentuk tabel frekuensi dan piktogram. Pendekatan ini menjadikan siswa tidak hanya sebagai penerima materi, tetapi sebagai subjek aktif yang terlibat langsung dalam proses pembelajaran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan data yang bersumber dari minat dan pengalaman nyata siswa mampu meningkatkan antusiasme, keterlibatan aktif, serta semangat kolaboratif dalam menyelesaikan tugas. Siswa menjadi lebih termotivasi karena materi yang dipelajari terasa dekat dan bermakna. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan pemanfaatan peristiwa-peristiwa sekolah yang relevan, seperti perayaan Hari Kemerdekaan, sebagai konteks pembelajaran untuk memperkuat pemahaman konsep dan menumbuhkan motivasi belajar siswa secara alami.
