Abstract

English is often perceived as a difficult and boring subject, which can lead students to become indifferent and unmotivated to learn it. This issue is also prevalent among the students of class III IPS at MA Darussalam Barandasi. On the other hand, spending time on social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat is one of their favorite pastimes. These students often spend hours on these platforms daily, with little to no benefit for their studies. A team of lecturers from the English Education Department and students from the KEMAL program at FKIP Universitas Muslim Maros recognized this as a problem that needed a solution. A creative and effective approach was required—one that could combine both interests into a meaningful and beneficial activity. As a result, a service program was developed with the aim of boosting students’ motivation to learn English through the use of social media applications. The outcomes of this initiative were very promising. Students responded positively, with enthusiasm and excitement, to the idea of learning English via social media. They began following several educational accounts, carefully engaging with content related to English learning materials. This content was then studied and practiced effectively. Students also agreed that using social media made English learning sessions more enjoyable, which in turn motivated them to engage with the subject with greater enthusiasm.

Abstract

Teacher competency development is an important aspect in improving the quality of learning. The program of Kemahiran Mengajar Aplikasi Lapangan (KEMAL) is designed to provide hands-on teaching experience for students of Universitas Muslim Maros at MAS Darussalam Maros, South Sulawesi. The aim of this activity is to improve pedagogical competence, creativity in learning methods, and classroom management of students through participatory interactions with supervising teachers, principals, and students. The methods used include field observation, preparation of action plans, teaching practice, intensive mentoring, evaluation, and reflection. The results of this community service show an increase in students’ competence in compiling teaching materials, managing classes, and implementing creative learning strategies that are adaptive to students’ character. The active involvement of the school community encourages the creation of a participatory and conducive learning atmosphere. The implications of this activity show that the integration of field practice with a collaborative and reflective approach is effective in shaping the professionalism of prospective teachers and improving the quality of learning in partner schools. The novelty of this program lies in its sustainable and contextual participatory mentoring model.

Abstract

This study explores how exposure to English-language digital media influences the functional development of Indonesian as a first language (L1) among early childhood learners. In today's digital era, children are increasingly exposed to English through television shows, online games, and educational apps, often without adequate parental mediation. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study involved 20 children aged 5–12 years and their 20 parents in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data were collected through observation and interviews to investigate language use tendencies, interaction patterns, and influencing factors. The findings indicate that children with high English media exposure tend to use English more frequently in daily interactions and may demonstrate limited use of Indonesian in specific contexts. This imbalance is influenced by the duration of gadget use, the dominance of English content, and the lack of consistent parental involvement. While not pathologizing bilingualism, the study highlights the need for balanced language exposure to support children’s linguistic and social development. The results offer practical insights for parents, educators, and policymakers to foster additive bilingualism through more intentional and contextually appropriate language learning strategies.

Abstract

To improve the quality of learning, teachers must have advanced knowledge of educational research. The purpose of this research is to investigate English teachers’ insights on the importance of research in English Language Teaching and its impact on the excellence of English language learning. The survey method with a quantitative approach and Focus Group Discussion were applied in this study. The population in this research were EFL teachers from junior high schools and senior high schools in South Sulawesi. The survey was conducted by sending online questionnaires to 50 English teachers randomly selected as research samples. Only those with 10 years or more teaching experience were included in the sample. The survey data were analyzed by using descriptive statistical technique. Furthermore, 5 of those 50 teachers with master (S2) qualification were involved in the FGD to gain in-depth understanding. The survey results indicate that most respondents (72,2%) understand the concept of educational research in ELT. In term of interest in research activities, 85% respondents show high interest. However, the level of involvement in research activities varies. The FGD results identify resource limitations and resistance to innovation as challenges in integrating scientific research. Evaluation with various modes is considered important to measure the effectiveness of integrating research findings in ELT into English language learning practices. Overall, the research-based learning approach is received positively among teachers. However, practical challenges need to be addressed to increase teacher engagement in research, and integrate educational research into teaching activities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of English slang in TikTok comments and its impact on user vocabulary enrichment. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation of comments on @ivanka_djo's TikTok account and interviews with ten active TikTok users. Data analysis was conducted using a thematic approach to explore the meaning, function, and user perceptions related to the use of slang.The results show that respondents use English slang on TikTok not only to follow trends, but also to express personal experiences. This slang helps enrich vocabulary, increase self-confidence, and create a sense of community. In addition, the use of slang makes language learning more fun and relevant to everyday life. However, the rapid evolution of slang can sometimes make understanding difficult and lead to misunderstandings, especially outside the TikTok community or with other generations. The dominance of slang also risks reducing the use of formal English, which is important in academic and professional contexts. Therefore, it is important to document TikTok slang in order to benefit language learning and cultural studies in the digital age.

Abstract

This study explores the strategies used by English teachers to reduce students’ anxiety when speaking English in the classroom. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with teachers and students at a junior high school. The findings reveal that students' speaking anxiety often stems from limited vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, and low self-confidence. To address these challenges, teachers implemented various strategies, including role-play activities, the use of dictionaries and digital pronunciation tools, interactive games, and emotional support through motivational feedback. These approaches helped create a supportive and engaging learning environment, encouraging students to participate more actively and confidently in speaking tasks. By tailoring instructional strategies to students’ needs and classroom conditions, teachers were able to foster a more positive attitude toward learning English. This study highlights the crucial role of effective teaching practices in mitigating language learning anxiety and offers practical insights for improving English-speaking skills among junior high school learners.
