Abstract

This study aims to examine the use of TikTok as a tool of edutainment for English language acquisition among secondary school students. The research focuses on how TikTok enhances vocabulary development and improves students’ fluency in English. Using a qualitative survey method, data were gathered from 20 secondary school students through an online questionnaire. The result shows that students perceive TikTok as an effective medium for learning English, particularly in terms of expanding their vocabulary and improving their confidence in using the language. The findings suggest that TikTok’s visual and interactive content can motivate students to engage more actively in language learning. This study concludes that TikTok, when used thoughtfully, can be a valuable resource for language education, providing recommendations for educators and content creators to develop more engaging and educational material on the platform.

Abstract

This study explores the manifestations of high-context and low-context communication styles within cross-cultural interactions between Indonesian and American speakers, as portrayed in Puri Viera’s Instagram Reels as the lack of studies by using Indonesian and American as the participants. Utilizing Edward T. Hall’s theory of context communication, the research employs a qualitative content analysis approach to identify and analyze verbal and non-verbal communication patterns. The analysis reveals distinct cultural markers: Indonesian speakers tend to favor indirectness, contextual reliance, and nonverbal cues (high-context), while American speakers exhibit directness, explicitness, and linear logic (low-context). These distinctions not only underscore cultural communication preferences but also demonstrate how digital platforms like Instagram facilitate intercultural dialogue. The findings contribute to the broader understanding of intercultural communication dynamics in digital spaces and provide practical implications for fostering effective, culturally aware interactions on social media.

Abstract

Slick Write has emerged as a potential solution for improving writing teaching via real-time feedback and automated evaluation. Although current studies have investigated Slick Write's efficacy in facilitating writing tasks, there is a paucity of research on its incorporation within a systematic, pedagogically robust writing instruction framework. This study seeks to assess the efficacy of integrating Slick Write into a holistic writing teaching framework and its influence on enhancing students' academic writing abilities. This study utilized a descriptive research methodology and involved 20 junior high school students from grades 7 to 9 at a private institution in Medan, Indonesia. Writing assessments were conducted before and during the adoption of the Slick Write-integrated approach. The written outputs of students were evaluated utilizing the diagnostic elements of Slick Write, which included an analysis of pronouns, adverbs, function words, sentence and paragraph lengths, passive voice metrics, and prepositional phrase indices. The data were evaluated descriptively to identify patterns of improvement and trends in student performance. The results indicate that Slick Write substantially aids students in the writing process by facilitating the generation, organization, and refinement of their ideas with more independence. The students demonstrated enhanced understanding of linguistic mechanics and word choice. This study introduces a unique Slick Write-integrated educational framework that enhances autonomous learning while complementing instructor feedback. These findings drive home the importance of integrating technological tools such as Slick Write into writing pedagogy to improve writing outcomes and foster learner-centered instruction in higher education.
