Abstract

This study examines the phenomena of code switching and code mixing among bilingual children, focusing on a 9-year-old Indonesian child, Gracia. Using a qualitative approach, the research identifies patterns and functions of these linguistic practices in daily communication. The findings reveal that code switching and code mixing facilitate expression, social adaptation, and emotional communication, influenced by bilingual exposure, pop culture, and situational contexts. While these phenomena enhance cognitive abilities and cultural adaptability, they may challenge linguistic mastery if overused. The study contributes to understanding bilingual language development, with implications for multilingual education in Indonesia.

Abstract

This socialization activity on the introduction and benefits of the TOEFL function was conducted with the aim of enhancing the understanding of the students of SMA Swasta Teladan Pematangsiantar, particularly the eleventh-grade students, regarding the importance of the TOEFL test as one of the requirements in education and employment. TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is an international standardized test that measures English language proficiency in four main skills: reading, listening, writing, and speaking. Unfortunately, many high school students still lack understanding about the function, format, and benefits of this test. Therefore, this socialization activity was designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the concept of TOEFL, its test types (ITP, iBT, and CBT), question structure, and basic strategies for taking the test. Through material presentation, interactive discussions, and practice sessions, this activity is expected to motivate students to take English learning more seriously and to prepare themselves early. The results showed that students responded positively, with enthusiasm, and began to realize the importance of TOEFL as a valuable asset for their academic and professional future.

Abstract

The rapid growth of TikTok as a popular social media platform has significantly influenced written language practices, particularly in caption writing, which tends to be informal and spontaneous. This study aims to identify, classify, and analyze language errors found in TikTok captions created by Indonesian content creators. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, the data were collected through documentation of publicly accessible TikTok captions and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The findings reveal that language errors predominantly occur in the forms of redundancy, grammatical errors, spelling errors, and semantic inconsistency. These errors are not categorized as intentional code-switching or stylistic language mixing but rather as violations of standard linguistic norms. Theoretically, this study confirms that the informal nature of social media influences written language use and encourages non-standard forms in digital communication contexts.
