Abstract

The world revolution 5.0 has brought major changes in various aspects of life, including education, thus demanding the readiness of teachers, especially English teachers, in adopting educational technology. This study aims to analyze the influence of teachers' professional roles and institutional support on teachers' readiness to adopt educational technology. A quantitative approach was used in this study, with data collection through questionnaires and document studies from 33 respondents. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression method to identify the relationship between variables. The results showed that teachers' professional roles had a more dominant influence on teachers' readiness, with a regression coefficient of 0.553 and a standardized Beta contribution of 0.765. Meanwhile, institutional support also had a positive, albeit smaller influence with a regression coefficient of 0.220 and a standardized Beta of 0.228. Overall, these two variables explained 85.6% of the variation in teacher readiness. The findings suggest that individual factors, such as teachers' professional roles, have a more significant influence than external factors, although institutional support still plays an important role. This study recommends that local governments and schools develop technology-based training programs to improve teachers' capacity to face educational challenges in the era of the information technology revolution.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of using TikTok as a learning medium on students' English language skills in higher education. Using a quantitative approach and descriptive-correlational survey design, data was collected from 124 active university students from various study programs who use TikTok in their English learning process. The instrument used was a closed-ended questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale, which measured the intensity of TikTok use (X) and English language skills (Y), including vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency. The statistical analysis showed a very strong correlation between TikTok usage and English language skills, with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.935. The R Square value of 0.875 indicates that 87.5% of the variability of English skills can be explained by the use of TikTok, while the remaining 12.5% is influenced by other factors. Each one-unit increase in TikTok usage increased English skills by 0.861 units (p < 0.001). The findings suggest that TikTok can be an effective learning media in improving English language skills, especially in vocabulary and listening skills. The practical implication is that educators can utilize this digital platform to support more contextualized and engaging learning.
