Abstract

Background. Social media platforms have increasingly become informal learning environments where students engage in knowledge sharing, collaboration, and skill development outside formal educational settings. Purpose. This study aims to explore the opportunities and risks associated with social media as an informal learning environment, focusing on its influence on cognitive, social, and emotional development. Method. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining surveys of 250 students with semi-structured interviews to capture qualitative insights into learning behaviors, engagement patterns, and perceived benefits and drawbacks of social media usage. Results. Findings indicate that students leverage social media for collaborative learning, problem-solving, and information seeking, enhancing critical thinking and communication skills. However, exposure to inaccurate content, online distractions, and social comparison negatively impacted focus, motivation, and emotional well-being.   Conclusion. The study concludes that while social media can serve as a valuable informal learning environment, structured guidance, digital literacy education, and awareness of potential risks are essential for maximizing benefits and mitigating harms.

Abstract

English plays a significant role as a global language and has become an essential subject in higher education. However, university students demonstrate different levels of motivation in learning English as a foreign language (EFL), which may influence their learning outcomes. This study aimed to explore students' motivation in learning English at the English Education Study Program of Universitas Islam Batang Hari. A qualitative case study design was employed involving three highly motivated students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation and analyzed using Creswell's qualitative data analysis procedures. The findings reveal that students' motivation was influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic motivation emerged from students' personal interests, self-development, and future aspirations, whereas extrinsic motivation was strengthened through family support, lecturers, peers, digital media, and the academic environment. These findings indicate that meaningful learning experiences and supportive social relationships contribute significantly to sustaining students' motivation in learning English. This study provides insights for lecturers to create more motivating English learning environments in higher education.
