Abstract

This study aims to see how effective the use of Instagram Story as an innovative way to help students learn English vocabulary in class VIII MTs Muhammadiyah 1 Samarinda. This study was conducted with a quantitative approach and used a pre-experiment design, specifically one-group pre-test and post-test. The study participants consisted of 20 students who took the vocabulary test before and after the treatment. The test was in the form of multiple choice questions which aimed to measure how well they understood the vocabulary. In three meetings, students were taught to use Instagram Story features such as pictures, quizzes, and charades to learn English vocabulary. The results showed that the students' average score increased from 7.15 in the pre-test to 9.35 in the post-test. The paired t-test analysis showed a t-count of -5.311 with a significance of less than 0.001, which means there was a highly significant difference before and after the treatment. These findings prove that Instagram Stories serve as an effective learning medium that significantly improves students' English vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

Academic writing is a fundamental skill in higher education, especially for students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), who often face challenges in organizing ideas and applying accurate grammar. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools like Grammarly has opened new opportunities for students to improve writing performance independently. This study investigates students' perceptions of Grammarly and examines its role in supporting Self-Directed Learning (SDL), which includes self-management, motivation, and self-monitoring. Employing a quantitative descriptive method, data were collected through a structured questionnaire involving 50 second-semester students enrolled in the Academic Writing course at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur. The results revealed high average scores in both Grammarly usage (need and practicality) and all three dimensions of SDL. Furthermore, a strong positive correlation (r = 0.869, p < 0.000) was found between Grammarly use and SDL levels. This indicates that students who positively perceive Grammarly are more likely to develop SDL behaviors in academic writing. The study concludes that Grammarly serves not only as a technical writing aid but also as a reflective tool that supports learner autonomy. The originality of this research lies in its focus on linking Grammarly use with SDL in the specific context of Indonesian EFL students an area that remains underexplored in previous studies. This provides valuable insights into how digital writing tools can foster independent learning in academic contexts.
