Abstract

Social media, an Internet-based technology, enables students to receive and share information, leading to an upsurge in English learning. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are some of the most popular social networking apps for students. Thus, the present research was conducted to expose non-EFL/ESL university students' preferences in learning English. A mixed-method research design was used to process the research, and an open-ended questionnaire (Quanti) and semi-structured interview (Quali) were employed. Using purposive sampling, 77 students participated voluntarily, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The finding revealed that YouTube was the most preferred among other platforms, TikTok was the second most favourable, followed by Instagram, and Facebook was the least. The preferences were determined according to the enjoyment, system quality, information quality, interactivity, perceived usefulness and satisfaction with the applications. The present research is beneficial as evidence for an upcoming study comparing the effectiveness of these social media platforms for future English education, especially the features and exploring the users' belief in utilizing the devices.

Abstract

Grammar is an important aspect of learning a language because it conveys the full meaning of sentences and how readers or listeners understand them, whereas mastery of English grammar is currently seen as a dynamic process called grammaring. In this process, learners must possess explicit knowledge of rules. They are also required to stay aware of how to integrate three dimensions of language: form, meaning, and use. Many studies have focused on analyzing students' writing errors. Meanwhile, this study aims to examine students' grammatical awareness when identifying and explaining the use of English tenses in a given context. The research involved first-year students in the English Education Department in the 2025/2026 academic year. A descriptive quantitative method was employed to analyze and describe students' current grammatical proficiency, using data from their written responses to a final examination in the Basic Grammar course. The findings showed that students performed better at identifying tenses (54.17%) rather than at explaining their use (43.33%). A paradoxical trend also emerged: whereas the Simple Present produced strong identification but poor explanation accuracy (70% vs 30%), the Past Continuous showed the opposite pattern (30% vs 56.7%). These findings suggest that students have disjointed explicit knowledge, frequently depending on intuitive recognition or memorization instead of a cohesive comprehension of Form, Meaning, and Use.
