Abstract

This study examines the impact of the social media platform “X” on enhancing students’ English writing skills, focusing on both positive and negative effects. Employing a mixed-methods approach involving qualitative interviews, surveys, and quantitative analysis, the research delves into how social media “X” influences students’ ability to write proficiently in English. Findings from the study reveal a significant positive impact on students’ English communication skills and vocabulary expansion through global discussions on “X.” However, negative impacts include a lack of attention to proper language structure, reliance on abbreviations leading to reduced depth of expression, and potential hindrance in using English correctly. Insights from this research contribute to understanding the nuanced dynamics of social media’s role in language learning and inform pedagogical strategies for optimizing digital platforms in education.

Abstract

The agricultural sector in Indonesia plays a crucial role in food security and the national economy. However, farmers face significant challenges related to pest and disease management. Excessive use of synthetic pesticides contributes to pest resistance, environmental pollution, and health risks. Amid global trends towards sustainable agriculture and organic products, Lowayu village, in East Java, faces issues such as limited water resources, resistant pest attacks, and high dependence on chemical inputs. The abundant potential of neem trees (Azadirachta indica) in the village offers an alternative solution as a botanical pesticide. This community service program aims to empower farmers in Lowayu by training them to produce botanical pesticides from neem leaves. The training, conducted by a team from Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) program of Universitas Islam Darul 'Ulum Lamongan, involved problem screening, strategy formulation, experimentation, training, and evaluation. The results show high enthusiasm from participants, with 80% understanding the material well and 60% expressing interest in applying the method. Despite challenges such as variability in effectiveness and product consistency, this botanical pesticide's economic and environmental benefits are significant. This program successfully increased farmers' awareness of eco-friendly alternatives and provided a foundation for further development.
