Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of social media usage on English language learning among high school students, employing a mixed-methods approach. The research focuses on popular social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube, involving 64 tenth-grade students from a high school in Jakarta. In collecting quantitative data, a questionnaire was employed to measure the students’ perceptions of social media. To collect qualitative data, semi-structured interview was used, then analyzed with a thematic analysis. The findings indicate that social media positively contributes to the enhancement of vocabulary, speaking skills, and students' motivation to learn. However, challenges remain, including distractions from non-educational content and a lack of structured learning. The findings emphasize the importance of thoughtfully and specifically incorporating social media into the English language curriculum.

Abstract

EFL Students’ needs for spoken English are considered important to fulfill, and the idea to capture what they need requires some ways and efforts so as to make them eager and keen on practicing English better. However, an analysis on needs environment is not much discussed and conducted for EFL students, mainly in lower secondary schools. Thus, the aim of this study is to examine the needs of EFL students in terms of enhancing their English-speaking skills in lower secondary schools. Three ninth-grade students from three distinct lower secondary schools located in Depok, West Java, Indonesia were the subjects of the research. This study employed a qualitative design with descriptive analysis, and the instrument used to collect the data was semi-structured interviews. The resulting data was analyzed with some steps such as reduction of data, data display, and data presentation. The results demonstrated that EFL students’ English-speaking proficiency is influenced by a variety of needs, including necessities, lacks, and wants. Considering the significance of these needs in the enhancement of EFL students' English-speaking abilities, it is advisable that teachers of English should comprehend and employ efficient learning strategies and stimulating learning media that facilitate the progress of students' English-speaking capabilities.
