Abstract

This research seeks to investigate the study of slang discourse seen in the TikTok comment sections of East Kalimantan users. Slang is a kind of informal language that sounds very entertaining, trendy, and creative. Normally, the usage of the language is mostly by young people so that they can express their feelings, interact with others, and follow what is trending in the digital world. For this reason, this research aims to unveil what types of slang people use, its uses, and how it reflects identity and communication strategies. The research utilizes qualitative descriptive methodologies for data collection, which is gathered from TikTok comments and interviews conducted with eight users from East Kalimantan. The findings reveal that various etiquettes of slang are greatly influenced by both the world and local culture. Some popular terms include “anjay,” “gacor,” “slay,” and “rizz,” among others. Most users learn slang from TikTok and Instagram and extend it in a way that makes them sound modern, funny, or relatable. Slang also helps people feel part of a group and, at the same time, more quickly communicate their thoughts.

Abstract

This study investigates code-switching in digital communication among bilinguals, focusing on informal conversations on WhatsApp and Discord. It aims to examine the types of Code-Switching that occur and the underlying motivations behind them. The study employs a qualitative case study approach, the research involved chat data analysis and semi-structured interviews with a 21-year-old Indonesian and an 18-year-old Malaysian, both of whom are online friends. Data were collected over a three months period (January-March 2025). Guided by Poplack’s typology, the analysis identified three types of code switching: intra-sentential, inter-sentential, and tag-switching with intra-sentential switching being the most frequent (76% of all instances). Participants reported that their language choices were influenced by social dynamics, emotional state and the context of the conversation. Reasons for code-switching were for expressive clarity, social connection and cultural identity reinforcement. While limited by its small sample and short timeframe, this study highlights how digital platforms facilitate linguistic flexibility and position Code-Switching as a strategic tool for interpersonal communication. The findings contribute to the fields of sociolinguistic and digital communication by providing insight into how online communication shapes multilingual practices in contemporary context.

Abstract

Despite the importance of speaking skills in communicative English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogy, many undergraduate EFL learners remain silent in speaking courses. Existing research has largely focused on silence among EFL learners in other cultural contexts, leaving a gap in understanding the sociocultural, institutional, and linguistic factors influencing Indonesian university students. This qualitative study employs narrative inquiry to explore the lived experiences of silent undergraduate EFL learners in speaking classes, allowing participants to share personal stories, emotions, and reflections on their silence. Guided by Krashen’s Second Language Acquisition theories and Saville-Troike’s ethnographic framework, the research investigates both the individual and contextual factors of silence. The findings show that silence is influenced by university pedagogical shock, engaging in a silent period and hindered by affective filters, as well as contextual factors such as hierarchical classroom dynamics, authoritarian teaching styles, group-influenced silence, disengagement due to uninteresting topics, and showing respect. This research highlights the need for more supportive and interactive speaking environments in EFL speaking classes and offers practical suggestions for teachers to help students participate more actively.
