Abstract

This study explores how hoaxes spread on TikTok by focusing on the use of language and hashtags as tools to influence public perception. Through the analysis of viral videos from 2025, the research uncovers how strategies like impersonating authority, emotional appeals, and simplified narratives are used to make false information feel convincing. Hashtags such as #fyp, #beritahoax, #deepfake, and #indonesiagelap play an important role in increasing visibility and shaping the tone of the content. These hoaxes often appear relatable, urgent, or credible—even when they are misleading. The findings show that TikTok’s algorithm, combined with the strategic use of language, makes it easy for misinformation to spread and influence how people perceive certain issues. The study highlights how easily misinformation can circulate in emotionally driven digital spaces and why digital literacy is essential to help users recognize and respond to manipulative content.

Abstract

Writing is a complex skill for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, particularly in terms of grammatical accuracy. One common grammatical problem found in students’ writing is the occurrence of run-on sentence errors, which reduce clarity and coherence. This study aimed to analyze the types of run-on sentence errors produced by Indonesian EFL learners and to examine how these errors can be reconstructed into well-formed English sentences. The study employed a qualitative descriptive research design involving eighthgrade junior high school students selected through purposive sampling. The data were collected from students’ handwritten descriptive paragraphs and analyzed by identifying run-on sentence errors, classifying them into types, and reconstructing the incorrect sentences using appropriate punctuation and coordinating conjunctions. The findings revealed two main types of run-on sentence errors: fused sentences and comma splices, with fused sentences occurring more frequently. The results indicate that learners experience difficulties in recognizing sentence boundaries and applying correct punctuation in English. The study suggests that explicit instruction focusing on sentence structure and clause relationships is essential to reduce run-on sentence errors in EFL writing.
