Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve students’ recount text writing skills by enhancing their mastery of past tense verbs through the application of clustering techniques within the Genre-Based Approach (GBA). The main problem addressed was the students’ limited ability to construct recount texts with appropriate structure, vocabulary, and chronological flow. The program involved socialization and training for 10 eighth-grade students at SMP YP HKBP 1 Pematangsiantar on May 13, 2025. The implementation methods included lectures, discussions, and writing practice, with evaluations conducted through observation, worksheet analysis, and student writing assessment. Results indicated that 80% of the participants showed significant improvement in text structure, use of past tense verbs, and idea organization. These findings suggest that the integration of clustering techniques and GBA is effective in enhancing students’ writing hardskills in the recount text genre.

Abstract

This research examines variations in language style and the application of formal and informal registers in social media communication, with a particular emphasis on YouTube podcast content featuring public figures within the young adult demographic. The study centers on a widely discussed viral case involving Livy Renata, Vilmei, and Willie, which generated controversy as a result of contrasting interpretations of informal language use in addressing private matters in a public digital space. Adopting a qualitative descriptive methodology, this study applies a sociolinguistic discourse analysis approach. Data were collected from YouTube video transcriptions, relevant conversational excerpts, and the broader social context surrounding the conflict. The results reveal that the prevalent use of informal registers including slang expressions, Indonesian-English code-switching, and relaxed conversational patterns played a significant role in creating misunderstandings and eliciting emotional responses from the individuals involved. Furthermore, a noticeable shift toward a more formal and reflective register emerged when the issue was addressed in a different podcast setting. Overall, the findings highlight that register selection in social media discourse significantly influences public interpretation and may intensify social conflict, especially among young adults.
