Abstract

This study aims to identify the most common grammatical errors in Instagram comments written by students of Panca Sakti University Bekasi from the English Education Study Program. Using a descriptive qualitative method, twenty comments were collected, of which sixteen contained grammatical errors while the remaining four comments were error-free regarding the six types analyzed. The analysis focused on subject-verb agreement, sentence fragments, spelling, parallelism, prepositions, and passive voice. The results indicate that subject-verb agreement errors were the most dominant, accounting for 51% of the total errors, followed by sentence fragments (20%), spelling errors (13%), and parallelism and preposition errors (8% each). Passive voice errors were not found in the data. The findings suggest that students’ English usage in informal digital communication tends to be simple, concise, and meaning-focused, often influenced by first language transfer and the fast-paced nature of social media. These patterns contribute to the prevalence of grammatical errors, particularly in subject-verb agreement and sentence completeness.

Abstract

Perguruan tinggi memiliki peran penting dalam menyiapkan calon guru yang memiliki kompetensi pedagogik yang memadai, termasuk kemampuan menerapkan teaching techniques yang efektif dalam pembelajaran EFL. Namun, masih ditemukan keterbatasan pemahaman mahasiswa calon guru dalam mengaitkan teori teknik pengajaran dengan praktik pembelajaran di kelas. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi pedagogik calon guru EFL melalui kegiatan guest lecture bertema Teaching Techniques in EFL. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada mahasiswa semester 5 Universitas Panca Sakti Bekasi melalui metode ceramah interaktif dan diskusi. Evaluasi capaian dilakukan melalui observasi partisipasi, diskusi, dan refleksi peserta. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman mahasiswa terhadap berbagai teaching techniques, tingginya partisipasi aktif dalam diskusi, serta meningkatnya antusiasme peserta selama kegiatan berlangsung. Mahasiswa juga mampu mengidentifikasi teknik pengajaran yang relevan dengan tujuan pembelajaran, karakteristik siswa, dan konteks kelas EFL. Kegiatan ini memberikan kontribusi positif dalam memperkuat kompetensi pedagogik calon guru serta menjadi alternatif strategi pengabdian yang efektif dalam menjembatani kesenjangan antara teori dan praktik pembelajaran di perguruan tinggi.
