Abstract

This study aims to develop creative TikTok videos for English speaking practice based on students’ needs analysis. The research applied a Research and Development (R&D) design, involving 30 English major students and two English lecturers. The data were collected through questionnaires distributed via Google Forms. The needs analysis results revealed that students mainly need speaking skills for career preparation and academic purposes, with major difficulties in grammatical accuracy and spontaneous speaking. Based on these findings, several TikTok videos were developed, focusing on daily conversation, role play, and interactive dialogue with a short duration of approximately one minute. The developed videos were then evaluated through expert validation using a Likert-scale questionnaire. The results showed high feasibility scores of 94% and 98%, which fall into the “very feasible” category. This indicates that the developed TikTok videos are appropriate as a learning medium for supporting students’ speaking practice. However, this study is limited to the development and validation stages, and further research is recommended to test the effectiveness of the product in real classroom settings.

Abstract

The use of Indonesian on social media is currently still frequently encountered with language errors, both in posts and user comments. This phenomenon occurs because language use on social media tends to be more casual, fast-paced, and does not always adhere to proper Indonesian language rules. This study aims to analyze the forms of language errors in the use of Indonesian on social media. This study uses a qualitative approach with a language error analysis design in linguistic studies. The research data sources were posts and comments on public social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, accessed between January and February 2026. The research data consisted of words, phrases, and sentences containing language errors. Data collection techniques were carried out through listening and documentation techniques, while data analysis techniques were carried out through the stages of data reduction, data classification, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the language errors found included errors in spelling, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, diction, and the use of ineffective sentences. These errors are generally influenced by the habit of using casual language, the use of abbreviations, and the influence of slang in digital communication. Therefore, public awareness is needed to pay more attention to the use of proper Indonesian on social media.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types of teacher–student interaction and to identify the factors influencing interaction patterns in an EFL classroom at SMP Negeri 1 Percut Sei Tuan. The research applied a descriptive qualitative method, focusing on classroom interaction between the teacher and students. The data were collected through classroom observation and video recording, then transcribed and analyzed using Flanders Interaction Analysis Categories (FIAC). The data analysis was conducted through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that classroom interaction is dominated by student response and teacher talk, including lecturing, giving directions, and asking questions. This indicates that students participate actively but mainly in a reactive manner. Furthermore, the interaction patterns are influenced by several factors, including the teacher’s teaching strategy, the type of classroom activities, students’ language proficiency and confidence, and the teacher-centered classroom environment, which limit students’ opportunities to initiate communication.

Abstract

Indonesia is a highly multilingual country with over 700 regional languages coexisting alongside Indonesian as the national language. This study aimed to examine the influence of regional language mastery on Indonesian language proficiency among university students. A quantitative approach with an explanatory design was employed. The sample consisted of 16 students from Class C of the 2024 cohort in Geography Education at Universitas Negeri Medan, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring regional language mastery (8 items) and Indonesian language proficiency (10 items) on a 1–5 Likert scale. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, normality test (Shapiro-Wilk), linearity test, simple linear regression, t-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The results showed that the average level of regional language mastery was low (mean = 24.3/40), and Indonesian language proficiency was also low (mean = 29.9/50). The hypothesis test revealed no significant influence of regional language mastery on Indonesian language proficiency (t-count = 0.487 < t-table = 2.145; Sig. = 0.634 > 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.017) indicated that regional language mastery contributed only 1.7% to Indonesian language proficiency, while 98.3% was influenced by other factors such as learning motivation, reading habits, campus environment, media exposure, and previous educational quality. This study concludes that regional language mastery is not a primary determinant of Indonesian language proficiency among these students.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the use of Indonesian and regional languages among students of the Geography Education Department, Faculty of Social Sciences, State University of Medan (UNIMED), Class of 2024. The study was conducted to determine the language most frequently used by students in formal and informal situations, as well as the factors influencing language choice when communicating on campus. The research method used was descriptive research with a quantitative approach. Data were obtained through the distribution of questionnaires using Google Forms to 10 Geography Education students, Class of 2024. The results showed that Indonesian was the most dominant language used, especially in academic activities such as class discussions, presentations, and formal communication because it was easier for all students to understand. Meanwhile, regional languages were still used in informal situations, especially when speaking with friends from the same region because they were considered more familiar and comfortable. Factors influencing language choice included the interlocutor, the communication situation, comfort, cultural identity, and communication effectiveness. This study shows that students are able to adapt their language use to the communication context without abandoning the function of regional languages as cultural identity.

Abstract

This research explores the relationship between semantic significance and pragmatic purpose in courteous speech acts depicted in The Devil Wears Prada. Based on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory, the study seeks to determine the various politeness strategies employed by the characters and to examine how meaning and intention are formed in hierarchical workplace interactions. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the data were gathered from chosen conversations in the film that represent different speech acts. These statements were classified into four strategies of politeness: positive politeness, negative politeness, bald-on-record, and off-record. The results indicate that positive politeness is the strategy most commonly employed, highlighting the significance of preserving social connections and unity among characters. Nonetheless, the employment of negative politeness and bald-on-record tactics emphasizes the significant power dynamics and authority inherent in professional environments. Moreover, off-the-record tactics are used to express criticism or implicit meanings without direct confrontation. The examination reveals that the difference between semantic and pragmatic meaning significantly influences communication, especially in conveying power, navigating relationships, and upholding professionalism. This research enhances the comprehension of how politeness tactics operate in media discussions and mirrors genuine communication behaviors in structured settings.
