The purpose of this research is to investigate and understand in depth the role of social media in increasing students' social interactions during the language learning process in Indonesian higher education. By achieving this goal, this research seeks to provide practical recommendations for increasing the effectiveness of language learning and creating a foundation for the development of more adaptive social media-based learning strategies. Method. This research uses a quantitative approach with survey methods. The questionnaire was designed using Google Form and distributed to 30 students who were studying Arabic and English at various universities in Indonesia. The data analysis technique adopts the Miles Huberman technique with a focus on students' understanding of the contribution of social media to increasing social interaction in language learning. Results. The research results show that students actively use social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp to discuss, share learning resources, and collaborate on learning projects. Evaluation of the integration of social media in learning materials shows that the majority of students think that lecturers have integrated social media well. Conclusion.` This research provides a comprehensive picture of the positive impact of social media in language learning in higher education.

Abstract

Background. In the 21st century learning era, innovation in learning methods is crucial. Educational games stand out as an interesting and effective solution to improve the quality of learning. In particular, foreign language learning requires a more interactive and fun approach to motivate students. Purpose. The main aim of this research is to measure the extent to which technology-based educational games can improve understanding of foreign language vocabulary. In addition, this research evaluates the level of satisfaction and motivation of students in using educational games as a means of learning vocabulary. Method. With a quantitative approach and survey design, this research involved 30 language students. The use of the method of drawing student numbers for sample selection and distributing the questionnaire link via the WhatsApp group with a random technique ensures representativeness and voluntary participation of respondents. The research instrument was a structured questionnaire. Results. The results of the questionnaire showed that 70% of respondents expressed satisfaction with the use of educational games, with 30% of them feeling 'Very Satisfied.' In terms of motivation, 87% of respondents reported increased motivation after using educational games, where 30% said 'Very Improved' and 56.7% said 'Improved.' Even though 13.3% of respondents felt 'Neutral' regarding increasing motivation, this does not reduce the positive impact felt by the majority of participants. Conclusion. The use of educational games is effective in increasing student satisfaction and motivation in learning foreign language vocabulary. The game's attractiveness factors, reward system, and level achievement are the main contributors to a positive experience. Variations in levels of satisfaction and motivation can be used as a basis for further development and optimization of educational game designs according to student preferences and expectations. This conclusion provides a basis for improving the quality of foreign language learning at the tertiary level.
