Abstract

The rapid proliferation of social media has significantly influenced the use of the Indonesian language, particularly in the erosion of standard language norms. This study investigates the impact of social media on the usage of standard Indonesian across various age groups and educational levels. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through content observation on popular platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, complemented by in-depth interviews and a comprehensive literature review. The findings reveal a notable shift towards informal language use, characterized by slang, acronyms, and loanwords from English, particularly among younger and less-educated users. This research identifies a negative correlation between the frequency of social media usage and adherence to standard language rules, with significant variations observed across different demographics. The study also proposes strategic interventions, such as digital literacy programs, to preserve and promote the use of standard Indonesian in the digital era. These insights contribute to understanding the evolving dynamics of language in the context of social media and provide a foundation for formulating relevant language policies and educational strategies in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to explore generational differences in language styles on social media, with a focus on levels of formality, emoji usage, and the integration of visual communication elements. A quantitative content analysis was conducted on a sample of 4,000 social media posts collected from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. The sample included posts from four generational cohorts: Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z. Each post was analyzed for language structure, the frequency of emoji use, and the presence of visual elements such as memes. Statistical methods, including ANOVA, were employed to identify significant differences across generations. The analysis revealed that Baby Boomers prefer more formal language structures, reflecting their adherence to traditional communication norms. In contrast, Generation Z demonstrates a strong preference for informal language, frequent use of abbreviations, emojis, and memes, illustrating their adaptation to the fast-paced, visually-oriented nature of digital communication. The study concludes that these generational differences are shaped by both cultural background and technological exposure, leading to distinct communication patterns across age groups. This research contributes to the field of digital communication by providing empirical evidence on how generational cohorts interact differently on social media, offering valuable insights for marketers and digital strategists in tailoring their communication strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the use of social media as a medium to enhance students' understanding of English, while also exploring the challenges, particularly the distractions caused by entertainment content. The method used in this research is qualitative with a literature review approach, analyzing various relevant literature, scholarly articles, and previous studies to investigate the impact of social media on English learning. The results show that social media platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram provide wide access to educational content that helps students improve their English skills, including listening, speaking, grammar, and vocabulary. However, social media also presents a significant distraction risk, where students tend to be diverted to entertainment content rather than learning. This phenomenon is explained through various theories, such as Social Learning Theory, Cognitive Load, and Self-Regulated Learning. The study concludes that while social media holds great potential in supporting English learning, more directed strategies are needed to manage its use to maximize benefits and reduce the risk of distraction. Utilizing distraction control features, time management, and developing students' self-regulation skills are identified as key factors in enhancing the effectiveness of learning through social media.

Collocation is a combination of two or more words which always arbitrarily come together in different contexts in language. This research deals with the translation of English collocations into Kurdish. The aim of this study is to introduce those problems that Kurdish students encounter when they translate English collocations into Kurdish and then how to solve them. This paper is divided into two main sections. The first section discusses categorizations of collocation and its translation into Kurdish: problems and solutions.
