Abstract: Dampak positif dan negatif dari media sosial terhadap perkembangan sosial, psikologis, dan perilaku remaja yang belum terbiasa dengan teknologi media sosial. Di era digital ini, cara berinteraksi sosial telah berubah, terutama… rutama bagi remaja yang dibesarkan di tengah kemajuan teknologi yang cepat. Namun, tidak semua remaja beradaptasi dengan cara yang sama terhadap teknologi ini. Remaja yang masih asing dengan media sosial mungkin mengalami tantangan tersendiri saat menjelajahi dunia digital. Di sisi positif, media sosial dapat berfungsi sebagai alat untuk memperluas jaringan sosial, mendorong pembelajaran, dan membantu dalam pengembangan jati diri. Mereka dapat menemukan komunitas yang memiliki minat serupa, bertukar informasi, dan mengekspresikan kreativitas mereka. Namun, ada juga sisi negatif yang signifikan. Terpapar konten yang tidak pantas, mengalami cyberbullying, membandingkan diri secara sosial yang merugikan, dan risiko kecanduan bisa berdampak buruk pada kesehatan mental dan perilaku remaja. Penelitian ini mengadopsi pendekatan kualitatif melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi terhadap sekelompok remaja yang diidentifikasi kurang akrab dengan media sosial. Temuan studi ini menunjukkan bahwa remaja dalam kelompok ini lebih rentan terhadap dampak negatif dari media sosial, seperti kecemasan sosial dan penurunan rasa percaya diri, disebabkan oleh kurangnya keterampilan digital dan strategi menghadapinya yang efektif. Di sisi lain, beberapa remaja berhasil memanfaatkan media sosial secara positif untuk keperluan pendidikan atau pengembangan keterampilan, meskipun dengan pengawasan yang lebih ketat. Implikasi dari penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya pendidikan literasi digital yang menyeluruh dan dukungan psikososial bagi remaja, terutama bagi mereka yang kurang familiar dengan teknologi, untuk memaksimalkan keuntungan dan meminimalkan risiko dari penggunaan media sosial.

STRENGTHENING ENGLISH LANGUAGE SKILL: ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING PROGRAMME BASED ON CONTEXTUAL TEACHING AND LEARNING FOR THE YOUNG GENERATION OF TEGAL ISLAND

Andriyaningsih, Ayu, MS, Vike Aprilianin, Sutiyono, Sutiyono
Abstract: This community service program aimed to enhance the English language skills of elementary school students on Tegal Island, Lampung Province, through the implementation of a Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach.&#8230; . Limited English proficiency among local children has long hindered effective communication with foreign visitors and restricted opportunities for community-based tourism development. To address this challenge, the program incorporated basic English vocabulary related to the beach environment into interactive activities, such as songs, games, visual aids, and direct exploration of local surroundings. These methods were designed to provide authentic, engaging, and memorable language learning experiences tailored to the learners’ environment. A pre-test and post-test design was employed to evaluate the program’s effectiveness. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery, with mean scores rising from 61.36 on the pre-test to 89.73 on the post-test. Statistical analysis using a paired sample t-test revealed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), confirming that CTL significantly enhanced vocabulary acquisition. The normalized gain (N-Gain) indicated a high level of progress among participants, showing consistent improvement across all learners. Beyond cognitive gains, qualitative observations indicated that students exhibited greater confidence, motivation, and environmental awareness as they linked English lessons to familiar contexts. This program illustrates that CTL offers a practical, low-cost, and highly effective strategy for empowering youth in remote island communities. By contextualizing English instruction in real-life settings, CTL not only fosters academic achievement but also supports community engagement, cultural pride, and sustainable human resource development in rural tourism areas.

DISCOURSE ISSUES IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING

Nugraha, Indra
Abstract: The relationship between linguistics and language education is particularly interesting to follow. In language education, especially English, linguistics provides information on language rules and structure knowledge. However,&#8230; wever, due to the notion that teaching English language must be taught in a multilingual environment and intercultural approach, linguistics must also provide a complete description of language. To describe language in use, discourse is the key. To linguistic students, discourse is a familiar term, while to some language education students, the term may be unfamiliar. This raises many issues, including what is discourse. Is it important to learn? Is it relatable to language education, particularly English? To answer these questions, we need to take a glimpse of discourse analysis.
