Exploring the Educational Value of Indo-Harry Potter to Design Foreign Language Learning Methods and Techniques

Abstract

The digital age allows creating an affinity space without being constrained by geographical and temporal distances. Fellow fandom enthusiasts can gather and share their creations through social media, such as Instagram. These creations are filled with educational and other cross-scientific meanings but are often still overlooked by educational researchers. This study aims to understand the patterns of transformative and innovative work created by Indo Harry Potter Instagram (IHP) enthusiasts that correlate with education and psychology. In this study, the case observed was fantasy literature content on IHP’s Instagram account that reflects education, psychology, literacy, and inspiration aspects for foreign language teaching methods. Data were collected in stages through participatory observation directly to the Instagram page as a follower. Then, ongoing prospective teachers who were also IHP followers were interviewed to determine their perspectives on educational aspects that may appear in the posted content. Furthermore, the researchers and lecturers from English language and literature education discussed the coding results in a group forum. The results included transformative work on character education, psychological stimulation, literacy, and inspiration in designing foreign language learning methods and techniques. The implication was that the transformative educational work created by fans of fantasy literature IHP on Instagram contained the aesthetic value of reception and was useful for guidelines in designing methods and techniques for learning foreign languages.
