Today’s English teaching and learning speaking in the digital era at the university level is full of challenges but promotes many possibilities. WhatsApp, the most popular social media used for communication, can be interactively utilized to study speaking about daily conversations in a flexible way anytime and anywhere to solve students’ speaking problems as well as one of the teaching and learning media in the disruptive era. This research was trying to develop WhatsApp-based speaking instructional material (WABSIM) for the Basic Speaking subject to help students speaking English effortlessly and fast about daily topics. This research was the first step of Research and Development (R&D) of the ADDIE model i.e., to analyze students’ needs to learn Basic Speaking through WhatsApp instructions. The research took place at the English Education Study Program of one private university in South East Sulawesi, Indonesia. Sixty-eight (68) students participated in giving information regarding to the students’ needs through an online survey in the Google Form. It revealed that students wanted to learn the Basic Speaking materials integrated with mobile technology in the form of social media of WhatsApp to make the learning is fast, enjoyable, fun, more communicative, more collaborative, and help them learning anytime anywhere, in and outside the classroom more independently. Also, students need real-life topics, authentic, interactive, and presenting domestic and international viewpoints in the WABSIM. Besides, the developed speaking materials should cover the audio and visual materials to cover students’ learning styles varieties, and the materials should include the speaking components such as vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, fluency, comprehension, and task. Data resulting from the needs analysis informed the researchers of crucial issues to consider in developing WABSIM for the design, development, implementation, and evaluation in the next phase of this project. Further, students’ preferences and learning goals can be integrated with perspectives from the mobile learning literature and the affordances of WhatsApp to facilitate communication, collaboration and interaction in ways that have the potential to accelerate English language learning on the part of university students. There would be value in conducting similar needs analyses for other mobile learning instructional material development processes internationally, both for comparison with the Indonesian results here and in order to inform those development processes.

“…Many speakers use swearing language in digital communications such as WhatsApp in delivering their particular message, especially among female speakers. Since females are considered more advanced in language development than males (Maulina 2019), it does not require that females also swear by using their second language. Moreover, they express it in different types of swear words.…”

Traditionally, swearing was considered a taboo subject. However, in today’s era swearing has become a common thing. It is practiced not only by men but women also practice it. To avoid social impoliteness, it is practiced in various ways, purposes, and languages based on the context. This research analyzed the types and functions of English swearing used by females on WhatsApp seen from a sociolinguistics perspective. Ljung (2011) and Vingerhoets & Bylsma (2013)’s theories were applied in this research. Observations were conducted through WhatsApp stories in gaining eight written utterances data and virtual interviews were conducted by eight participants in gaining the functions of swearing data. The results show four types of swear words covered the use of swearing, namely: religious theme, scatological theme, sexual activities theme, and mother/family theme. Each of these themes has different functions depending on the context of utterances. Other results indicate that females function English swearing in intra-individual and inter-individual. Intra-individual functions lead to show anger, frustration, and annoyance. Inter-individual functions lead to insulting others and showing solidarity. These functions were triggered by positive emotions (excitement and chill out with friends) and negative emotions (anger, frustration, and annoyance). Mostly Females swear triggered by negative emotions.
