“…The effectiveness of employing the Telegram application in teaching vocabulary has also been studied by a number of scholars who stated that Telegram is an effective teaching tool that motivates students to learn vocabulary enjoyably [55,56]. The same can be said about Facebook [57], Instagram [58], and the like.…”

Vocabulary knowledge is a prerequisite for mastering any foreign language. It takes a lot of time and effort to develop English as a foreign language (EFL) vocabulary skills. Efficient ways to facilitate this process should be studied and analyzed. The present study aimed to investigate the role of the Discord application in teaching and learning EFL vocabulary. Discord is a free messenger with support for IP telephony and video conferencing, as well as the possibility to create public and private chats for exchanging text and voice messages. The study relied on pre-test and post-test design to get the necessary data of one experimental and one control group, 80 university students altogether. The results of the pre-test showed no significant difference between the two groups. The experimental group was taught with the help of the Discord application, while the control group was dealing with the traditional educational process, that is, 180 min every week in a classroom with a textbook and no electronic educational resources. Results of the t-test indicated that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group on a researcher-made vocabulary post-test. A post-treatment speaking test was administered—the participants took part in speaking interviews where they were asked to give a short speech on one of the topics studied during the experimental training. The representatives of the experimental group managed to use more vocabulary items per person correctly (pronunciation, lexical combinability, etc.). The findings revealed that the suggested way of using the Discord application may positively influence the acquisition of EFL vocabulary and its further application in speaking. Hence, it is recommended that the Discord application be used as a tool in the EFL vocabulary teaching and learning process to reinforce in-class tasks and activities.

“…As Instagram provides contextualized visual information (Ahmadi & Tabatabaei, 2021;Gonulal, 2019;Gunawan et al, 2021), it could be helpful for visual learners to learn English vocabulary (Ahmadi & Tabatabaei, 2021) and contribute to more enjoyable vocabulary learning experiences (Al-Ghamdi, 2018). Studies by Aloraini (2018) and Fadda (2020) in Saudi Arabia and Qisthi (2020) in Indonesia found that students might prefer to use Instagram in systematic ways over others in learning English vocabulary, for example by observing English accounts and hashtags to find new vocabulary (Qisthi, 2020). Instagram also offers interactive vocabulary enrichment (Lailiyah & Setiyaningsih, 2020).…”

This study aimed to investigate the attitudes of non-English primary university students in Indonesia on using Instagram for vocabulary learning and to find out the students' views of learning English vocabulary using Instagram. Considering the popularity of Instagram among Indonesian university students and the scarcity of such studies involving non-English primary students, investigating their use of Instagram for English vocabulary learning can be worthwhile and relevant. The study involved 213 student participants who were Instagram users in an online survey and six in online interviews. The survey found that the participants generally had positive attitudes toward using Instagram for vocabulary learning. However, the study found the participants' somewhat ambivalent views through the Thematic Analysis of the interview data. Students reported consciously learning new isolated English vocabulary from English captions on Instagram. They unconsciously acquired isolated English vocabulary from photos and videos on Instagram. However, Instagram was not helping in obtaining vocabulary in contexts as it gave a limited content explanation. The findings could help teachers to make an informed decision when using Instagram in the instructional process, optimizing its strength and potential.ABSTRAKTujuan studi ini adalah untuk mengetahui sikap mahasiswa jurusan non-bahasa Inggris di Indonesia terhadap penggunaan Instagram untuk pembelajaran kosakata bahasa Inggris dan untuk mengetahui pandangan mahasiswa mengenai pembelajaran kosakata bahasa Inggris menggunakan Instagram. Mengingat bahwa kepopuleran Instagram di kalangan mahasiswa dan bahwa studi yang melibatkan mahasiswa jurusan non-bahasa Inggris masih cukup langka, studi yang melibatkan kelompok mahasiswa ini sangat diperlukan dan relevan. Studi melibatkan 213 mahasiswa pengguna Instagram melalui survei daring dan enam diantaranya melalui wawancara daring. Studi ini menemukan bahwa para peserta secara umum memiliki sikap positif terhadap penggunaan Instagram untuk pembelajaran kosakata. Namun, melalui analisis tematik hasil wawancara, ditemukan bahwa peserta wawancara memiliki pandangan yang sedikit ambivalen. Mereka melaporkan bahwa melalui Instagram, mereka secara sadar mempelajari kosakata lepas baru melalui captions Instagram. Selanjutnya, para peserta melaporkan bahwa secara tidak sadar mereka memperoleh kosakata lepas dari foto dan video di Instagram. Namun, dilaporkan bahwa Instagram tidak begitu membantu dalam pemerolehan kosakata dalam konteks. Hasil studi ini dapat membantu pengajar untuk membuat keputusan yang tepat saat menggunakan Instagram dalam proses pembelajaran, mengoptimalkan kekuatan dan potensinya.How to Cite: Baruti, T.D.W.P., Subekti, A.S.
