This research aims to explore how English learners perceive the use of the @on-
englishfess account on X (formerly Twitter) for vocabulary acquisition.
Employing a qualitative, descriptive research design, the study collected data
through questionnaires and interviews. The study focused on three types of
learners' perspectives, as classified by Wilkinson: negative, neutral, and positive.
A Likert scale was used to quantify these perspectives. The research was
conducted on X, with implementation in a chat room and via Google Forms. The
participants consisted of 35 users of the @on-englishfess account, selected
through a stratified random sampling technique. From this group, five learners
were interviewed to provide deeper insights into their individual perspectives. The
findings indicate that while some learners perceive the account as less effective
for vocabulary learning and more suited for leisure, the majority view it
positively, appreciating its features and the engagement with other users.
A. Conclusion
Based on the results of the data, the researcher conclude that the majority
of learners have a positive perspective of the account. The account offers
opportunities for learners to improve their English skills, particularly in
acquiring new English vocabulary. The research also found that learning
English vocabulary through the account is enjoyable and easy.
Besides that, this account also offers an open, accessible platform for
learning English and reducing boredom. Over half of the users believe that
learning English vocabulary through the account is best to enhance their
understanding of English. The user-friendly interface allows learners to access
the account anytime and anywhere to ask questions and discuss English
learning. The account also provides resources such as images, memes, and
song lyrics, which enrich the vocabulary of English learners. Other factors that
ease the learning process is the other users who willingly share their
knowledge, opinion and critics.
However, some learners prefer other media, such as reading media and
games, and the account was not considered the best for learning English
vocabulary. They think this account is less helped compared with other
accounts in the context of vocabulary learning. According to them, @on-
englishfess is good enough as a question-and-answer forum but not good
enough as a learning assistant.
B. Suggestion
The researcher would like to give suggestion to:
1. English Teachers
English teachers are suggested to show more learning method and
learning assistant that the learners can benefit to learn outside the school,
especially in X social media. Teachers are encouraged to use X auto-based
account @on-englishfess to improve the quality of teaching, particularly
vocabulary development in such an exciting way.
2. Learners
The researcher highly motivated the learners to more actively learn
by using social media especially X auto-based account @on-englishfess so
the learning process would be anywhere and anytime. It is anticipated that
learners will use the auto-based account to expand their vocabulary.
Additionally, the researcher suggested to the learner who have a question
related to the english learning and do not know where to ask to send their
question to this auto-based account. It is planned that they will converse
and get replies to tweets posted to this account.
3. Further Researchers
The other researchers need to be cautious when thinking about and
selecting instruments that are appropriate for their research. The
researcher anticipated that future researchers would pay greater attention
to these details. The researcher intended that other researchers using this
research would benefit from it and find new sources of knowledge and
information that would be helpful in developing their own research in the
future.
