Abstract

This research was motivated by the curiosity of the students’ perceptions toward the use of an auto-base on Twitter (X) named @englishfess_ in informal English vocabulary learning activity as well as the factors why the students use the media and also what problems the students faced. This research was a Descriptive Qualitative Method using a questionnaire and interview as the data collection method. The sampling method used was total sampling for filling out the questionnaire and random sampling for the interview needs that included three students. To validate the data, methodological triangulation was used by using different data collection methods. Then, to analyze the data, the researcher used thematic analysis by Braun & Clarke in Caulfield. This research includes 21 university students from three big universities (UNSOED, UMP, UINSAIZU) majoring in English Education Study Program that actively follow the auto-base account. The results show that the students’ perceptions came out all positive. From the questionnaire, it was known that the students’ perceptions level toward the use of auto-base @englishfess_ to learn vocabulary reached 81% which was considered very good. The responses showed most of them chose @englishfess_ to learn vocabulary because it was easy to access (57,1%) as their contextual factor and chose the statement @englishfess_ because it was a suitable platform for young adult learners (66,7%) as their demographic factor. The distraction from other contents on Twitter (X) showed as the biggest result of the difficulty the students faced (67%). From the interview, the researcher found widely varying results about how the students perceived the media and further explanations about what were their factors in using the media and also the difficulties they faced during the use of the media. All three students that were interviewed expressed their opinion about learning vocabulary using @englisfess_ with very positive responses. The students also expressed the easiness and the suitability of the media in terms of informal learning activity. Two of three students expressed that they indeed usually got distracted by other contents as their main problems during the use of the media.
