Abstract

Instagram has always been popular among the youth and collectively, this creates a large community with various content from entertainment to education. This study aimed to examine whether students' Instagram usage could serve as a predictor of students' English proficiency at a high school in Martapura. This study employed a quantitative correlation research design to analyze the relationship between English proficiency through in grade 11 and their usage of Instagram through online survey questionnaire. The results of the Pearson correlation coefficient collected through IBM SPSS 27 showed that the students' use of Instagram was negatively correlated with their average daily Instagram usage (in daily hours), based on data from 31 participants in SMA Negeri 1 Martapura. Although, in the end, Instagram did not have a correlation with English proficiency, it can still function greatly as a learning tool when used properly. Therefore, by providing bilingual education and using social media applications properly of both English and Indonesian language and implementing English during childhood can not only improve their language capabilities but also broaden the use from communicating to creating international business opportunity. Keywords: English proficiency, Social media, technology, usages, Instagram usage
