“…It was revealed in a study performed by Marzuki and Walter [11] that the Malay L1 users were discovered to have employed formal letter-type salutations and professional titles, frequently in their first language text messages and sometimes in their second language one. Matli [12] conducted a study on undergraduates' language use in a messaging service application, WhatsApp conversations with their fellow peers and lecturers by analyzing their textual interactions. It was found that the students used a slang, "Ta" which is a word commonly used by people in the ghetto as compared to "Hello" or "Hi".…”

“…Students and lecturers can be in a position to reach out to each other and have learning interactions through technology that allows instant communication through various messaging service applications. For instance, the use of messaging service applications gives students and faculty the advantage of extending learning beyond classroom contact with minimal time constraints (Matli, 2019). The application of WhatsApp media can improve student learning outcomes, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic (Kartini, 2021;Djamdjuri & Kamilah, 2020).…”

It is believed that communication through technology applications is very important in the current learning situation. Among the utilized applications, WhatsApp presents as the most used application in the Indonesian teaching and learning circumstance. The purpose of this study was to find out the students’ perspective on the use of WA in-class discussion outside the classroom for postgraduate students in the Reading Learning course. The method used a descriptive qualitative case study. Data was taken from interviews and group discussion forums. Data analysis uses data reduction, data presentation, and concluding stages. The results showed that the WA group became a fairly effective medium at the level of student understanding for each of the teaching materials discussed. However, communication within the WA group requires standard rules agreed upon by each student so that the goal of forming a WA group as a learning medium outside the classroom can be achieved.

Information and communication technologies transform modern education into a more available learning matrix. One of the unexplored aspects of open education is the constant communicative interaction within the student group by using social media. The aim of the study was to determine principal functions of student-led communication in the educational process, the method for assessing its strong points and the disadvantages disrupting traditional learning. For the primary study of the phenomenon, we used methods that made it possible to propose approaches to further analysis. Netnography is the main research method defining the essence and characteristics of the student-led peer-communication. In our research, we applied data visualization, analytical and quantitative methods and developed a set of quantitative indicators that can be used to assess various aspects of student communication in chats. The elaborated visual model can serve as a simple tool for diagnosing group communication processes. We revealed that online group chats perform a support function in learning. They provide constant informational resource on educational and organizational issues and create emotional comfort. Identified features serve to define shortcomings (e.g., lack of students’ readiness to freely exchange answers to assignments) and significant factors (e.g., underutilized opportunities for self-organization) that exist in the modern system of higher education.
