Pemanfaatan Instagram sebagai Media Pembinaan Bahasa Indonesia mengenai Penggunaan Preposisi “di”

This study aims to analyze the use of Instagram as a medium for language development in the correct use of the preposition "di" according to the guidelines of Ejaan yang Disempurnakan (EYD) edition V. Although the Indonesian language has clear writing rules, inaccuracies in the use of the preposition "di" are still frequently found in both print and digital media. One of the contributing factors is the low level of public understanding of these rules. Therefore, language development through Instagram is considered an effective way to raise awareness and improve understanding among the public. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through Instagram’s polling feature, which allows the researcher to measure audience understanding of the correct usage of "di". The results show an increase in audience comprehension after receiving explanations regarding the correct usage, although many respondents still showed inaccuracies in the use of "di". Therefore, a broader and more sustained language development effort via social media is needed to enhance public awareness of correct prepositional writing. This research is expected to serve as a foundation for the development of more interactive and practical language development strategies, especially in the context of social media.
