YouTube Show 'Lapor Pak Trans7' Holds Potential to Boost High School Students' Anecdotal Text Writing Skills


FORMOSA NEWS-Indonesian language learning in senior high schools is becoming increasingly adaptive to the development of digital media. A literature review study conducted by Tesalonika Br Karo alongside I Nyoman Sudiana and I Komang Sugi Partawan from Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha in 2026 reveals that the popular YouTube comedy show "Lapor Pak Trans7" holds great potential as an effective learning medium to train high school students in writing anecdotal texts. This study highlights the importance of utilizing popular audiovisual media among the younger generation to overcome student boredom and difficulties in crafting humorous stories rich in social criticism.

Generally, learning to write anecdotal texts in schools frequently faces conventional obstacles. Many students struggle to generate story ideas, organize a coherent plot, and appropriately weave elements of humor and social criticism. Rigid teaching methods without varied media often cause students to feel disinterested, preventing their critical ideas from being fully developed. Meanwhile, in today's digital era, students are far more familiar with audiovisual media and YouTube, platforms that blend entertainment with social realities.

To formulate a solution to this issue, the researchers employed a library research method with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection was conducted systematically through the Google Scholar database using the Publish or Perish application alongside Boolean search techniques with specific keywords. Following a rigorous selection process based on topic suitability, variable alignment, and full open-access availability, the research team selected nine previous studies for analysis.

The main findings from analyzing these nine scientific studies indicate that integrating visual and audiovisual media consistently improves student motivation, understanding, and learning outcomes in writing anecdotal texts:

  • Increased Writing Scores: An experimental study by Ricka Fahdilla (2023) noted that audiovisual media significantly improved students' anecdotal text writing skills, reaching an average score of 82.5.
  • Surge in Student Engagement: Implementing interactive media strategies in a study by Febi Nurul Safitri (2025) successfully boosted writing scores by 8.67% and increased classroom student engagement by 11.2%.
  • Content Relevance: Content analysis of "Lapor Pak Trans7" on YouTube reveals that the comedy sketches feature light dialogue, concrete situations, satirical language styles, and roasting material whose structure aligns closely with the linguistic conventions of anecdotal texts.
  • Critical Thinking Development: Research and Development (R&D) studies by Imrotin (2022) as well as Dita Hasibuan et al. proved that digital video-assisted teaching materials stimulate student creativity, critical thinking skills, and collaboration.

The implications of this research are highly significant for national education, particularly in curriculum design and language teaching strategies. Indonesian language teachers can now leverage "Lapor Pak Trans7" broadcasts as concrete classroom examples. By observing character expressions, dialogue structures, and real-life social phenomena presented in the show, students do not merely memorize theory; they gain real inspiration to express polite yet creative social criticism through writing.

"Comedy shows like 'Lapor Pak Trans7' present humor and social criticism that are closely tied to students' daily lives, making them highly relevant concrete media to foster creativity and understanding of anecdotal text structures," emphasized the Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha research team in their study.
