Abstract
The widespread use of the internet in the modern era has led to several unique works, one of these unique works is memes that are spread on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and also TikTok. Memes contains a humorous product of literacy. Memes written in English integrate the English literacy concept. Meanwhile, English grammar is still considered a difficult aspect of English to understand and there are still grammatical errors found in students. Memes have become a common study in the field of linguistics. Previous research described the identification of the meaning of a meme for teenagers as users who dominate social media and thus this meme can become a new tool to be integrated to the field of education especially in learning English grammar since the humorous literacy contents they provide. English memes have an opportunities for the implementation of these two things in grammar learning which focuses on correcting grammatical errors that are often made by students. Therefore, the innovation provided by researchers is the use of meme comics as media for learning English grammar. In this study, we have an idea about learning methods using memes in learning English. Our research method is a qualitative design with interview data collection methods and also participatory observation to determine students' interest in the idea of this learning method.Keywords: education, english grammar, grammar errors, meme comicsReferences
