| Implementation of Unggah-Ungguh Basa in the Etiquette of Communicating using Javanese on Social Media INTRODUCTION Nowadays, almost everyone uses social media as a means of communication and selfexpression.
Various types of social media platforms have emerged along with technological Social media is the most modern means of communication.
Zainta et al.
explain that social media is a way to communicate with each other online, allowing people to interact without the constraints of time and space.
It seems that no one is immune to the proliferation of social media platforms.
Social media falls into the new media category.
New media is a digital communication technology device that has a broad reach for its users and functions as a communication tool (Manurung et al.
It is undeniable that communication tools are constantly evolving.
The emergence of various types of mobile phones has been followed by an increasing number of social media platforms, such as TikTok.
Facebook.
Threads.
Instagram.
WhatsApp.
Telegram, and so on.
Each social media platform offers its own advantages and competes to attract as many users as possible.
The increasingly comprehensive features offered by each social media platform make it easier for users to communicate.
Communication via social media, which is not limited by time and space, naturally leads to increased use of social media as a means of communication.
However, this creates a gap when the more people communicate through social media, the more people neglect communication etiquette.
Communication etiquette encompasses manners and politeness.
The purpose of maintaining polite language is to maintain smooth interactions and communication (Putri et al.
, 2.
The younger generation, especially students in schools, increasingly uses Javanese or even Indonesian in everyday communication.
As part of Javanese society, this is certainly concerning.
The pressure to master a foreign language is also a factor in the decline in the number of Javanese This is evident in the learning process in schools, which often teach foreign languages over Javanese.
This is due to the lack of attention given by some parties who consider Javanese an unimportant subject (Chotimah et al.
, 2.
Javanese is only considered a local content subject and is often neglected with a relatively short study time of only one to two hours per week.
Many people currently believe there's a crisis in the ability to speak Javanese correctly.
Furthermore, training for students is expected to equip them, as the next generation, to preserve Javanese culture, particularly the Javanese language.
This is important considering that students in schools are part of a social group that frequently engages in community activities.
These activities naturally require good language communication skills.
This is where mastering Javanese language, including appropriate manners and politeness, according to the context of the situation, is crucial.
This aligns with Retnoningsih .
, who stated that previous generations described behavior and conduct as appropriate to the Javanese language's These levels are known as unggah-ungguh basa.
On this occasion, the object of the problem among students is the less than optimal mastery of language, especially Javanese.
Language proficiency referred to in this context includes spoken and written language in various social media.
The Javanese language emphasized is Javanese with good manners and politeness when they communicate through social media.
The application of Javanese cultural etiquette is accustomed through modeling and habituation from parents in terms of socializing within the family, school, and community environment based on unggah-ungguh, etiquette, and cultural values (Apriliani & Dewi, 2.
Based on the above background, the community service team realized that the use of language in communication requires a high level of etiquette and politeness.
In accordance with the Javanese language-based study program and research group, this community service focuses on the use of Javanese language that incorporates etiquette and politeness.
This community service will be implemented at a junior high school in Surakarta City.
The target of this junior high school is because junior high school-aged teenagers are among the largest users of social media.
Furthermore, schools are also an appropriate target, considering that this training will ultimately bring benefits and its sustainability can be further developed through education in schools.
This community service activity is crucial and necessary considering that in the post-pandemic era, students are increasingly using social media for communication.
Therefore, training is needed to familiarize students with proper etiquette and manners when communicating in Javanese on social This community service activity, targeting school students, is expected to contribute to the preservation of the Javanese language by the Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Jawa.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Social media has become the most widely used means of communication and interaction.
Various social media platforms are constantly evolving.
TikTok.
Instagram.
Threads.
Facebook.
WhatsApp, and Telegram are just a few of the dominant platforms.
The dominance of social media as a communication tool is inextricably linked to various technological advances.
Communicating on social media inevitably involves using language as a medium.
Every human being uses language to interact with others.
Effective communication requires a good command of the language.
Good language is communicative and frequently used in both spoken and written There's something concerning about the use of language on social media.
The freedom to communicate sometimes makes people forget that social media communication also requires etiquette and good manners.
This forgotten etiquette and good manners can have a negative impact on users.
We often encounter impolite words or sentences that ultimately have detrimental consequences for users, especially teenagers.
It's not uncommon for issues with communication on social media to end up in court.
Social media, or online media, is currently the most frequently used medium by students.
They use social media almost daily and at every opportunity.
To avoid negative consequences when communicating on social media, students must be mindful of the language they use.
One way a person's personality is reflected in their language.
If someone can speak with good manners and politeness, in accordance with the unggah-ungguh basa, then it's certain that the young person possesses noble character, politeness, and morals.
Mistakes in the application of unggah-ungguh basa are common in social media This occurs because students often use Indonesian when communicating with teachers, staff, and colleagues during meetings or formal events.
Based on these issues, the community service team is working to address them through various efforts, one of which is conducting training on the proper use of unggah-ungguh basa, in accordance with polite language, etiquette, and politeness, among students, especially when communicating on social media.
This community service activity was carried out at SMP Negeri 2 Surakarta.

Unggah-ungguh basa Jawa are variations in which the differences between one and another are determined by the differences in politeness between the speaker (O.
and the conversation partner (O.
These variations manifest in different words but have the same meaning, for example rambutrikma, mangan-nedha-dhahar, turu-tilem-sare, and so on.
To better appreciate the community service activities carried out by the Pendidikan Bahasa Jawa study program, the description of the results achieved will be presented in both Javanese and Indonesian.
Krama Javanese language training for students and pupils at school aims to foster a love and respect for the Javanese language as part of Javanese culture.
The use of krama Javanese is expected to foster noble character and good manners among young people.
Furthermore, the etiquette of communicating with others via social media is also discussed.
As we know, the pandemic has required us to spend more time at home and avoid activities involving large crowds, making social media a crucial tool.
However, students often forget that communication on social media also requires proper etiquette and manners.
Therefore, material on communicating using Javanese on social media is also emphasized.
The presentation by the community service team received a positive response from the participants, as evidenced by the numerous discussions and questions raised.
The results showed that junior high school students had a better understanding of Javanese language etiquette in the digital space and were able to identify and apply appropriate forms of polite language in various online communication situations.
This activity demonstrated the effectiveness of a local culture-based educational approach in fostering awareness of polite and ethical language among the younger Local wisdom values, such as unggah-ungguh basa, need to be continuously internalized in language education, particularly in the context of today's digital communication.
