Abstract

This study examines the impact of radiotelephony practice on the speaking and listening skills of initial student pilots at the Lombok Institute of Flight Technology, emphasizing its role in developing essential communication competencies. Employing a pre-experimental design with pretest and posttest assessments, the research involved a sample of seven students. Standardized speaking and listening tests were used to collect data, which was analyzed using the paired T-test in SPSS software. The results demonstrated significant improvements in both speaking and listening skills, with T-test scores confirming statistical significance (p < 0.05). Speaking scores improved notably, with four students achieving fair scores and three attaining good scores in the posttest, compared to predominantly poor scores in the pretest. Listening skills also improved by an average of 20 points, although they remained within the poor classification, highlighting a critical area for further intervention. This study’s focus on initial student pilots offers a novel perspective, showcasing the potential of targeted radiotelephony practice in building foundational communication skills necessary for professional aviation roles. The findings underscore the need for continued practice and tailored strategies to address listening skill gaps, ensuring comprehensive communication proficiency for aspiring pilots.

Abstract

This study explores the autodidactic English learning strategies employed by local tour guides in Raja Ampat Island, a prominent marine tourism destination in eastern Indonesia. Due to limited access to formal language education, many guides independently develop their English skills to meet the communication demands of international tourism. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the study involved 10 participants through in-depth interviews and a structured questionnaire. Thematic analysis was used to interpret qualitative data, while descriptive statistics supported the quantitative insights. The findings reveal that tour guides employ diverse self-directed strategies, including setting personal learning goals, practicing English through direct interactions with tourists, mimicking native speakers, maintaining vocabulary notebooks, and using digital tools such as Google Translate, YouTube, and ELSA Speak. These strategies align with theoretical frameworks such as Heutagogy, Self-Directed Learning (SDL), and Constructivism. Among the most effective approaches was real-time communication with international visitors, offering authentic exposure and immediate language application. Despite their dedication, participants reported several challenges, including limited grammar knowledge, lack of corrective feedback, and irregular learning routines. However, their strong intrinsic motivation, adaptability, and problem-solving attitudes illustrate the potential of self-managed learning in remote areas. The study concludes that autodidactic learning can be a viable path for language development in tourism sectors where formal instruction is scarce. It also suggests the need for accessible digital resources and minimal structured support to optimize learning outcomes. These findings offer practical implications for language educators, tourism authorities, and policymakers interested in enhancing the communicative competence of tour guides in under-resourced regions.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Running Dictation technique in improving students’ writing skills, particularly in composing descriptive texts, among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 8 Doom. The objective of this research is to determine whether this active, collaborative strategy significantly enhances students' writing performance and learning interest. Employing a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test model, ten students participated in a series of instructional sessions utilizing Running Dictation as the core method. Data were collected through descriptive writing tests and a student interest questionnaire. Quantitative analysis using a paired sample t-test revealed a statistically significant improvement in writing scores, increasing from a pre-test mean of 60.00 to a post-test mean of 72.02 (p = 0.011). Additionally, 80% of students reported high to very high interest in the learning process, indicating strong engagement and motivation. These findings suggest that Running Dictation is an effective and enjoyable strategy for enhancing writing competence in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. The study offers practical implications for language teachers seeking interactive, low-cost methods to improve student writing outcomes.
