Abstract

This is the second year of the community service team to assist a private institution, Yayasan Al-Kahfi of Palembang, which provides teaching assistance to the orphan and disadvantage children as one of its mission. English was one of the subjects taught there once in a week. The obstacles faced were the educational background of the instructors which were not linear with the English subject, the lack of experience on how to teach English for young learners, the lack of teaching media, the limited time of teaching English which was only about 50 minutes, and the range of age in the same group that varied from kindergarten to first until third elementary class. Therefore, an effective and efficient teaching and learning strategy was extremely important to be implemented. Since teaching English for young learners should be in a kind of fun and pleasing atmosphere, therefore enjoyable and entertaining activities as one of the strategy can be used for this issue. These kinds of activities made the students unconsciously as if they were playing not studying. Therefore, the team made and modified games rules as the learning media to ease the students in learning English in terms of memorizing the vocabularies and making simple sentences in a fun and pleasing activities. The games proved that the teaching and learning activities can be done extremely effective and efficient.

Abstract

Despite the growing integration of digital technology into English language instruction in vocational higher education, little research has explicitly looked at how technology-supported learning affects learner autonomy, English proficiency, and learning challenges among Indonesian vocational college students. This study examined how first-year students at Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya, Indonesia, learned English with the aid of technology based on their patterns of technology use, perceptions, contributions and challenges. Data from 474 students were gathered via an online survey utilizing a descriptive quantitative methodology, and descriptive statistics were used for analysis. The results showed that students regularly employed digital technologies to help them learn English (M=3.79, SD=0.95), with online videos, mobile applications, artificial intelligence (AI) tools, and online resources being widely used. Additionally, students showed positive perceptions of technology-supported English learning (M=3.98, SD=1.01), especially with regard to simple access to educational resources, heightened enthusiasm for learning, and enhanced comprehension of lessons. Additionally, it was believed that technology improved English language proficiency (M=3.92, SD=0.98), particularly speaking, listening, and reading. Additionally, the results demonstrated that technology fosters learner autonomy (M=3.81, SD=0.96) by allowing students to autonomously access resources, participate in self-directed learning, and assume more accountability for their educational journey. Despite these advantages, students reported a number of difficulties (M=3.40, SD=0.98), such as the need for more teacher supervision, inadequate internet access, technological difficulties, and learning distractions. Overall, the study shows that technology significantly improves vocational higher education students' English learning experiences, language growth, and learner autonomy. To optimize the advantages of technology-supported English learning, the results emphasize the significance of efficient technology integration, sufficient infrastructure, and pedagogical support.

Abstract

Through innovative technology and pedagogy-based training, this community service program sought to improve the professional competency of vocational English teachers. The primary issue found was the inadequate use of cutting-edge digital technology and student-centered pedagogy in vocational English classrooms, which had an impact on both student engagement and teaching effectiveness. Focus Group Discussions (FGD), seminars, and workshops were used in a professional development program for fifteen English instructors at SMKN 2 Palembang in order to address this problem. Teachers were able to investigate technology-enhanced learning platforms, creative teaching methods, digital assessment tools, and vocational-context English education through the program's collaborative and participatory techniques. Observations, interviews, surveys, and reflective assessment sheets were used to gather data. The results showed that teachers' comprehension and practical abilities in incorporating cutting-edge technology and pedagogy into classroom activities had considerable improvement from 13.33% before the training to 86.67% after the training. Teachers showed greater assurance when utilizing digital technologies to create interactive, student-centered learning resources. The sustainability of technology-based professional development programs was positively perceived by the participants. The program came to the conclusion that innovative technology and pedagogy-based training successfully enhanced the professional competency of vocational English teachers and promoted more flexible, interesting, and pertinent English learning strategies in vocational education settings.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the barriers to intercultural communication that Indonesian international students encounter in South Korea and to propose a solution. A qualitative descriptive methodology, utilizing in-depth interviews for data gathering, was employed. The study involved interviews with 27 IISMA recipients to gain insights into their experiences with intercultural communication. The results showed that participants struggled to communicate effectively with people from other cultures while studying in South Korea. These problems included anxiety, the assumption that people were more alike than different, ethnocentrism, assumptions, biases, language difficulties, and difficulties with nonverbal communication. This study identified methods to overcome intercultural communication obstacles, enabling international students to develop self-awareness and deepen their cultural understanding, thereby fostering positive relationships with peers, learning the Korean language, utilizing translation applications, being kind and leaving a positive impression on the South Korean local community.
