Abstract

This study investigates the distribution of language skills in English for Nusantara, an EFL textbook published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture for Grade VIII students at the junior secondary level (SMP/MTs). Employing a mixed-method design, the study quantifies the frequency of listening, speaking, reading, viewing, and writing activities across the five chapters and fifteen units of the textbook, and proposes adaptive pedagogical strategies for teachers to address observed skill gaps. The quantitative findings reveal a notable imbalance: reading dominates at 36.4% of all skill-labeled sections, while speaking, writing, and viewing each account for approximately 11-14%, despite being explicitly mandated competencies under the Kurikulum Merdeka. Listening receives moderate coverage at 27.3% but is heavily concentrated in Unit 1 of each chapter. The qualitative phase presents close analyses of selected textbook activities and proposes five practical modifications integrating underrepresented skills without disrupting thematic coherence. While grounded in the Indonesian EFL context, the analytical framework and proposed solutions offer transferable insights for curriculum designers and classroom teachers working with comparable secondary-level EFL materials in other settings.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in national economic development; however, many MSME actors struggle to compete due to poor product packaging quality. This community service program aimed to enhance the packaging design capabilities of MSME actors through structured training using smartphone applications. A total of 25 MSME participants from diverse product sectors completed a two-day, practice-based training program covering design principles, smartphone application usage, and regulatory labeling requirements. Pre- and post-training assessments, facilitator observations, and focus group discussions were employed to evaluate program outcomes. Results indicated that 84% of participant designs achieved market-ready or near-market-ready quality, with average knowledge scores improving by 67% and self-efficacy scores increasing by 74% relative to pre-training baselines. Participants reported strong intentions to continue using design applications independently and expressed confidence in the commercial potential of their redesigned packaging. The findings demonstrate that smartphone-based packaging design training is an effective, accessible, and cost-efficient approach to improving MSME product competitiveness and increasing sales value, with significant implications for digital empowerment and creative economy development.
