Abstract

This study examines the learning strategies of non–English major students and evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of A Basic Textbook in English for Communication as a communicative instructional resource in higher education. Persistent challenges in students’ speaking performance, including limited fluency, frequent first language reliance, communication anxiety, and avoidance strategies underscore the need for structured and contextually relevant learning materials. The study employed a research and development (R&D) approach adapted from the Borg and Gall model, encompassing needs analysis, textbook design, expert validation, limited field testing, and effectiveness evaluation. Data were collected through expert validation instruments, speaking performance tests, classroom observations, and student response questionnaires. Expert validation results indicated a high level of feasibility, with mean scores ranging from 4.21 to 4.32 across content, pedagogy, and media design aspects. Effectiveness testing showed a significant improvement in students’ speaking performance, with the mean score increasing from 65.4 (pre-test) to 82.7 (post-test). The instructional impact was further supported by a high effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.12), indicating a strong practical effect of the textbook intervention. Improvements were observed across all speaking components, including fluency, accuracy, vocabulary, pronunciation, and interaction. Qualitative findings revealed a notable shift in students’ communication strategies from avoidance behaviors toward more productive strategies such as paraphrasing, self-repair, circumlocution, and clarification requests, reflecting increased confidence and willingness to communicate. Overall, the findings demonstrate that a task-based, communicative English textbook can effectively enhance both linguistic competence and strategic language use among non–English major students in Indonesian higher education.

Abstract

Manajemen korespondensi merupakan komponen vital dalam administrasi sekolah, karena secara langsung memengaruhi efektivitas komunikasi institusional dan proses pengambilan keputusan. Namun, dalam praktiknya, banyak sekolah masih mengelola korespondensi masuk dan keluar menggunakan prosedur manual, yang dapat menyebabkan berbagai inefisiensi administratif. Kondisi ini juga diamati di SMK Wira Kesuma Jaya, di mana proses pencatatan, penyimpanan, dan pengambilan arsip korespondensi belum terintegrasi secara digital. Melalui Program Kemitraan Masyarakat (PKM), tim dosen dari STMIK Pelita Nusantara merancang dan mengimplementasikan sistem korespondensi sekolah berbasis web sebagai solusi untuk meningkatkan efektivitas administrasi. Sistem ini dikembangkan untuk mendukung manajemen terstruktur surat masuk dan keluar, memungkinkan pengarsipan digital, dan memfasilitasi proses pemusnahan korespondensi. Implementasi sistem dilakukan melalui sesi sosialisasi, pelatihan, dan pendampingan berkelanjutan bagi personel sekolah. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa sistem korespondensi berbasis web berkontribusi pada proses administrasi yang lebih cepat, mengurangi kesalahan pencatatan, dan meningkatkan organisasi serta keamanan arsip dokumen. Lebih lanjut, implementasi sistem ini mendukung percepatan transformasi digital dalam tata kelola administrasi sekolah secara berkelanjutan.
