Abstract

This study presents a needs-based analysis and the development of an English language skills module specifically designed for front office employees at a local hotel in Batam, Indonesia. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach and the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), the module was developed based on Hutchinson & Waters' needs analysis framework. Data were collected through interviews with four front office employees, while two experts—a hotel manager and an ESP lecturer—validated the module. The analysis revealed that employees primarily struggled with listening comprehension, speaking fluency, and confidence when interacting with international guests. The findings imply that conducting a thorough needs analysis is crucial for developing effective English training materials in the hospitality industry. Without understanding the specific language challenges faced by front office employees, training programs risk being irrelevant or ineffective. This study highlights that a conducted needs analysis leads to more targeted, practical modules that directly address real workplace communication problems. It also underscores the importance of aligning training content with employee needs to improve service quality, enhance guest satisfaction, and strengthen the hotel’s role in supporting regional tourism growth.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate how structured drama activities supported by iterative teaching and peer evaluation could enhance learners’ pronunciation, fluency, and confidence in speaking English. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) was conducted to enhance the English-speaking abilities of tenth-grade students at one school in Batam through drama-based instruction. The study involved 44 students from Grade 10, who were selected based on document analysis indicating poor performance in speaking-related tasks. A systematic approach was utilized, which included a pre-test, two cycles of implementation, and a post-test. The pre-test results revealed that 59% of students were at Level 1 and 27% at Level 2, indicating serious deficiencies in pronunciation, fluency, and self-confidence. After the intervention, 100% of the students (n = 44) advanced to Level 3, representing a complete elimination of Level 1 and Level 2 classifications and a 52-point increase in average speaking scores (from M = 38.7 to M = 90.6). This improvement was achieved through structured drama activities such as monologues, role-plays, and improvisational skits supported by warm-up exercises, peer evaluation, and iterative teaching modifications. The findings confirm that drama is not only an effective practice-based strategy but also a theoretically grounded pedagogy aligned with Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory and Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, as it creates low-anxiety, interactive learning environments that facilitate authentic communication. The study contributes to both theory and pedagogy by demonstrating how scripted and improvised role-play can systematically transform learners’ oral proficiency in EFL classrooms while offering a replicable framework for adaptive, reflective language teaching.

Abstract: English proficiency from an early age plays a significant role in shaping the competence of the younger generation to face global challenges. At Sanggar Belajar Tembesi Sidomulyo, English learning is not yet optimal because the teachers lack a for-mal educational background in the field, causing students to have difficulty mastering basic vocabulary, pronunciation, and understanding instructions. This research aims to address this problem by implementing an Activity Based Learning (ABL) approach, which emphasizes active student involvement through direct activities such as games, songs, visual simulations, and pronunciation exercises. This activity was carried out in four sessions on July 22, July 25, July 29, and August 4, 2025. Evaluation results indi-cate notable improvement. Among the five participating students, four students (80%) showed an average 20% increase in basic vocabulary mastery compared to pre-activity levels. Ninety percent demonstrated clearer pronunciation, and all students (100%) re-ported feeling enthusiastic and more motivated to learn. These findings confirm that the Activity Based Learning (ABL) approach is effective in enhancing participation and learning motivation while creating an enjoyable and meaningful learning experience. All students expressed interest in joining similar activities in the future.
