Abstract

In the hospitality industry, hotel information systems are predominantly operated in English, presenting linguistic challenges for staff with limited proficiency in English. This study aims to analyze the English comprehension ability of employees at Hotel Griya Sintesa Muara Enim, with a particular focus on their understanding of English-based hotel information systems. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected through a written vocabulary test (comprising 20 multiple-choice and matching items), semi-structured interviews, and documentation from 30 front-office and operational staff members. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed an average correct-response rate of 69.2% (mean score = 70.5), placing overall comprehension in the “Paham” (Understand) category. While most employees could operate the system functionally, difficulties persisted with technical terms such as PMS, interface, database error, and backup file. Key contributing factors include limited prior English training, infrequent exposure to technical vocabulary, and reliance on peer assistance. The findings suggest that staff's functional English proficiency is sufficient for daily operations but requires targeted support to enhance accuracy and confidence. Recommendations include implementing English for Hospitality Systems training, developing an in-house English terminology glossary, and establishing an internal mentoring program. This study underscores the importance of integrating language support into hospitality technology adoption to ensure operational efficiency and service quality.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze economics teachers ability to adapt technology-based learning media in the digital era and to identify the constraints and efforts involved in its implementation. The study employed a convergent mixed-methods design involving six economics teachers at SMA Negeri 4 Pekanbaru selected purposively. Quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire developed from DigCompEdu indicators and supported by validated and reliable instruments, while qualitative data were obtained through interviews and observations. The findings reveal that teachers ability to adapt technology-based media is in the very good category, reaching an overall score of 80.86%. Specifically, professional engagement reached 82.92%, digital resources 77.31%, teaching and learning 84.03%, assessment 79.17%, empowering learners 77.24%, and facilitating learners digital competence 84.09%. The main constraints were unstable internet access, limited device storage, and the need to adjust to newly introduced applications. The efforts undertaken include the use of multiple digital platforms, school-level provision of supporting infrastructure, and participation in technology-related professional development. These findings indicate that technology integration in economics learning has progressed positively; however, stronger infrastructure support and sustained professional development remain necessary to ensure more meaningful, interactive, and contextual technology use in classroom practice.
