English educational tourism (EET) is a new breakthrough in the tourism industry in eastern Indonesia, carrying the concept of a global village to promote economic development, education, and tourism. Research on this topic has been well documented in the literature; however, it is necessary to understand the communal attitudes from a local community perspective. It seeks to explore the public’s perception of this innovation based on three dimensions of attitude: (affective, behavioral, and cognitive). This study employed an exploratory case study through an online self-perception survey and interviews with the local communities. Data generated from the online survey and focus group interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. As a result, the study found that local communities have positive emotions (thoughts and feelings) towards the global village initiative and generally believe that it will bring significant contributions to the local communities’ economic growth, education, and tourism. Thus, they will participate and take necessary actions to promote the village in the global societies. This program will enhance community economic growth, English immersion education, and the tourism industry in eastern Indonesia. In other words, this village will catalyze the growth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the hospitality industries, such as transportation, accommodation, recreation, and food and beverage businesses.

This systematic literature review (SRL) examines the impact of English educational tourism (EET) on the growth of local Small-Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Through a comprehensive search of academic databases and systematic assessment of study quality, a total of 49 studies were selected for inclusion. The studies varied in design, location, and intervention, but all focused on the relationship between English educational tourism and the growth of local SMEs. This SLR focuses on the typology of SMEs in EET, its impact on rural economy and local community empowerment, and SMEs’ challenges in growing their businesses. The findings suggest that English educational tourism can have a positive impact on local SMEs and rural communities, including increased revenue, community empowerment, cultural preservation, and poverty reduction. However, it is crucial to ensure that the benefits of EET are distributed fairly and that local communities are actively involved in the decision-making process to maximize positive impacts and mitigate potential negative impacts. Overall, the results suggest that English educational tourism can be a promising strategy for promoting the growth of local economy, but more research is needed to fully understand the conditions under which this impact is most effective.

The majority of EFL students lack adequate vocabulary knowledge and become frustrated when they cannot comprehend the meaning of key vocabulary terms in a passage. The study aims to determine whether short Islamic stories can improve the vocabulary acquisition of novice EFL learners. It uses quantitative research by applying a pre-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test. The study involves 30 novice EFL students enrolled in the Basic Translation course at the English Language Education department, Islamic State University of Sultan Aji Muhammad Idris Samarinda. To determine the significance of the short Islamic study to the student's vocabulary significance, the study applied a vocabulary test containing a matching test, a word meaning test, a vocabulary test, and a pronunciation and spelling test. The findings of the study revealed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-tests due to the treatment. The study's results refuted the null hypothesis. It was determined that there was substantial evidence regarding the effect of Islamic short stories on vocabulary acquisition. Further studies related to this study are needed considering the data provided in this pre-experimental design is still limited to the number of treatment groups.

Developments in education highlight the need for conventional learning approaches to evolve in response to technological advances in digitally integrated learning, including hybrid or digital learning approaches. Digital-based teaching in higher education has begun to be implemented comprehensively, although it is still full of challenges. This study aims to determine studentsâ€™ learning interest in digital-based instruction in the universities of East Kalimantan. It employed a purposive sample of 91 EFL students in their second and fourth semesters. This study reveals the potential for implementing digital-based instruction to support the increased interest in learning among EFL students in universities. It demonstrates the significance of digital learning as an adaptation of technological educational advances. However, implementing digital instruction in higher education is not effortless for students as end-users. Numerous students are resistant and unable to adjust to the shift towards online and digital learning. They tend not to participate actively in class and even ignore the material and assignments given. Therefore, these findings contribute to advancing future research on digital learning. They will also strengthen developments in digital learning based on user requirements and the learning context. In light of these findings, stakeholders in higher education need to make efforts to adjust the digital-based instruction applied to studentsâ€™ abilities and needs, as well as the context of the lectures being held. Further research is required to incorporate a broader range of substantial participants and diverse data in order to attain a more comprehensive understanding of studentsâ€™ learning interest in digital learning.

This study explores students’ engagement in a blended learning environment within an English Language Teaching (ELT) course at the English Language Education Study Program, Sultan Aji Muhammad Idris State Islamic University of Samarinda, Indonesia. Utilizing a descriptive survey design, the research combined quantitative data from Learning Management System (LMS) analytics with qualitative data from open-ended questionnaire responses to provide a comprehensive understanding of students' engagement patterns and perceptions. The findings revealed that while students generally demonstrated high levels of engagement, particularly in collaborative and discussion-based tasks, several challenges were also identified, including technical barriers, difficulties with digital literacy, and a desire for more synchronous interaction. Students expressed positive perceptions of the flexibility and accessibility offered by blended learning, although they also recommended improvements in LMS navigation and task instructions. Cultural factors, such as communal learning values, appeared to influence students' engagement behaviours. The study highlights the importance of designing interactive, supportive, and culturally responsive blended learning environments to optimize student engagement and learning outcomes in higher education.
