Abstract

Community service underpinned within English for tourism is rarely conducted to the practitioners. Whereas, it is urgent to do that residents living in the tourism spots and are intensely mingled in the tourism services need knowledge and skills in both communication and tourism insights. These skills will be helpful for them to interact more potential tourists to come. One of them is the tourist attraction of Bandulu beach, Anyer, Banten. In connection with this, concrete steps to provide practical English training for residents around the tourist area must be implemented immediately to improve English proficiency which is one of the reasons why the tourists visit the tourist attraction. Local government data states that only 1-5% of visitors to Bandulu beach tourism are foreign tourists. That is, if in 1 month there are 1000 visitors then only 10 to 50 foreign tourists. In fact, Wiyatno (2013) stated that foreign tourist visits to Indonesia have increased almost every year. The potential number of foreign tourists should be supported by human resources with tourism insight and proficiency in foreign languages, especially good English so that communication with general English in the tourism sector can be carried out. Master, P. (1998,) said the need for mastery of English is increasing along with the need for professionals in the tourism sector. From the results of a brief interview with one of the food vendors on Bandulu Beach, communication failures often occur when foreign tourists ask for information on traditional Betawi food available around this tourist spot. The limitations of the surrounding community to communicate in English made foreign tourists not get a satisfactory answer. This problem will have a negative impact in the form of a lack of interest in the tourist attraction, especially for foreign tourists. therefore, English for Tourism for traders in Bandulu Beach is urgent to be implemented.

Abstract

This study examines how varied writing practices influence the writing performance and emotional responses of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Given that writing is widely regarded as one of the most demanding language skills, particularly in foreign language contexts, the research focuses on the integration of project-based learning, dialogue journals, automated writing evaluation (AWE), and self-regulated learning (SRL). The aim is to assess their effects on key aspects of writing: grammar, vocabulary, content, coherence, text length, and writing anxiety. Employing an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, the study involved 20 B2-level EFL students, equally assigned to experimental and control groups. Over an eight-week period, both groups completed structured weekly writing tasks, but the experimental group received supplementary instruction incorporating the four targeted writing strategies. A holistic scoring rubric was used to assess writing performance, and focus group interviews were conducted to capture learners’ perceptions. Quantitative analysis revealed that the experimental group demonstrated statistically significant improvement in grammar and vocabulary, with no notable gender differences. Thematic analysis of the qualitative data yielded two main themes: (1) challenges in the writing process, such as idea generation and coherence, and (2) increased motivation and heightened grammar awareness. Students reported that despite initial difficulties—especially related to translation and coherence—the implemented practices enhanced their motivation and confidence. These findings highlight the pedagogical value of integrating structured, varied writing activities into EFL instruction. The study concludes by recommending broader adoption of such practices to promote both linguistic competence and affective growth in language learners.

The reflection covers the opportunities they obtain, barriers they face and how they deal with hybrid learning. Methods: The students’ reflection will be obtained through the questionnaire and observation during the onsite and remote learning activities. The observation will be conducted within 6 months in order to have eligible data. Findings: The writers hope that the further findings will portray the students’ reflection in implementation of hybrid classes. Moreover, it is expected to enlighten the effectiveness and simplicity of remote learning and onsite learning environments.
