Abstract

This article investigates the challenges faced in teaching English for Business (EFB) to students taking a vocational education program at LPP Quantum, one of the vocational education institutions in Sampit City. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, direct classroom observations, and analysis of learning documents to obtain a comprehensive picture of the problems that arise in the teaching process. The results of the study reveal a number of significant obstacles, such as limited English vocabulary relevant to the business world, low motivation to learn among students, lack of initial understanding of the business context, and limited learning support facilities available. These factors collectively affect the effectiveness and success of teaching Business English in the context of vocational education. Therefore, this study recommends the need for the implementation of a more adaptive, contextual, and responsive pedagogical approach to students' needs, as well as the importance of institutional support in creating a conducive and industrially relevant learning environment.

Abstract

Improving the quality of human resources in rural areas is a significant challenge in achieving equal education in Indonesia, particularly in areas such as Tumbang Nusa Village, Jabiren Raya District, Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan. Low awareness of the importance of education and limited access to English language learning are factors that hinder the development of the younger generation's potential. This community service activity aims to increase the awareness and basic English language skills through a participatory and contextual approach based on the school community. The implementation method includes interactive training, song-based and visual learning, and joint reflection, face-to-face at partner schools. The results of the activity demonstrated high enthusiasm among participants, active engagement in the learning process, and increased motivation to learn English. This activity also strengthened collaboration between the community service team, the village, and the school as local partners. This activity suggests that the contextual and communicative approach is effective in developing learning awareness and language skills among students living in rural areas.
