Abstract

The research aims to analyze and develop a mobile-based grammar learning application and the perceptions of computer vocational high school students regarding the use of the application in the learning process. The main focus of this research is developing a mobile-based grammar application for computer users, which enhances students' independence in the grammar teaching process, along with examining how the application was put into practice. This learning media was created using the ADDIE Model, which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The waterfall method, dart programming language, and Flutter framework are used to create the application. After the implementation stage, this research used a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative survey data collected through Google Forms with Likert Scale and paragraph question types. The findings from this study shed light on the needs, attitudes, preferences, and feedback from students for improvement regarding the utilization of mobile grammar apps for language learning. The analysis shows that students have a positive experience when learning grammar using this app, as it allows them to extend their learning beyond the classroom without time and place restrictions. The data analysis provides valuable insights into the effectiveness and potential drawbacks of integrating such apps into the curriculum. These insights contribute to the ongoing discourse on technology integration in education and offer practical implications for educators, curriculum designers, and educational policymakers who want to improve language teaching through digital devices in vocational high schools.

Abstract

The English and guiding training conducted in Perean Village aims to improve the language and guiding skills of the members of the Pokdarwis group. This is expected to enhance the quality and services of the village as a tourist destination that advances in the future. The community engagement activity was carried out by the community service team from the Language Lab Unit at Politeknik Negeri Bali for 5 months, consisting of 5 stages of activities from proposal to evaluation. In its implementation, the community service team provided various methods of English and guiding training and learning to the Pokdarwis participants, including interactive games, speaking, listening, and writing. Interactive games provide an opportunity for participants to learn English without feeling pressured, which positively impacts their motivation to learn consistently. Furthermore, the combination of speaking, listening, and writing training also has the potential to efficiently develop participants' skills, which is essential for tour guides who require good English skills. However, the weakness of participants in recognizing English vocabulary provides an opportunity for the community service team to develop a more specific approach in improving the vocabulary of the participants. This approach is expected to have a positive and significant impact in improving the English skills of tour guides in Perean Village, Tabanan, Bali.

Abstract

This research examines the various ways in which EFL students and supervisors utilize politeness strategies when making requests in the process of thesis supervision through WhatsApp group communication. The study focuses on how factors such as power dynamics, social distance, and imposition influence the choice of linguistic strategies for making requests. A document study was employed to collect the data. The document was gathered from WhatsApp conversations between 26 students and 5 supervisors and analyzed using Blum-Kulka and Olshtain's situational classification and Brown and Levinson's politeness theory. The findings reveal that students tend to employ more negative politeness strategies, such as questioning, apologies, and expressions of gratitude when making requests to supervisors in order to mitigate potential threats to face. On the other hand, supervisors, due to their higher status positions, tend to use more direct strategies, such as obligations and imperatives, when making requests to students. However, the context also plays a role as supervisors exhibit politeness by using politeness markers in intra-supervisor requests. It concludes that power dynamics, social distance, and imposition ranking significantly influence the selection of politeness strategies, with wider power gaps leading to more negative strategies while familiar relationships foster direct communication. These findings suggest that understanding appropriate politeness strategies can enhance effective communication between students and supervisors and minimize potential miscommunication in cross-cultural academic environments.

Abstract

Vocational education emphasizes the development of practical skills aligned with industry needs. In today's digital era, English proficiency combined with the ability to adapt to technological advancements such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) is essential. AI-powered tools have begun to transform English language learning by offering personalized, adaptive, and interactive experiences. This systematic review aims to examine and synthesize the characteristics of AI-powered tools and their implementation in English language learning for vocational students, focusing on how these technologies support communication, industry-specific language use, and learner autonomy. This systematic review follows the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines to ensure a comprehensive and transparent review process. Data were gathered through searches in electronic databases including Scopus, ERIC, Google Scholar, and Web of Science using keywords such as “AI in language learning,” “vocational students,” “ESP,” and “English learning technology.” After screening based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 20 studies published between 2018 and 2024 were selected for analysis. A narrative synthesis was used to extract and organize key themes. The review identified the following characteristics of AI-powered tools used in vocational English education: real-time feedback, adaptive content delivery, speech recognition for speaking practice, and chatbot-based conversation simulation. These tools were mostly applied through mobile apps, web platforms, and LMS integration. The outcomes showed positive impacts on students’ speaking fluency, vocabulary acquisition, motivation, and engagement. AI-powered tools offer significant potential for enhancing English language learning in vocational settings by providing personalized and flexible learning pathways.

Abstract

Pelaksanaan pelatihan bahasa Inggris dan guiding di Desa Perean untuk para pokdarwis bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan bahasa Inggris dan guiding para anggota kelompok Pokdarwis sehingga mampu memberikan peningkatan kualitas mutu dan pelayanan desa dalam menjadi desa wisata yang maju kedepannya. Kegiatan pengabdian yang dilakukan oleh unit lab bahasa pusat Politeknik Negeri Bali ini dilakukan selama 5 bulan yang terdiri dari 5 tahapan kegiatan yang dimulai dari pengusulan kegiatan, dilanjutkan dengan persiapan, sosialisasi, pelaksanaan kegiatan dan terakhir yakni pelaksanaan evaluasi kegiatan. Dalam pelaksanaan pelatihan tim pengabdian memberikan beberapa metode pelatihan dan pembelajaran bahasa Inggris dan guiding kepada peserta Pokdarwis. Metode pelatihan yang diberikan antara lain pemberian games interaktif, berbicara, menyimak dan menulis bermanfaat bagi peningkatan kemampuan peserta untuk menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Adanya games interaktif memberikan kesempatan peserta untuk belajar bahasa Inggris tanpa merasakan beban. Hal ini akan berdampak positif terhadap keinginan atau motivasi para peserta didik untuk tetap konsisten belajar bahasa Inggris. Disamping itu, mengkombinasikan pelatihan berbicara, mendengarkan, dan menulis berpeluang untuk mengembangkan skill peserta didik dengan efisien. Kombinasi skill tersebut sangat dibutuhkan untuk bahasa Inggris bagi profesional contohnya pemandu wisata. Namun dengan sedikit lemahnya kemampuan peserta didik mengetahui kosa-kata bahasa Inggris, hal ini merupakan celah bagi peneliti maupun tim pengabdian kepada masyarakat selanjutnya untuk mengem-bangkan pendekatan yang lebih spesifik mengenai peningkatan kosakata bahasa Inggris para peserta. Pendekatan tersebut akan memberikan dampak positif dan signifikan terhadap kemampuan bahasa Inggris untuk pemandu wisata di Desa Perean, Tabanan, Bali.

Abstract

This research aimed at knowing the effectiveness of online learning design with an e-portfolio approach in increasing self-efficacy in speaking ability. Seventy-seven students were involved in this study. They are in the second semester of a vocational college in Business Administration Department in the academic year 2020/2021. This research is experimental research with implementing paired samples t-test as the measurement tool in knowing the effectiveness of e-portfolio based learning by finding the t score and the sig value before and after the implementation of the teaching method. The result of this study showed that e-portfolio based learning had a significant effect on the student's self-efficacy in their speaking ability. It was indicated by the value of the sig and t result from paired samples t-test analysis which was showed 0.000 as the sig value and -20.551 as the t count. The result of sig value which is below 0.05 and the t-count which is above t-table were clear indicators to argue that e-portfolio significantly impacted the student's self-efficacy in speaking ability. In this case, the variables of self-efficacy in speaking ability were improved significantly by the implementation of e-portfolio based learning. Even the implementation of e-portfolio brings many positive impacts on the students, some limitations lie on this method implementation. The limitation of this method lies in the time execution and the number of students who are taught by the lecturer.
