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

In an era of globalization, preserving local cultural values while developing English proficiency presents a significant challenge, particularly in culturally rich regions like Bali, Indonesia. This study explores an innovative approach to addressing this challenge by integrating the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana (THK) into English language storytelling performances of primary school students in Denpasar. Through qualitative analysis of 40 students’ storytelling performances and in-depth interviews with six competition winners, this research reveals the profound potential of culturally responsive language education. The findings demonstrate that young learners can effectively internalize and creatively express traditional values through a foreign language medium, seamlessly incorporating concepts of parhyangan (human-divine relationship), pawongan (human-human relationship), and palemahan (human-nature relationship) into their narratives. Notably, students displayed a sophisticated ability to apply these ancient principles to contemporary issues, challenging assumptions about the dichotomy between global language acquisition and local cultural preservation. The study uncovers a synergistic model where English becomes a tool for cultural expression and evolution, rather than a threat to traditional values. This approach not only enhances language skills but also deepens cultural understanding and fosters a strong sense of identity. By bridging the gap between global communication needs and local wisdom, this research opens new avenues for developing culturally responsive English language teaching methodologies. The integration of THK in English storytelling performances emerges as a promising model for nurturing linguistic competence, cultural awareness, and creative expression, potentially revolutionizing language education in culturally diverse, non-native English speaking contexts.

Abstract

This study employs critical discourse analysis to examine recent advertising campaigns for mobile phones, focusing on a leading global brand. Conducted purely for academic purposes and not reflecting any official brand positions, our research uses a qualitative approach combining Fairclough’s 3D model and Kress and Van Leeuwen’s social semiotics theory. We analyze both textual and visual aspects of 2023 mobile phone advertisements to decode underlying ideologies. Our multimodal critical analysis reveals how linguistic and visual techniques construct aspirational yet constricting identities and lifestyles revolving around constant consumption of mobile technology. Findings demonstrate that these ads exert rhetorical power by addressing perceived shortcomings in target audiences’ lives and positioning new products as indispensable solutions. Imperatives compel viewers to envision improved lifestyles necessitating regular upgrades, while vibrant images of confident models reinforce ideological influence. This study showcases how critical discourse analysis can uncover subtle sociocultural assumptions and mechanisms of rhetorical influence in mobile technology promotions. It exposes how ads promise meaningful change but ultimately deliver superficial upgrades that sustain corporate interests. The key insight is that while ads link consumption to aspirational identities, a critical examination reveals this diversionary focus hinders pursuit of genuine social change. Our analysis contributes to the broader understanding of advertising discourse and its societal implications.

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

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.

Abstract

This research aimed at developing an e-portfolio-based learning module integrated with multi- learning media platforms in engaging students’ learning. Seventy-seven students were involved in this study. They are sophomores at a vocational college in Business Administration Department in the academic year 2021/2022. This study is a research and development typed research by implementing design-based research (DBR) to develop a digital learning module based on e-portfolio principles. Three things were accomplished as a result of this research's implementation. First, the results of the needs analysis of students who are still getting English lectures at this moment (current learners), followed by the findings of observer observations in the classroom learning implementation. Second, the outcomes of designing and creating e- portfolio-based instructional materials in the form of a digital module that is connected to various digital platforms with the aid of QR codes. The analysis findings about the efficiency of using produced electronic modules come in third. The result of the current learners’ perception showed that the implementation of the e-portfolio learning model was able to improve student's learning achievements, however, the urgency in developing a digital module integrated with a multi-learning media platform was necessarily taken into account. Moreover, a digital module was designed based on the students’ needs and digitalization era 4.0. Consequently, the outcome of the digital module's development had a favorable impact on students' engagement to learn in a blended learning environment.
