Abstract

Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan studi kasus kualitatif untuk mengeksplorasi faktor-faktor psikologis dan strategi komunikasi yang memengaruhi kinerja berbicara bahasa Inggris di antara siswa kelas sebelas Jurusan Tata Boga di SMKN 4 Mataram selama interaksi kelas terbatas pada tahun akademik 2024/2025. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi kelas, kuesioner, dan dokumentasi, dan dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif Miles dan Huberman melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan, didukung oleh triangulasi untuk memastikan validitas. Temuan tersebut mengungkapkan bahwa kecemasan adalah faktor psikologis yang paling dominan, ditunjukkan melalui kegelisahan siswa, jeda yang lama, dan berbicara dengan suara yang sangat rendah. Kepercayaan diri yang rendah juga membatasi kemauan mereka untuk berpartisipasi, sementara motivasi, meskipun umumnya tinggi karena aspirasi karier, tidak selalu menghasilkan kinerja berbicara aktif. Untuk mengatasi faktor-faktor ini, siswa menggunakan beberapa strategi komunikasi, di antaranya strategi sosial seperti meminta bantuan teman sebaya adalah yang paling sering dan efektif digunakan. Strategi kompensasi dan strategi penghindaran juga digunakan tetapi kurang efektif. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa guru bahasa Inggris di sekolah kejuruan harus merancang lebih banyak kegiatan berbicara yang kolaboratif dan suportif untuk menurunkan kecemasan siswa, membangun kepercayaan diri, dan memperkuat keterampilan komunikasi dalam konteks Bahasa Inggris untuk Tujuan Tertentu (ESP).

Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of the Mind Mapping technique in improving the English writing skills of tenth-grade students at SMKN 1 Pujut. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, involving two groups: an experimental class (X AP 1, 30 students) taught with Mind Mapping and a control class (X AP 3, 30 students) taught with conventional methods. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests of descriptive writing, and then scored based on content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics, and analyzed using SPSS with normality tests, homogeneity tests, and an Independent Samples t-test. The scores of the experimental group increased by 36.87 to 87.27 and the scores of the control group increased by 41.3 to 81.30 and statistical data confirmed that there was a significant difference (t = -5.207, p < 0.001). These findings showed that Mind Mapping was effective in terms of improving students in terms of organizing ideas, vocabulary and the quality of writing as a whole. One can conclude that Mind Mapping is a helpful teaching tool that encourages the development of creativity, logical thinking, and writing confidence, which makes it very helpful to both the teacher and the learner. Future studies could explore the long-term retention of writing skills acquired through Mind Mapping and investigate its effectiveness across different genres of writing and diverse learner populations.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of using animation videos as a teaching medium to improve students’ vocabulary mastery at SMPN 16 Mataram. The study addressed the problem of low vocabulary achievement caused by conventional and less engaging teaching methods in English classrooms. A quantitative approach was employed using a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. The sample consisted of 32 eighth-grade students of class VIII C in the academic year 2024/2025. The instrument used was a validated vocabulary test comprising 20 items in the form of multiple-choice and matching questions. The data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test with the assistance of SPSS 25. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary scores, with the mean score increasing from 58.91 in the pre-test to 85.63 in the post-test. The significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) was 0.000, which was lower than 0.05. These findings indicate that animation videos provide an engaging learning experience and effectively enhance students’ vocabulary mastery at the junior high school level.

Abstract

Language and culture are inseparable aspects of communication, particularly in cultural tourism, where tour guides function as mediators between local communities and international visitors. This study aims to investigate how linguaculture is represented by tour guides in Sade Village, Central Lombok, during their interactions with foreign tourists in English. A qualitative descriptive design was employed. The primary data consisted of English conversations between tour guides and tourists, collected through observation, audio recordings, and field notes. The data were analyzed using the linguaculture framework with translational and ethnographic approaches to identify the representation of local vocabulary and local knowledge. The research finds that the linguacultural manifestations of the tour guides in Sade Village are realized in two aspects. First, there is the incorporation of Sasak vocabulary into English-language interactions. Second, the transfer of material and social local knowledge through “expert talk” strategies to manage gaps in understanding (rich points). With this approach, the tour guides can successfully convey the Sasak philosophical values and cultural identity and turn them into meaningful and educational stories for international tourists.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the English communication challenges faced by hospitality receptionists at Sheraton Hotel Lombok and the strategies they used to overcome them. This study employed a descriptive qualitative research design, which was chosen to gain an in-depth understanding of the participants' real experiences and perspectives regarding English communication difficulties in their daily workplace interactions. The participants were eight receptionists working at the front desk of Sheraton Hotel Lombok, selected using purposive sampling to represent variations in age, gender, educational background, and years of work experience. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, each lasting approximately 30–45 minutes, and analyzed using thematic analysis following the six-phase framework developed by Braun and Clarke (2021). The findings revealed that the main challenges encountered were limited vocabulary, pronunciation and accent difficulties, and lack of confidence and fluency in speaking English. To address these challenges, the receptionists employed various communication strategies, including using simple English, employing body language and gestures, listening carefully to guests, politely asking guests to repeat information, practicing English regularly, and utilizing translation applications such as Google Translate. The findings have practical implications for English language training in the hospitality industry, suggesting that training programs should be designed to focus on situation-based communication, accent comprehension, and confidence-building activities rather than general English instruction alone. This study concludes that continuous English training and communication practice are essential for improving receptionists' communication skills and providing better service to international guests.
