Abstract

This study explores a linguistic approach to teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) tailored for food service students in hospitality programs. The hospitality industry requires a specific set of English communication skills, especially in food service, where language proficiency directly impacts customer satisfaction. This research examines how a linguistic framework enhances learning and helps students develop specialized vocabulary, listening, and speaking skills critical to their future careers. The findings demonstrate that a linguistic approach to ESP significantly improves students' communication ability in food service environments. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of ESP in preparing students for professional competence in the hospitality industry. Mastery of vocabulary and communication skills is essential for students pursuing careers in the hospitality industry, where clear and effective interaction with clients and colleagues is crucial. A Linguistic Approach to Teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) offers a comprehensive solution to these needs, focusing on the practical application of language in real-world situations. The findings emphasize the importance of tailored ESP education in preparing hospitality students for professional competence, with a focus on practical language application that directly impacts customer satisfaction. This linguistic approach offers a well-rounded solution for developing essential communication skills, positioning students to succeed in the dynamic hospitality industry

Abstract

This study explores EFL students' perceptions of linking words in writing at Bali International Language Center (BILCEN). Linking words, essential tools for achieving coherence and cohesion in writing, are often a challenge for EFL learners. This research aims to gain a deeper understanding of how students perceive the importance of linking words and how their use influences their writing skills. A qualitative approach was employed, with 15 EFL students enrolled in the English course at BILCEN as participants. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and writing samples, which allowed for an exploration of students' personal experiences, thoughts, and challenges when using linking words in their written work. The analysis of interview responses and writing samples revealed that students recognized the significance of linking words in making their writing clearer and more organized. However, many students expressed challenges in using them correctly, often due to limited exposure or understanding of their varied functions. The findings suggest that while linking words are essential for enhancing writing coherence, students may benefit from more focused instruction and practice in using these words effectively. This research highlights the need for EFL programs to prioritize teaching linking words as part of developing students' writing proficiency.

Abstract

In the digital age, social media has profoundly influenced communication styles, raising concerns about its impact on formal writing skills. Understanding this influence is crucial, as informal writing habits may affect academic writing quality among non-native English learners. Although social media’s role in shaping language use has been widely recognized, there remains a noticeable gap in the literature between theoretical understanding and practical evidence of how these informal styles translate into academic writing practices. To address this gap, the present study examines how social media writing styles influence paragraph composition skills among non-native English learners. The primary aim is to explore how informal language use on social media platforms affects grammar, sentence structure, and coherence in academic paragraphs. To achieve this, a qualitative approach was employed, involving 15 randomly selected students from Akademi Komunitas MAPINDO. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, analysis of social media content, and a review of academic writing samples. The instruments included structured interview questions and a coding scheme for analyzing both social media content and writing samples. The procedures involved identifying patterns and discrepancies between informal social media writing and formal academic writing. Findings indicate that students frequently transfer informal writing practices from social media into their academic work, including slang, abbreviations, and non-standard grammar. These practices often disrupt the clarity and coherence of their paragraphs. Nevertheless, students demonstrated awareness of the influence of social media on their writing. The study concludes that incorporating social media literacy into the curriculum and developing strategies to address informal writing practices can enhance students’ paragraph composition skills. This approach will help bridge the gap between informal and formal writing styles, thereby improving academic writing quality among non-native English learners.

Abstract

This study analyzes the evolution of motivation among local employees within the Indonesian tourism sector, particularly in Bali, utilizing a temporal narrative qualitative approach. The primary goal is to map how the interplay between historical motivation (past), current work motivation (present), and long-term career aspirations (future) collectively affects Service Quality and Retention Intention within the industry. Data were gathered through in-depth narrative interviews focusing on the experiences of My Past, My Present, and My Future from 14 tourism employees. The thematic analysis revealed that employee motivation is not static but evolves incrementally. It begins with extrinsic factors rooted in family, the desire to make parents proud and reciprocate their sacrifices, and the drive for self-validation serving as an initial anchor of resilience. This external motivation is subsequently internalized in the present phase into Intrinsic Regulation, manifested through Discipline, Consistency, and Self-Improvement. This discipline and consistency are crucial prerequisites for delivering stable service quality (deep acting) on the frontlines. Furthermore, Long-Term Retention Intention is driven by a broader vision: Purpose-Driven Motivation. In this final phase, future aspirations transcend personal financial gain, focusing instead on Social Impact, Job Creation, and Legacy for the Community. This temporal model asserts that employee retention in the tourism industry, which is highly susceptible to high turnover rates, can be significantly enhanced not only through compensation but also by aligning organizational goals with the individual's search for meaning and social contribution.

Abstract

This study investigates the motivational trajectory of Indonesian college students, examining the dynamic shifts that occur from their foundational past experiences to their articulation of future career ambitions. Employing an interpretive qualitative design rooted in narrative inquiry, this study analyzed rich, in-depth interview data from 13 participants (N=13), focusing on their lived motivational experiences across three distinct temporal phases: past, present, and future. Interpreted through the integrated frameworks of Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and the L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS), the findings document a critical psychological evolution. Initial motivation (the ought-to self) was characterized as controlled and extrinsic, primarily stemming from filial obligation and the intense desire for external familial validation, such as "making parents proud.” The current academic phase marks a crucial shift toward identified regulation, characterized by a deliberate focus on self-discipline, procedural consistency and mastery of competencies. Looking forward, career projections reveal a transformation into the ideal self, transcending mere personal success to embrace the eudaimonic goals of social contribution and legacy creation, often channelled through entrepreneurship. This research highlights adversity as a powerful catalyst in this internalizing process, fostering increased autonomy and self-efficacy. It concludes that genuine, enduring motivation in this student population is inextricably linked to a long-term, integrated self-guide centered on meaningful community impact and relatedness, moving beyond purely material aspirations.
