Literature spanning various educational contexts, disciplines, and levels is systematically analysed to distil overarching conclusions about the effectiveness and impact of student-centred approaches in EFL instruction. The review critically examines methodologies, sample sizes, and key findings from selected studies, offering a nuanced understanding of the existing body of knowledge within the specific context of English proficiency development for diverse learners. The analysis focuses on key themes emerging from the reviewed literature, including student engagement, motivation, learning outcomes, and the development of critical thinking skills in the EFL context.

By synthesizing diverse findings within the EFL context, the study offers practical insights into designing and implementing effective student-centred strategies for teaching English for non-native speakers., thus contributing to the advancement of language education practices.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find out how the company, especially in the marketing division, builds customer brand awareness so that customers can recognize the company's products. Brand awareness is the first step to creating brand equity, where brand awareness refers to whether consumers can remember or recognize a brand, and brand awareness is related to the strength of the presence of a brand in consumers' memories. Brand awareness can be related to the cognitive aspect of consumers, where the more a brand can be remembered by consumers, the higher the level of brand awareness. Building brand awareness is important because before consumers buy a product, consumers will first recognize the brand of a product, especially for products that have high value. In the market, there are many companies that provide accommodation. By recognizing a particular brand of accommodation product, potential consumers' interest in buying a product that is already in their memory will be higher. This research is qualitative descriptive research where data is obtained directly as primary data using interview guides with several marketing staff, and observation. Meanwhile, secondary data was obtained from library sources both in the company and from online sources. All data is then collected, data reduction is carried out, tables are made, and analyzed and conclusions are drawn. The research results show that marketing really cares about Indonesia's demographic map, where more than 60% are millennials and Generation Z, where they are very connected to social media. There are several social media platforms used by marketing parties to build brand awareness, such as Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and WhatsApp, but there are indications that Instagram and TikTok are the platforms that are more popular with potential consumers.

Abstract

It is generally agreed that oral communication skill is given more priority in teaching ESP for tourism compared with written one, and so is it in Poltekpar Bali (Bali Tourism Polytechnic) that educates and trains students to work or become entrepreneurs in the fields of tourism. Therefore, oral assessment becomes crucial. However, conducting this using the most common technique (i.e. one-by-one interview) takes plenty of time. This study was to find out an efficient technique for assessing oral communication skill in ESP class at Poltekpar Bali. It was an empirical classroom action research that was based on a collection of experiences and observations continuously reviewed and developed by the teachers. It was found that group oral test was an efficient technique, in which a group of students of 4 to 6 was provided with a card containing a situation relevant to their vocational subjects. They had to discuss it for about 10 minutes. Through unobtrusive listening to the discussion, the teacher carried out the assessment. This article shows how to design ‘situation cards’ and provides several examples of the cards. It also describes the procedures to be followed in handling the test, including the stages before, during, and after the implementation. Furthermore, it suggests some tips when the discussion during the test is stuck or does not work.

Abstract

The growth of community-based tourism (CBT) in Indonesia has positioned homestays as a strategic avenue for rural economic empowerment, cultural preservation, and sustainable tourism development. In Bangli, Bali particularly in renowned tourism villages such as Pengelipuran and Undisan—homestays serve as key interfaces between local communities and international visitors. As English functions as the global lingua franca of tourism, oral English communication skills are essential for ensuring high-quality guest experiences. However, many homestay staff possess limited formal English training, raising concerns about their capacity to meet the communicative demands of international tourism. This study aims to assess the oral English communicative competence of Bangli homestay staff using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) as the evaluative benchmark. Drawing on the theoretical perspectives of communicative competence and integrating insights from tourism communication research, the study adopts a task-based assessment approach to measure performance in practical contexts such as facility descriptions, cultural explanations, and guest interaction scenarios. The findings are expected to provide a nuanced profile of staff competencies across CEFR levels, identify specific linguistic and strategic strengths and weaknesses, and inform targeted training interventions. By aligning language development initiatives with the operational realities of CBT settings, the study seeks to enhance service quality, strengthen cultural exchange, and contribute to the long-term sustainability of homestay programs in rural Bali. This research further adds to the academic discourse on English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in tourism, particularly within developing country contexts.
