Questionnaires, interviews, and reviews of documents are used to collect the data. The result of this research shows that there is a very high level of awareness of the need for English among Mandiri bank employees because it is needed in various bank functions, especially when dealing with foreign customers. Although the English language is indispensable in banks’ work, in reality, it is in contrast to the real condition in the office.

Insufficient or limited vocabularies, a lack of self-confidence, highly considered errors in using English, and different educational backgrounds also become problems for Mandiri bank employees.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of implementing e-Noken, a digital literacy medium based on local Papuan culture, in improving the language ability and character building of students at SMA Oikumene Kota Sorong. The study used a pre experimental one group pretest posttest design with a mixed methods approach, involving 32 students as participants through purposive sampling. The research instruments included language ability tests, character strengthening questionnaires, participatory observation, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative analysis results showed a significant increase in language ability, with an average pre-test score of 38.44 and a post-test score of 77.66, as well as a gain of 0.7658 (high category). Questionnaire analysis showed participants’ positive perceptions of the implementation of e-Noken, both in terms of ease of use and its impact on character building. The interview results reinforced these findings, showing that e-Noken encourages discipline, responsibility, and appreciation for local culture. Although the direct correlation between the implementation of e-Noken and the variables of language ability and character building was not significant, there was a very strong relationship between language ability and character building (r = 0.930, p < 0.01). This study confirms that the integration of local culture-based digital literacy media has a dual impact: it improves academic ability while instilling character values, in line with 21st-century educational goals and learning principles.
