This research examines how English major students perceive the role of technology in their language learning. The study aims to investigate studentsâ€™ opinions, the technological tools they commonly utilize, the benefits and challenges they perceive, and to provide recommendations for enhancing the integration of technology in English education. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive method, data were gathered through a structured questionnaire containing closed-ended using linkert scale and open-ended questions. The participants comprised students from the English Language Education program at STKIP Persada Khatulistiwa Sintang, specifically those enrolled from semesters 2 to 8 who have experience using technology for learning English. The findings reveal that students regularly use a variety of digital tools, such as mobile applications, to aid their English learning. Participants express favorable views on technology, emphasizing its role in improving vocabulary, grammar, writing, and listening skills. Moreover, technology is perceived as a motivator that enhances engagement, boosts self-confidence, and promotes autonomy in the learning experience. Nevertheless, obstacles persist, such as technical issues, digital distractions, and insufficient structured guidance from educators. The study emphasizes the necessity of institutional support, which includes technical assistance, teacher training, and efficient strategies to reduce distractions. It advocates for a blended learning approach that integrates technology with conventional face-to-face methods to foster a more adaptable and effective educational environment.

This community service program aims to strengthen the eco-tourism potential of Betang Ensaid Panjang by improving the English communication skills of local youths and cultural practitioners in Gemba Raya Village, Kelam Regency. Although the village possesses rich Dayak Desa cultural assets and strong community hospitality, limited English proficiency has hindered residents from effectively presenting their heritage to international visitors. To address this issue, the program provides tourism-oriented English training that emphasizes functional vocabulary, guiding expressions, cultural interpretation, and confidence-building strategies. The implementation combines classroom instruction, role-play simulations, storytelling practice, and field-based guiding activities that reflect real eco-tourism settings. The training is facilitated by lecturers supported by students. Through this approach, participants develop greater fluency, accuracy, and confidence in interacting with international tourists, enabling them to communicate cultural knowledge more effectively. The outcomes of this program are expected to enhance visitor satisfaction, expand economic opportunities, and strengthen community participation in sustainable, culturally grounded tourism development. Ultimately, the initiative contributes to positioning Gemba Raya Village as a model for community-based eco-tourism empowerment in West Kalimantan.

This study investigates the transformation of pedagogical competence among sixth-semester EFL pre-service teachers during a Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL) practicum in kindergartens in Sintang. The study explores how sixth-semester English Language Education students from STKIP Persada Khatulistiwa navigate the shift from theoretical knowledge to real-life classroom practice in the even semester of Academic Year 2024/2025. Data were collected through reflective journals, semi-structured interviews, video recordings of teaching, and feedback from mentor teachers at partner kindergartens in Sintang. Using thematic analysis, findings reveal three key transformation stages: 1) Reality Shock confronting the gap between TEYL theories and under-resourced classrooms, 2) Contextual Adaptation developing strategies by integrating local culture, nature-based media, and children’s L1, and 3) Teacher Identity Formation shifting from “English instructor” to “facilitator of meaningful childhood experiences”. The study also identifies critical incidents that accelerate competence growth, including managing multilingual learners and teaching with technology. Implications suggest that TEYL practicum should be redesigned as a life-based experiential learning model rather than mere teaching drills. This research contributes to EFL teacher education discourse by linking pedagogical competence with social responsiveness.
