Abstract

In the context of globalization, English plays a pivotal role, particularly in the tourism industry, where daily interactions with foreign visitors are common. This study investigates the motivations, challenges, and efforts of pedicab drivers and vendors when communicating with foreign tourists at the Tsunami Museum and Ulee Lheue Port in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through interviews with eight respondents: four pedicab drivers and four vendors. This studys findings reveal that pedicab drivers and vendors have a complex use of English, reflecting their motivations, challenges, and efforts to improve their language skills. The respondents expressed a strong desire to engage with foreign tourists, promote their products, and conduct tours, often motivated by positive interactions. However, they faced significant challenges, such as word recall, understanding foreign accents, and unfamiliar vocabulary, often relying on basic English or Indonesian for communication. To address these issues, they are making efforts to enhance their English proficiency through interactions with tourists and peers, demonstrating a commitment to improving communication and better serving their customers. The study emphasizes the need for improved language support in the tourism sector and offers valuable insights for educators. It accentuates the importance of increasing students awareness of Englishs practical relevance, especially for those pursuing careers in tourism and other globalized fields.

Abstract

News discourse is often regarded as an objective and formal form of discourse. However, the definition of news is rather elusive. News must be something extraordinary and captivating enough to attract public attention. This research discusses a semiotic analysis of online news, specifically on Beritasatu.com, concerning the new policy for teachers in Indonesia, known as the Teacher Marketplace, proposed by the Minister of Education, Nadiem Makarim. This policy, an online database of teachers that allows schools to immediately choose available teachers, was perceived as an insult to the teaching profession. Consequently, social media platforms such as online news pages, TikTok, Instagram, and others saw online demonstrations suggesting that the government is demeaning teachers by ‘selling’ them in an online database. This research focuses on the headlines, lexical choices, language use, typography, and photography in 15 news articles related to the Teacher Marketplace on Beritasatu.com. Using the interactive model analysis to analyze the data, the results revealed 15 harsh headlines, 27 harsh lexical choices, 18 instances of unpleasant language, 10 satirical photographs, and standard typography across the online news. These findings highlight the need for news readers to be more aware of harsh language in certain online news platforms.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the writing strategies applied by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in Indonesia. It also investigated how the writing process undergone by Indonesian EFL students differs from students using English as their first language (L1). The writing strategies questionnaire from Petri and Czrl (2003) was used to find out the strategies used by the EFL students. In addition, the adult writing process model of Hayes (2012), which was constructed based on the writing process of English as first language students, was used as the framework to investigate the writing process applied by Indonesian students. The participants were 135 English Education department students from two Indonesian universities. Participants answers to the questions in the questionnaire over the three stages of writing (pre-writing, drafting, and revising) were analysed using a 5-point Likert scale. The result revealed that the participants applied writing strategies at a moderate level. They only frequently used 15 of the 38 strategies provided in the questionnaire at high frequency. The 15 strategies used at high frequencies described the participants writing process which indicated some differences from that of the writing process undergone by the English L1 students. The findings aim to inform theories of second/foreign language writing performance, as well as support the design of teaching writing courses in English Education majors in Indonesia. The data may also be useful for educators in other countries teaching English as a second or foreign language.

Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of team-based project learning integrated with Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) in an English Teaching Methodology class at Syiah Kuala University. The research framework, adapted from Kemendikbud, focuses on six key stages: questioning, designing, scheduling, monitoring, assessing, and evaluating. Data were gathered from 30 students through a structured questionnaire and analyzed quantitatively, using percentage and interval ranges to determine perceptions. The results show that students held overwhelmingly positive views of team-based projects, with mean scores consistently falling in the ‘Agree’ to ‘Strongly Agree’ categories. Students valued the collaborative nature of the projects, which helped them develop critical skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and time management. The integration of TPACK further enriched their learning experience by facilitating meaningful application of technology in teaching. These findings suggest that team-based projects, when integrated with TPACK and guided by a structured framework, can significantly improve learning outcomes in English language education. Future research should investigate the long-term impacts of these approaches and address potential implementation challenges to enhance their effectiveness.
