This is the second year of the community service team to assist a private institution, Yayasan Al-Kahfi of Palembang, which provides teaching assistance to the orphan and disadvantage children as one of its mission. English was one of the subjects taught there once in a week. The obstacles faced were the educational background of the instructors which were not linear with the English subject, the lack of experience on how to teach English for young learners, the lack of teaching media, the limited time of teaching English which was only about 50 minutes, and the range of age in the same group that varied from kindergarten to first until third elementary class. Therefore, an effective and efficient teaching and learning strategy was extremely important to be implemented. Since teaching English for young learners should be in a kind of fun and pleasing atmosphere, therefore enjoyable and entertaining activities as one of the strategy can be used for this issue. These kinds of activities made the students unconsciously as if they were playing not studying. Therefore, the team made and modified games rules as the learning media to ease the students in learning English in terms of memorizing the vocabularies and making simple sentences in a fun and pleasing activities. The games proved that the teaching and learning activities can be done extremely effective and efficient.

Websites for hotels are essential sources of information for prospective guests. Because of this, their readability and appeal are crucial to hotel internet marketing. The objective of this study is to gain insight into the linguistic strategies utilized by hotels for online promotion. This study initially introduces an analytical framework grounded in appraisal theory to elucidate the underlying mechanisms employed by hotels to foster interpersonal interactions. This framework is subsequently employed to analyze the online linguistic strategies utilized by the five-star hotels in Palembang. The overall linguistic strategy is found, along with the hotels' preference for using it. This study employed a descriptive qualitative methodology, analyzing samples from hotel websites in Palembang based on their usage of language style. The findings indicated that metonym, hyperbole, metaphor, personification, simile, and synecdoche are the language types that the hotel frequently uses to entice readers to stay there with metaphor as the most dominant. In conclusion, one of the most important parts of making ads is using language style, which means changing the meaning of words and using figurative language to make them more fun to read.

Despite the growing integration of digital technology into English language instruction in vocational higher education, little research has explicitly looked at how technology-supported learning affects learner autonomy, English proficiency, and learning challenges among Indonesian vocational college students. This study examined how first-year students at Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya, Indonesia, learned English with the aid of technology based on their patterns of technology use, perceptions, contributions and challenges. Data from 474 students were gathered via an online survey utilizing a descriptive quantitative methodology, and descriptive statistics were used for analysis. The results showed that students regularly employed digital technologies to help them learn English (M=3.79, SD=0.95), with online videos, mobile applications, artificial intelligence (AI) tools, and online resources being widely used. Additionally, students showed positive perceptions of technology-supported English learning (M=3.98, SD=1.01), especially with regard to simple access to educational resources, heightened enthusiasm for learning, and enhanced comprehension of lessons. Additionally, it was believed that technology improved English language proficiency (M=3.92, SD=0.98), particularly speaking, listening, and reading. Additionally, the results demonstrated that technology fosters learner autonomy (M=3.81, SD=0.96) by allowing students to autonomously access resources, participate in self-directed learning, and assume more accountability for their educational journey. Despite these advantages, students reported a number of difficulties (M=3.40, SD=0.98), such as the need for more teacher supervision, inadequate internet access, technological difficulties, and learning distractions. Overall, the study shows that technology significantly improves vocational higher education students' English learning experiences, language growth, and learner autonomy. To optimize the advantages of technology-supported English learning, the results emphasize the significance of efficient technology integration, sufficient infrastructure, and pedagogical support.

For final-year English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students, producing final reports is an important academic milestone. However, little research has been done on how students feel about this process in vocational higher education settings. The purpose of this study was to look into the actual experiences of final-year Diploma III EFL students when preparing their final reports. Twelve final-year students from Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya's English Study Program participated in semi-structured interviews to gather data using a qualitative phenomenological approach. Thematic analysis was then used for analysis. Academic and research-related difficulties, emotional experiences, sources of support, coping mechanisms, and academic and personal development were the five main themes that emerged from the findings. Finding pertinent references, writing literature reviews, analyzing data, structuring ideas, and using academic writing conventions in English were all challenges faced by the participants. Stress, perplexity, frustration, exhaustion, anxiety, and self-doubt frequently accompanied these difficulties. However, students were able to handle them and maintain their motivation with the help of peers, family, supervisors, and online resources. Goal-setting, time management, asking for help, sticking to regular work schedules, and self-motivation were among the coping mechanisms used by them. The final report writing process was seen as a life-changing event that improved research competency, academic writing skills, critical thinking, independence, resilience, confidence, and problem-solving abilities despite the obstacles. The study comes to the conclusion that writing final reports is a significant learning experience that advances students' academic, personal, and professional development in addition to being a graduation requirement.

Through innovative technology and pedagogy-based training, this community service program sought to improve the professional competency of vocational English teachers. The primary issue found was the inadequate use of cutting-edge digital technology and student-centered pedagogy in vocational English classrooms, which had an impact on both student engagement and teaching effectiveness. Focus Group Discussions (FGD), seminars, and workshops were used in a professional development program for fifteen English instructors at SMKN 2 Palembang in order to address this problem. Teachers were able to investigate technology-enhanced learning platforms, creative teaching methods, digital assessment tools, and vocational-context English education through the program's collaborative and participatory techniques. Observations, interviews, surveys, and reflective assessment sheets were used to gather data. The results showed that teachers' comprehension and practical abilities in incorporating cutting-edge technology and pedagogy into classroom activities had considerable improvement from 13.33% before the training to 86.67% after the training. Teachers showed greater assurance when utilizing digital technologies to create interactive, student-centered learning resources. The sustainability of technology-based professional development programs was positively perceived by the participants. The program came to the conclusion that innovative technology and pedagogy-based training successfully enhanced the professional competency of vocational English teachers and promoted more flexible, interesting, and pertinent English learning strategies in vocational education settings.
