Abstract

Possessing a well-established English communicative competence (hereafter, ECC) is highly demanding since it can contribute to the production of fluent, accurate, and intelligible communication. Unfortunately, insufficient attention has been addressed to delve into Pangandaran tour guides' English communicative competence. This study aims to delineate the ECC of Pangandaran tour guides in Pangandaran, Indonesia. The data were collected through a focus group discussion consisting of six participants from miscellaneous institutions and were analyzed through Thematic Analysis (Braun and Clarke, 2006). The findings demonstrated that Pangandaran tour guides' ECC were outlined in five descriptions, namely (1) committing recursive grammatical errors while speaking in English, (2) designating insufficient spoken English vocabulary, (3) possessing vast and in-depth prior knowledge about Pangandaran, (4) diagnosing problems and proposing their various solutions and (5) showcasing visionary thoughts towards tourism destination development. Given these facts, ECC enables the tour guides to create sustainable job and business opportunities for themselves, the local people, and the government.Keywords: Communicative competence; English; Indonesian tourism; Pangandaran tour guides

Abstract

Willingness to Communicate (WTC) has been extensively scrutinized over the last few decades. However, although there has been much research focusing on WTC, a few studies explored the students' unwillingness to communicate (UWTC) and its influential factors, notably in Indonesian higher education. Hence, the present study aims to delineate the students' UWTC and its influential factors while learning English speaking in the Survival English Course. Six English Education Department students of a state university in Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia took part as investigative participants. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that students tended to indicate UTC while learning English speaking in the Survival English Course. In addition, the factors influencing their WTC encompassed students' less self-confidence, students' learning anxiety, demotivated to speak English, classroom atmosphere, unintelligible pronunciation, and uninteresting topics. Given these facts, understanding the students' UWTC and its influential factors enables the teacher to apply appropriate teaching methods, instructional media, and teaching materials coherently. By doing so, the students' UWTC can be mitigated and transformed to be WTC.
