Abstract

Sumatera Volunteer Foundation was founded in 2014. The foundation is located in Jorong Balai Labuah Bawah-Lima Kaum, which is located on flat land. The main activity of the non-profit Sumatra Volunteer Foundation is a handicraft business whose main raw materials are obtained from nature Sumatra Volunteer sells goods whose raw material is bamboo, such as straws (Sumatra Straws), food made from coconut shells, gifts made from bamboo, and crafts to finance the Foundation's operational activities. In BPOM permit regulations, only straw products are permitted because they are used directly by users as drinking utensils. The sales system still uses the help of friends, family, alumni, students, and interns from the Sumatra Volunteer Foundation. The marketing activities of the Sumatra Volunteer Foundation do not yet have a BPOM permit, so consumers and potential consumers feel safer when using goods with a BPOM certificate. This activity aims to develop the craft product business at the Sumatra Volunteer Foundation by obtaining a BPOM permit. Educational activities regarding BPOM were successfully carried out with the consideration that the product could be clinically tested.

Abstract

Background: This research presents a case study on the valuable contribution of corpus linguistics to English instruction with an environmental focus, aiming to raise environmental awareness among students. The study explores the role of corpus linguistics as an effective tool for teaching English in the context of comprehending and discussing environmental issues. Methodology: To achieve this, the research utilizes the News on the Web (NOW) corpus to identify common vocabulary in environmental texts. The study was conducted with a group of 13 students in a Specialized Listening and Speaking class, with an intermediate level of English proficiency. The research was conducted over three terms. Initially, students were provided with 75 words from the News on the Web (NOW) corpus, complete with definitions and example sentences. Subsequently, they were tasked with writing three sentences for each word and memorizing their usage within an environmental context. Finally, the students were tested by having to provide talks on 15 randomly selected words. Findings: The research findings indicate that 10 students were able to proficiently use 60.51% of the environmental words, while three students encountered difficulties in using these terms within the environmental context. Seven students demonstrated their ability to connect sentences coherently, utilizing proper grammar and pronunciation.  Conclusion: This research suggests that most students successfully integrated environmental lexical items into their speaking, showcasing proficiency in grammar and pronunciation. However, most of the students (11 out of 13) require further support in structuring their speech cohesively. Rather than constructing a coherent narrative, they often employ words in isolation. Originality: This underscores the importance of using corpus-based methods to provide relevant vocabulary and fostering the skills necessary for constructing well-structured and cohesive speeches.
