Abstract

Abstract This study investigated the occupational English language needs of traffic police officers in Pekanbaru. Most police officers are graduates of the Police Academy. To study at the Police Academy, students must first complete either a high school or one of the four Police Academies. Although the intensive language training in the Police Academy is often considered adequate for most officers' needs, those officers who come from other backgrounds are often left behind. Even in the case of the Police Academy graduates, all their English language training is based on the principles of General English, and does not necessarily prepare them for the occupational-specific language needs they face on the job. This study set out to explore therefore, exactly to what extent the traffic police officers' English language knowledge is in fact adequate. Data, in this study, were collected by observing, making a conversation, recording, and taking notes. In collecting the data, the writer takes an involvement with the subject’s conversation every week whether as an active participant or only as an observer. The tool that can be used in collecting the data is a pen, a book, and a hand phone, this tools use for documenting the interaction between traffic police with foreigners. The observation can be done when the subjects making a conversation with the foreigners. As a result, most of them are reluctant to communicate with foreigners event with their partner.

Abstract

The integration of technology in education has become increasingly essential, particularly in language learning. Tools such as Google Docs and Google Translate can enhance collaborative learning by promoting interaction, peer feedback, and improved comprehension. This study investigates the impact of these tools, combined with collaborative learning methods, on students’ English language performance. A quantitative approach using a post-test only design was applied. The sample consisted of 43 tenth-grade students from SMAN Khusus Olahraga Pekanbaru, selected through purposive sampling. Class X Science I (22 students) was designated as Experimental Class 1, and Class X Science II (21 students) as Experimental Class 2. Google Docs facilitated collaborative writing and peer editing, while Google Translate supported vocabulary understanding and sentence construction. A written test was used as the research instrument, and data were analyzed using an independent t-test on the N-Gain Score (%). The independent t-test revealed a significance value of p = 0.685 (p 0.05), indicating no statistically significant difference between the two experimental groups. This suggests that the combined use of collaborative learning and translation tools had a minimal impact on improving students' English performance. The limited effect may be attributed to students’ over-reliance on translation tools, which can hinder language processing and reduce opportunities for critical thinking. Additionally, the short duration of the intervention may have limited the tools' overall effectiveness.
