Abstract

STIEPARI students’ achievement was found to have declined during 2008 - 2010. Almost all language skills were affected. One attempt to rectify the problem was the creation of a program called STIEPARI Language Course (SLC). The natures of the data in this research were quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative data were taken from the post-test TOEFL scores of 30 STIEPARI students. The 30 students were divided into 2 groups, Experimental Class and Control Class. Experimental Class was taught using Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method in the teaching learning process; on the other hand, Control Class was taught without using CLT. The qualitative data were taken from student comments on the STIEPARI Language Course (SLC). From the t-test analysis, the result shows that there is a significant difference between the mean score of post-test of the Experimental Class and the mean score of post-test of the Control Class. This result shows that, statistically, the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method is an effective method to enhance students’ motivation in increasing TOEFL score. It should be mentioned, however, that TOEFL scores should be interpreted with care. To summarize students’ feedback on the STIEPARI Language Course (SLC), in general, both the Experimental Class and the Control Class learned a lot from the SLC. This comment is supported by the increase in TOEFL score.

Abstract

Desa Branjang Kecamatan Ungaran Barat Kabupaten Semarang ditetapkan Kepala Desa sebagai rintisan desa wisata yang dikelola melalui kelembagaan pengembang desa wisata bersama Pokdarwis dan BUMDes. Akan tetapi, dalam pengelolaannya ditemui sejumlah kendala dalam mengidentifikasi produk wisata yang dapat dijadikan magnet wisata desa sehingga sampai saat ini belum dilakukan identifikasi produk baik berbasis alam, budaya, serta ekonomi kreatif di desa tersebut. Selain itu, pengelola desa wisata juga belum mampu membuat kemasan paket wisata bagi wisatawan agar dapat menikmati potensi wisata desa Branjang secara menyeluruh.  Pengabdian dilaksanakan dalam 6 tahapan kegiatan, dengan cara FGD, Sosialisasi, Workshop, Praktek Sadar Wisata dan Praktek Event. Hasil pengabdian memperlihatkan peningkatkan soft-skill berupa peningkatan kesadaran wisata masyarakat dari 30% menjadi 100%, peningkatan dukungan masyarakat dari 60% menjadi 100%, keberhasilan melakukan pemetaan untuk Produk Atraksi, Amenitas, dan Aksesibilits serta Peningkatan hard-skill  tercapai dari kesuksesan pelaksanaan pembuatan paket-paket wisata yang memadukan Atraksi, Amenitas, dan Aksesibilitas dalam rangka mendukung Penyelengaraan Event Budaya Lokal bagi Rintisan Desa Wisata Branjang di Era New Normal
