Abstract

The existence of Mandalika as a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Lombok, and as one of the super-priority destinations brings an opportunity to Indonesia, especially to recover from the impact of economic recession due to the Covid-19 pandemic and 8.0 Earthquake in West Nusa Tenggara province. One of the greatest opportunities is the international event of MOTOGP to be held in Mandalika Circuit for about ten years. As a vocational institution, Lombok Tourism Polytechnic conducted several programs to support the acceleration of tourism recovery, especially in the SEZ Mandalika and its supporting areas through increasing the capacity of human resources, particularly in SEZ Mandalika and its surroundings. These programs are workshops in hospitality service, technical guidance in creating foods and beverages from local sources, making beds, and improving skills in a foreign language. There were 120 targeted participants in this activity consisting of security personnel, street vendors, the manager or owner of SARHUNTA and homestays around SEZ Mandalika and its buffer areas. The duration of this project was 6 months, through observation, coordination, programming, implementation of workshop activities and technical guidance as well as gathering feedback from the conducted activities. After conducting the activities, most participants stated that the programs supported and facilitated their work, and they could improve their knowledge and skills in many aspects. However, intensive coaching is needed, especially in small groups to optimize the results of these programs.

Abstract

The phenomenon of poor English language proficiency among Indonesian students suggests revisiting the instructional methods that have long been commonly used in English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms. This long-lasting problem makes it essential for English practitioners to seek alternative approaches paving the ground for the EFL learners to reach more promising achievements. One of the approaches that may fill in this lacuna is Pair-Interaction Model (PIM). Therefore, the present study was an attempt to disclose the effects of PIM on fostering Indonesian EFL learners’ proficiency compared to the Grammar-Translation Method (GTM). For this purpose, a total of 90 first-year English students from three renowned universities in South Sulawesi, i.e. Hasanuddin University, Indonesian Moslem University situated in Makassar, and the Muhammadiyah University of Pare-Pare, were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The participants went through a pre-test, an intervention, and a post-test procedures. Findings revealed that the English proficiency of the participants who received instructions based on the principles and procedures of PIM significantly improved at the end of the interventions. This improvement was particularly seen in the participants’ grammar knowledge and speaking skills. The findings offered strong evidence that PIM can be implemented in the Indonesian classes to foster EFL learners’ proficiency. The study concludes by offering some implications for relevant stakeholders and opening up some avenues for further research.

Abstract

Traditional teaching methods focused on imparting information often fail to optimize students' communicative abilities in second language acquisition, particularly English. This study explores the effectiveness of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in enhancing language skills, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing observations and interviews with teachers and students in an English as a Second Language (ESL) learning context in Indonesia. Data collection focused on classroom dynamics, student-teacher interactions, and participants' experiences with CLT. The findings indicate that CLT positively impacts students’ language acquisition. Structured and supportive communication activities fostered significant improvements across all language domains. Students exposed to interactive and authentic communication exercises demonstrated enhanced confidence and proficiency in English. These results underscore the importance of integrating communication-focused methodologies in ESL education. The participatory nature of CLT encourages active engagement, enabling learners to apply language skills in real-life scenarios. Teachers reported that CLT activities also motivated students, promoting collaboration and practical use of language. This study highlights the efficacy of CLT in improving language skills and advocates for its broader adoption in teaching English as a second language in Indonesia. It suggests a shift from traditional, information-based methods to more dynamic, communication-centered approaches, emphasizing the value of student interaction in achieving language proficiency.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the teacher’ and students’ gestures, and the function of the gestures in an online EFL classroom. The researcher applied a qualitative research design. The subject of research was 9 students, 2 teachers in the English Department, and an expert in expression. The research instruments were passive participant observation, interview, and documentation. The result of the research revealed that both the teachers and students used gestures. Teachers applied speech-independent and speech-related gestures. The speech-relate gestures were clenching, pointing, and raising hands. In contrast, the speech-independent gestures were nodding with nothing to do with what she was explaining. However, students’ gestures were often invisible on the screen due to the constraints of limited screenshots. The function of gestures was to substitute words and instruction. Additionally being mindful of their gestures can send mixed signals or unintentionally convey negative emotions or attitudes. So, all teachers must consciously use gestures to support their message. The study’s novelty lies in its focus on the online EFL classroom context, a relatively unexplored area in the field of language education research. By examining the specific strategies used in an online setting, this study provides new insights into the role of N-VC in virtual learning environments. This is particularly relevant given the increasing reliance on online education due to recent global events, making the findings timely and applicable.
