Abstract

This study employs a qualitative research design, using observation and interview as collection methods. Observation sheets and interview guidelines served as the main instruments. This study examines types of communication problem and how to handle the communication problem. The findings show that staff faced four to six communication problems, with the first waiter experiencing 50%, the waitress 60%, and the third waiter 40%. From these results, the communication problems faced by three staff were ambiguous or unclear words, problem with listening, distracted concentration, and problem with pronunciation, each of which was experienced equally by all staff. These communication problems are not always caused by the staff themselves, but they can occur due to the crowded situation of the restaurant, the sound of music and the voices of many guests. In addition, the problem occurs due to the factor of guests who cannot speak English and the small voice of the guests. They handle communication problems by using the LEARN model of complaint handling techniques. In addition to applying various communication techniques, staff are also required to bring problems to their manager for appropriate solutions. Communication problems encountered include serving non-English speaking guests with the help of Google Translate and showing photos of the food, as well as dealing with ignorant guests in a professional manner by reconfirming the order until it is correct.

Abstract

AbstractPronunciation for Indonesian EFL students is tricky and challenging due to the different phonetic systems of the student's mother tongue and the target language. Integrating YouTube into English language learning could overcome these issues. The present study reviewed previous studies about the benefits of integrating YouTube as instructional media in promoting EFL students' pronunciation. This study was library research following George's (2008) model by selecting recent publications on the topic to summarize how YouTube videos affect students' English pronunciation and highlight a research gap that could be taken by future research. The review revealed that YouTube had benefitted students in aspects of pronunciation: stress, intonation, rhythm, voice quality, gestures, vowels, and consonants, although research on the application's use for improving students' rhythm is minimal despite the availability of relevant videos. This finding implies the need for more research on improving students' rhythm using YouTube video. Bahasa Indonesia AbstrakPengucapan bahasa Inggris sangat rumit untuk pebelajar Indonesia karena perbedaan dalam sistem fonetik bahasa ibu dan bahasa target siswa.

Abstract

Conventional evaluations of TOEFL preparation frequently emphasize end scores or participant satisfaction, which can obscure whether institutional resources, instruction, assessment, and intended longer-term benefits form a coherent program pathway. This study evaluated the coherence and participant-progress evidence of a TOEFL preparation course at Lembaga Pengembangan Pendidikan Nusa Tenggara Barat (LPPNTB) through a logic model. A qualitative case study supplemented by descriptive quantitative data integrated stakeholder interviews, classroom observation, institutional documents, try-out score records, and alumni datasets from 2021, 2022, and 2024. Qualitative evidence was coded deductively by the logic-model categories and inductively for implementation issues; descriptive numerical evidence was embedded to corroborate or complicate the qualitative interpretation. The findings indicate a generally coherent relationship among institutional support, trainer preparation, integrated reading-structure-listening instruction, guided practice, feedback, mock tests, and the intended goal of TOEFL readiness. Among 35 participants with complete Try-Out 1 and Try-Out 3 records, the mean changed descriptively from 426.00 to 474.11, and 32 participants recorded higher later scores. This pattern does not establish causation and must be considered alongside the available pretest-to-final means, which changed from 479.79 to 476.29. Alumni records suggested perceived usefulness for scholarships, English development, and career purposes, but were retrospective and self-reported. The course therefore demonstrated coherent program logic and promising, non-causal evidence of readiness. Priority improvements include diagnostic placement, differentiated digital assignments, intensive listening support, standardized assessment documentation, and longitudinal alumni tracking.
