Abstract

In the industrial revolution 4.0 era, it is easier for people to communicate through social media such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter and other similar applications. Similarly, in tracking tourist destinations. Tourists no longer need to laboriously search for information. With a device, everything is finished. Tanjung Village has beautiful ecotourism destinations such as Kali Bening, Jurang Nganten Waterfall, Kalen Wates Waterfall, and Kedung Plumpang. Geographical support in the form of mountainous areas adds a special attraction for visitors. Unfortunately, tourism management is still centralized based on the Village Government through the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis). In addition, tourism managers are also faced with the low Human Resources (HR) managers in receiving foreign tourists. The ability to communicate in English is still low. So, this dedication focuses on equipping the ability of natural tourism managers in Tanjung Village to communicate in English. They are equipped with basic English skills including general vocabulary of tourism (vocabulary), ways of speaking in English (speaking skills), and public speaking techniques of tour guides (Tour Guides). The final results of devotion produce English-Indonesian Tourism Pocket Dictionary products that can be utilized by managers of tourist destinations in welcoming foreign tourists.

Abstract

The students do not always feel at ease when working in groups or pairs. One of the reasons for this discomfort is the presence of power dynamics among the students. Therefore, this study focuses on investigating these dynamics and aims to achieve three main goals. Firstly, it aims to identify the indicators of power in student-student interactions between female and male EFL learners. Secondly, it aims to describe the relationships that are formed among them. Lastly, it aims to determine which participants exhibit more power in these interactions. The methodology employed in this study is qualitative, utilizing a classroom discourse analysis to identify the behaviors that manifest during student-student interactions. The data is examined using the theories of process types within systemic functional linguistics. The findings are then utilized to infer which participants wield more power in the interactions. The analysis reveals that a significant majority of the participants' process types indicate the presence of power. Furthermore, the relationship between female and male EFL learners is neither cooperative nor competitive, as one gender tends to dominate while the other has less ability to challenge this dominance. Thus, either female or male EFL learners can exhibit more power in the interaction. These findings indicate that power dynamics in interactions are not inherently tied to gender.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the significant difference between students’ listening skill before and after being instructed using English songs. The eighth-grade students at MTs N 1 Jepara were still struggling with their vocabulary and listening skill. In order to enhance students' listening skill, the researcher utilized English songs from Spotify. A true-experimental scheming with a pretest-posttest control group pattern was used in this study. The total population of the study was 376 students who taken randomly to be sampled. Pre-test and post-test of the experimental class scores were higher than those of the control class. This demonstrated that the experimental class's scores were prominent diverse before and after the use of Spotify media as a treatment. The pre-test and post-test scores in the Mann-Whitney test had Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) values of 0.000<0.05 and 0.001<0.05. That indicates that Ho was turned down and Ha was approved. Thus, it might be assumed that English songs on Spotify were effective for enhancing students’ listening skill of MTs N 1 Jepara.

Abstract

This ethnographic case study delves into the intricate reading habits of a fifth-semester EFL learner, exploring the multifaceted dynamics of her engagement with both fiction and non-fiction literature. The research unfolds the pivotal role of early exposure to reading, fostered by parental encouragement, in shaping a lifelong commitment to literary pursuits. The participant's diverse reading practices, encompassing print and e-books, reflect a nuanced approach to language acquisition and vocabulary enrichment. The study reveals a positive correlation between extensive reading habits and academic performance, particularly in TOEFL reading comprehension and overall language proficiency. The participant's transition from composing stories in Indonesian to writing in English, coupled with the abandonment of subtitles while engaging with English media, underscores the transformative impact of sustained reading habits on language skills. This research not only enhances the understanding of individual reading behaviors but also emphasizes broader implications for language development, academic success, and the cultivation of writing skills.  Further research should investigate the unique impacts of different genres on language acquisition, the influence of digital platforms on reading behaviors, and how reading intersects with socioeconomic and cultural factors. A longitudinal study tracking individuals from infancy to adulthood might uncover the long-term impacts of early literacy. Further investigation is required to explore the impact of personalized reading programs in EFL courses on language proficiency and academic performance. Further research in this field can potentially enhance EFL teaching and overall progress.
