Abstract

Trenggalek is one of the regencies in East Java that is intensively developing tourist villages. By 2022, 35 tourist villages have been successfully built. With the existence of tourist villages with various potentials, supporting factors are needed from not only the government but also the wider community, one of which is the participation of the community as tour guides. A tour guide must master various abilities; communication skills, language skills, and the ability to know a lot about tourist attractions. One of the vital things that must be mastered by a tour guide is the ability to speak and write English as an international language. A tour guide is expected to be able to use English well, fluently, and effectively in carrying out his duties to guide tourists who come. That is why it is necessary to map the level of English proficiency of the tour guides in tourist villages. Thus, this study focused on analyzing the English levels of tour guides in two skills; speaking and writing. The result revealed that tour guides in Trenggalek have a varied range of English speaking and writing levels, from basic to intermediate. It is hoped that later with the mapping of the English level of the tour guides, English teachers and researchers in similar fields will be able to better prepare teaching materials and training programs that are suitable to the needs of the tour guides

Abstract

East Java has some famous and potential tourist places, one of which is in Trenggalek. Trenggalek is rich in natural resources such as beaches, mountains, and forests to name a few. Therefore, Trenggalek claimed to have big potential in East Java tourism in 2022. In 2021, the government of Trenggalek already set the target to build and develop 100 tourist villages by 2024. In 2022, 35 tourist villages have been built all around Trenggalek. Skilled tour guides are strongly required to promote Trenggalek as a promising and potential tourism destination in East Java. These tour guides have to master and comprehend English as an international language. Tour guides who can use and speak English well can gain more foreign tourists and make Trenggalek not only famous in East Java and Indonesia but also in wider scopes. Therefore, a PIKAT team of UPN “Veteran” Jawa Timur held a community service program, “English for Tour Guide” in Dongko, Trenggalek, East Java. The team has run this program since July; split into two sessions; offline and online session. The offline session was held in July, at Taman Watu Kandang, Pandean, Dongko, and Trenggalek, and continued with an online session in August via Zoom. Both the offline and online programs were successfully held. The participants joined the program enthusiastically and actively. This community service was supported by the Department of Tourism and Culture of Trenggalek. In the future, the team expects to widen the scope of this community service program.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of financial literacy into education curricula, with a particular focus on Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum, using a bibliometric review of 316 peer-reviewed articles from the Scopus database (2016–2025). Through bibliometric mapping via VOSviewer, the research identifies five thematic clusters: policy development, behavioral outcomes, student knowledge and attitudes, digital financial literacy, and interdisciplinary education strategies. Key findings reveal a global surge in financial literacy research post-2016, largely driven by policy mandates and the rise of digital finance, with the United States leading in scholarly output. However, research remains heavily concentrated in high-income countries, while regions like Indonesia are underrepresented despite clear policy interest. The study uncovers several implementation barriers in educational settings, including limited teacher training, inadequate resources, and a lack of standardized evaluation metrics. Promising practices—such as project-based learning, the integration of financial literacy into mathematics, and digital tools—have demonstrated improved student engagement and financial behavior. In Indonesia, six core studies suggest a growing awareness of financial education but underscore the need for contextualized curricula and community-based support. The study recommends more inclusive policies, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and longitudinal impact assessments to ensure financial literacy becomes a core competency in global education systems.

Abstract

The high level of cognitive anxiety experienced by students in facing the National Test-Based Selection (SNBT)  is  a  serious  problem  because  it  can  interfere  with  concentration,  motivation  and  learning readiness. This anxiety has a negative impact on students' academic performance and achievement. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of the Teacher-student Talk (TST) strategy in reducing students' cognitive anxiety facing SNBT. The research subjects consisted of 62 students who had the highest  level of cognitive anxiety, who were selected  using  a  purposive sampling technique.  Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire using a Likert scale, then analyzed with the Wilcoxon test using the help of SPSS version 25.00 software. The results showed that there was a significant decrease in the average score of students' cognitive anxiety, from 126.2 (pretest) to 90 (posttest), after being given an intervention in the form of TST. This finding shows that the TST strategy is effective as a counselling approach that can significantly reduce cognitive anxiety. This strategy can bean applicable alternative intervention for teachers and counselors in helping students prepare for academic exams with more calm and confidence.

Abstract

Language interference refers to deviations from the rules of the target language due to the influence of a speaker’s first or second language. This study aims to identify and analyze the forms of English language interference experienced by multilingual students, providing an empirical foundation for developing inclusive and linguistically responsive English language education that accommodates learners’ diverse linguistic backgrounds. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research focuses on students from the English Language Education Program at the University of Muhammadiyah Luwuk, who use multiple languages in their daily lives. Data collection instrument was interview. The findings reveal two primary forms of interference in students’ English communication: phonological and syntactic interference. Phonological interference stems from sound similarities students’ source language and English, while syntactic interference arises from the influence of first and second language syntax on English sentence construction. These findings underscore the importance of understanding learners’ linguistic backgrounds as a basis for fostering more inclusive English language teaching practices in multilingual classrooms.

Abstract

Despite the pivotal role of local tour guides to promote tourist attractions in their region, most of them cannot use English communicatively. There is a need to upskill their English level through a training program. This study aims to evaluate Trenggalek’s local tour guides after joining a series of training on Speaking and Writing in English. This study employs a qualitative design with the test results analysis. Five tour guides were tested through verbal and written assessment through a contextualized framework that fit Indonesians’ characteristics as EFL learners. Their abilities were analyzed through adapted rubrics and scoring criteria. Results show that only a few tour guides successfully upgraded their English skills. However, they showed more diverse Speaking abilities compared to their Writing ability. These findings imply that more focus should be put on the training of Speaking skill, and that more workshops should be presented in series coupled with follow-up activities to get tour guides used to using English.
