Abstract

This study identifies the English language needs of performing arts (Sendratasik) students at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, Indonesia, within an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) framework. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining questionnaires (n=50) and semi-structured interviews (n=10) to analyze target needs (necessities, lacks, wants) and learning needs (strategies, assessment preferences, barriers). Findings reveal that speaking is the most essential skill (70.4% of students), yet paradoxically also the most difficult (55.6%). Students prefer interactive teaching methods (55.6%) and collaborative strategies such as group discussions (40.7%). However, an assessment paradox emerged: despite prioritizing speaking, 55.6% of students prefer written tests over oral assessments. Low self-confidence (55.6%) is identified as the primary psychological barrier to speaking performance. We conclude that a significant gap exists between perceived needs and actual abilities in speaking, mediated by affective factors. These findings challenge the assumption that needs awareness alone translates into competence. Pedagogically, we recommend Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) to align instruction with students' communicative needs while reducing anxiety. This study contributes empirical evidence to the under-researched intersection of ESP and performing arts education in non-Western contexts.

Abstract

The community service program entitled Dunggala Digital Hub: Multidisciplinary Synergy in Branding Local Wisdom through English Educational Content for Global Marketing was successfully implemented in Dunggala Village, Tapa District, Bone Bolango Regency for 45 days. The program aimed to improve the quality of education, digital literacy, and the strengthening of the community’s creative economy through technology-based and local wisdom-oriented approaches. The implementation of the program began with field observations and community needs analysis to identify various village problems, such as low digital literacy, the lack of optimal promotion of local potential, and the underutilization of coconut coir waste. Various activities were successfully carried out, including educational programs for school children, disaster mitigation socialization, digital data collection for aid recipients, training in educational content production and village promotion in English, as well as the GALAPEAT program, which focused on processing coconut coir waste into organic planting media (cocopeat). In addition, social activities such as Friday Clean-Up programs, Posyandu services, Qur’an donations, and Dunggala CUP also strengthened community participation and the culture of mutual cooperation. Overall, the program had a positive impact on improving knowledge, skills, digital literacy, and the branding of Dunggala Village as an innovative village based on local wisdom.
