Abstract

Errors are an inevitable part of second language acquisition, particularly in the learning of grammatical features such as tense. This study aims to analyse the types and frequency of tense-related errors made by first-semester students of the Communication Science program at Amikom University Yogyakarta. Adopting a descriptive qualitative research design, data were collected from students’ short-answer tests focusing on five English tenses: simple present, present continuous, present perfect, simple past, and simple future. A total of 660 sentences produced by 33 students were analysed using error analysis procedures, including error identification, classification, and interpretation. The findings reveal that omission was the most frequent error type, accounting for 50% of the total errors, followed by misinformation (32%) and overgeneralization (18%). In terms of tense usage, errors in the simple past tense occurred most frequently (38%), followed by the simple present tense (27%), present perfect tense (27%), present continuous tense (5%), and simple future tense (3%). These results indicate that students experience significant difficulties in applying tense forms accurately, particularly those involving verb inflection and auxiliary usage. The study highlights the importance of targeted grammar instruction and suggests that systematic, error-focused teaching and remedial support may help reduce persistent tense errors and enhance learners’ grammatical accuracy.

Abstract

Sektor pariwisata berbasis masyarakat (Community-Based Tourism/CBT) menempatkan pemandu wisata lokal sebagai elemen krusial dalam memberikan pelayanan serta membangun citra destinasi. Namun, keterbatasan keterampilan komunikasi publik dan penguasaan bahasa sering kali menjadi kendala utama pemandu wisata dalam menyampaikan informasi secara persuasif dan profesional. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk menguraikan pentingnya pelatihan public speaking bagi pemandu wisata di Desa Wisata Jagalan, Yogyakarta. Metode pelaksanaan merujuk pada pendekatan pembelajaran berbasis pengalaman (experiential learning) yang mengombinasikan pemaparan teori, simulasi mandiri, serta evaluasi interaktif. Materi pelatihan mencakup teknik dasar public speaking, komunikasi lintas budaya (high-context dan low-context), storytelling berstruktur, serta teknik penanganan pertanyaan (Handling Questions/PAR Technique). Hasil dari sintesis pelatihan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan pada kepercayaan diri, kelancaran vokal, tata bahasa, dan kemampuan interaksi dua arah dengan wisatawan. Pelatihan ini terbukti efektif sebagai model pengembangan kompetensi sumber daya manusia pariwisata secara berkelanjutan.
