Higher Education students through students’ community service actively participate in the development of a village through mentoring, empowering, and raising community awareness of the area's potential. Kuanheun Village located in West Kupang District, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. Kuanheun Community is a village with natural potential for tourism development. However, there are still tourist attractions that are isolated and unknown to visitors, for instance, the Oa'ana Cave (small water cave). Students from Widya Mandira Catholic University in Community Empowerment Program worked hard to build Kuanheun's tourist village: tourist site, replanting surrounding tourist sites, designing Oa’ana Cave (small water cave) tourist attractions, and optimizing the use of social media as an information and promotion medium. Thus, numerous KKN work initiatives can assist promote Kuanheun Village's tourism potential.

This study investigates the impact of South Amarasi folklore-based photo storytelling on young learners' English-speaking skills and cultural awareness in under-resourced educational settings. Conducted in Sahraen Village, South Amarasi—specifically at Rumah Singgah Sore Oetepas (a non-formal learning center) and SD Inpres Sahraen (a formal elementary school)—this research employs a qualitative approach supported by descriptive statistics. It evaluates how incorporating local folklore into English lessons can enhance language acquisition and student engagement. The study explores several key questions: How effectively is South Amarasi folklore improving English skills among young learners? What factors influence students' progress through photo storytelling, including prior knowledge and classroom dynamics? How do teachers perceive the integration of local folklore in teaching, particularly regarding its impact on language skills and cultural awareness? These questions are thoroughly addressed through classroom observations, interviews, and pre- and post-test assessments. Findings reveal that folklore-based photo storytelling significantly boosts students' English-speaking abilities and engagement, particularly in environments with limited resources. This research contributes to the broader discourse on culturally responsive teaching, highlighting the value of local content in language education and curriculum development

This study examines the types and frequency of surface linguistic errors in English oral storytelling by junior high school students from the 3T (frontier, outermost, disadvantaged) region of Kupang Timur. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 15 students and analyzed through Dulay et al.’s Surface Strategy Taxonomy, with error analysis following Ellis’s framework: identification, description, explanation, and evaluation. The results show that omission errors were most frequent (47%), followed by addition (27%), misformation (20%), and misordering (6%). Frequent mistakes included the omission of “to be” verbs and possessive apostrophes, indicating limited mastery of basic English grammar in spoken form. These findings highlight the specific grammatical challenges faced by learners from remote, under-resourced areas. The study offers valuable implications for English language instruction, suggesting the need for targeted teaching strategies and curriculum development that address the unique needs of students in 3T regions. By focusing on an underrepresented group in Indonesian educational research, this study provides new insights into how linguistic background and educational access shape oral language proficiency, advocating for more inclusive and context-sensitive language teaching practices.

This study sought to analyze how the third-semester students of the English Education Study Program of Widya Mandira Catholic University structured their writings based on the generic structures and language features of argumentative writing. A qualitative descriptive method was used in this study. The findings revealed the most common problem was the absence of counterarguments, which was found in the writings of 24 students (80%). There was also a problem of merging the generic structures, which was done by 14 students (46.67%). In correlation to this, 11 students (36.67%) contained weak and unclear conclusions in their writings. Another problem found was the lack of formal tone, where 13 students (43.33%) still used casual and informal phrases, and they showed subjective and informal attitude towards the topics. Errors of omission, addition, misformation, and misordering were also found in 14 students’ writings (46.67%). Misformation was the most frequently found with the total of 28 errors (45.16%), followed by omission with the total of 24 errors (38.71%), addition with the total of 7 errors (11.29%), and misordering with the total of 3 errors (4.84%), These findings suggest that simply assigning argumentative essays is not enough and there need to be more explicit guidance in structure, academic style, as well as grammar.

This study explores the effectiveness of integrating traditional short stories into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction to enhance vocabulary development among eighth-grade students in South Amarasi. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research assesses the impact of storytelling on vocabulary acquisition by administrating pre-test and post-test assessments to 26 junior high school students. The results indicate a significant 20% improvement in vocabulary knowledge following the intervention. Qualitative insights gathered from teacher interviews reveal several critical findings. Teachers reported challenges in integrating cultural values into the teaching, particularly due to limited resources. Nonetheless, they confirmed that storytelling and visual media are instrumental in enhancing vocabulary acquisition and cultural awareness among students. The use of traditional stories not only makes learning more engaging but also helps students relate new vocabulary to their cultural backgrounds. The research highlights the pedagogical benefits of storytelling in EFL instruction and suggests that this approach effectively supports both vocabulary development and cultural literacy. The study recommends further research with larger sample sizes and cross-cultural comparisons to gain a deeper understanding of the long-term effects of storytelling on language proficiency and cultural literacy, especially in similar suburban Indonesian contexts.

The rapid growth of digital technology has revolutionized the educational landscape, with online learning becoming a prominent mode of instruction. This study explores students' self-efficacy in the context of online discussions and presentations in English language learning. The research involved English Education students in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through questionnaires and focus group discussions (FGDs). The questionnaire assessed students' self-efficacy beliefs in their speaking abilities and handling challenging situations during online discussions and presentations. The FGD provided more profound insights into the factors influencing students' experiences with virtual classroom speaking. The findings revealed that many students demonstrated a positive self-efficacy in their speaking abilities during online discussions. They expressed confidence in their communication skills and ability to handle complex tasks. However, limited access to internet connectivity, lack of engagement and social loafing, lack of preparation, students’ English Proficiency, and fear of making mistakes were demotivating factors affecting self-efficacy. The study highlights the importance of fostering a supportive online learning environment to enhance students' self-efficacy. To gain a better understanding of students' self-efficacy in online discussion and presentation, future research could include a more diverse group of students from various institutions and academic levels.
