Abstract

Community service as one of the Tri dharmas that must be carried out by lecturers aims to provide knowledge and experience regarding the use of English in the scope of daily activities and the working atmosphere of ASN in the Province of West Sumatra. This training is packaged through a hybrid workshop held during the Covid 19 pandemic which was taken place from 9-18 March 2022. The focus of this training activity is the mastery of spoken English, correspondence, and TOEFL to support the role of ASN as public servants. This material is based on the results of a pre-test conducted a few days before the training day which concluded that most of the selected ASN in the province of West Sumatra is at the Basic to Intermediate level. This service team is STBA Prayoga lecturers who have the duties and functions of a planning and implementing team. The implementation phase included the process of providing material through zoom meetings and Moodle for 3 days and then continuing with the implementation of community service activities for 5 days. The results of the service show that ASN who take part in the training are able to use English actively in the form of presentations, understand how to correspond formally and formally, and increase TOEFL scores.

Abstract

This study examined whether written English serves as a communication tool or a branding language in Padang. The study focuses on English as a communication tool and branding language, its structural features as a branding language, and the motives for using it in this capacity. This study uses a qualitative, quantitative, and Linguistic Landscape approach. The Data for this study are the use and placement of English in public spaces in Padang City, including on public roads, markets, malls, hotels, cafes, the names of business units, tourist attractions, and other strategic places. The questionnaire was distributed via Google Forms to 94 respondents to gather their views on the role of English as a branding language. Written English posted or used in public spaces, as mentioned above, was photographed. Data analysis was conducted using the intralingual extralingual method. The results of this study indicate that written English in public spaces in Padang primarily serves as branding language. When compared with Indonesian and Minangkabau, English and Minangkabau are more likely to convey information. Except for places like hotels and educational institutions, especially universities, English serves as both a branding language and a means of conveying information.
