Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan dasar berbahasa Inggris pelaku wisata lokal di kawasan Air Terjun Oenesu, Kabupaten Kupang. Kawasan ini memiliki potensi wisata alam yang tinggi, namun belum diimbangi dengan kesiapan sumber daya manusia dalam memberikan pelayanan prima, terutama kepada wisatawan mancanegara. Kegiatan pelatihan dilakukan selama satu hari dengan pendekatan kualitatif partisipatif, melibatkan peserta secara aktif dalam simulasi percakapan, diskusi, dan praktik langsung situasi wisata. Hasil observasi dan wawancara menunjukkan adanya peningkatan antusiasme, kesadaran, dan kepercayaan diri peserta dalam menggunakan ungkapan-ungkapan dasar bahasa Inggris. Kegiatan ini terbukti menjadi strategi pemberdayaan yang efektif dalam pengembangan kapasitas masyarakat lokal. Diharapkan program ini dapat menjadi model pelatihan yang replikatif untuk kawasan wisata lainnya di Nusa Tenggara Timur.

Abstract

The purpose of this research article is to address the following inquiries: (1) Can tenth-grade students proficiently acquire the present continuous tense through game-based instruction? (2) What is their proficiency level? (3) Do games effectively teach the present continuous tense to tenth grade students at SMAK Giovanni? To address those inquiries, the researcher used a descriptive method because it is used to describe the students’ mastery in the present continuous tense. The participants of the study consisted of tenth grade students from SMAK Giovanni Kupang. Fifteen students, who were all selected as subjects for the researcher's study, comprised the level. The researcher employed lesson plans and tests to get the data. The researcher devised three instructional approaches to teach the present continuous tense through the utilization of games. During the experiment, the researcher administered two tests: a pre-test and a post-test. Only three students demonstrated successful performance in the pre-test results. The class had a low level of proficiency. By incorporating game-based instruction, the students' performance and overall understanding of the subject matter showed noticeable improvement.

Abstract

Teaching English to students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in inclusive classrooms is a challenge for lecturers as they must take into account a variety of factors, including the type of disability students have, students’ English proficiency level, and effective learning strategies. Educational institutions may not provide adequate resources to support the teaching process, including adapted textbooks, learning software, or other instructional aids. Although there are several books and articles that focus on teaching English to students with SEN, most of the resources are not available to teachers who do not have institutional access to academic literature or funds to purchase them. Therefore, there is a need for adequate literature and preparation programs that provide lecturers with practices and strategies to teach English to SEN students. This qualitative study aims to analyze the practice of teaching English in inclusive classrooms at the university level by exploring the policies and challenges faced by lecturers who teach students with SEN. In addition, this study also aims to explore the approaches or strategies used to overcome the challenges that arise. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that although inclusive policies have been generally adopted, their implementation still faces various obstacles, such as limited resources, lack of lecturer training, and minimal adaptation of the curriculum and teaching materials. On the other hand, various strategies have been developed, including differentiated learning approaches, the use of adaptive media, and active involvement of lecturers in designing learning strategies that suit students' needs. This study concludes that effective and inclusive English teaching requires synergy between institutional policies, lecturers’ readiness, and ongoing support systems.
