Abstract

Kegiatan Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini dilaksanakan di SMA Negeri 2 Bukittinggi dengan tujuan meningkatkan keterampilan menulis argumentatif siswa melalui penerapan pendekatan pembelajaran yang inovatif dan berpusat pada peserta didik. Permasalahan yang dihadapi adalah rendahnya kemampuan menulis argumentatif siswa yang ditunjukkan oleh kesulitan dalam mengembangkan ide, menyusun argumen secara logis, dan menggunakan bukti pendukung secara tepat. Kondisi tersebut dipengaruhi oleh penerapan pembelajaran konvensional yang masih berorientasi pada guru dan kurang memberikan kesempatan kepada siswa untuk berpartisipasi secara aktif. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan ini menerapkan pendekatan Flipped Classroom berbasis Project-Based Learning (PjBL) yang mengintegrasikan pembelajaran mandiri melalui video dan materi digital di luar kelas dengan kegiatan proyek kolaboratif di dalam kelas yang berfokus pada penyusunan esai argumentatif bertema isu-isu aktual. Subjek kegiatan berjumlah 20 siswa kelas XI SMA Negeri 2 Bukittinggi. Desain kegiatan menggunakan kuasi-eksperimen dengan pola pre-test dan post-test. Instrumen yang digunakan meliputi tes keterampilan menulis argumentatif, lembar observasi, dan angket respons siswa. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan keterampilan menulis argumentatif sebesar 20%, meningkatnya motivasi belajar, serta berkembangnya keterampilan berpikir kritis, kolaborasi, dan komunikasi siswa. Kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi terhadap pengembangan inovasi pembelajaran bahasa Indonesia di era digital, khususnya dalam meningkatkan kompetensi literasi dan keterampilan menulis argumentatif siswa di SMA Negeri 2 Bukittinggi.

Abstract

Think-Pair-Share (TPS) provides a structured progression from individual preparation to peer rehearsal and whole-class speaking, making it relevant to English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms where students often need cognitive and social support before speaking publicly. This descriptive quantitative study examined English Education students’ perceptions of TPS in English speaking activities across four functional dimensions: idea preparation, peer support, speaking confidence, and classroom participation. Data from 40 students were collected using a 20-item five-point Likert questionnaire. Negatively worded items were reverse-scored before descriptive analysis. The overall perception was positive (M = 3.79, SD = 0.19), with 66.75% of all scored responses falling in the agree or strongly agree categories. Peer support received the highest mean (M = 3.97, SD = 0.36), followed by classroom participation (M = 3.86, SD = 0.43), idea preparation (M = 3.71, SD = 0.32), and speaking confidence (M = 3.63, SD = 0.44). Item-level results showed strong appreciation for partner discussion and post-pair participation, but also revealed continuing fear and reluctance during public sharing. Internal consistency was low (Cronbach’s α = .206), so the findings are interpreted descriptively and with caution. The results suggest that TPS may be perceived as more supportive for collaborative preparation than for eliminating affective barriers to public speaking.Keywords: Think-Pair-Share; speaking activities; students’ perceptions; EFL; cooperative learning

Abstract

The rapid transformation of the tourism industry requires English teaching materials that extend beyond linguistic competence to prepare graduates for increasingly complex professional communication. However, existing English for Specific Purposes (ESP) materials for hospitality and tourism remain largely dominated by transactional communication, with limited attention to local identity, destination interpretation, and contemporary tourism competencies. This limitation may leave students insufficiently prepared to communicate local cultural knowledge and represent their destinations to international visitors. This study aims to identify the English teaching material needs of hospitality and tourism students in the Language Education Program in Mandailing Natal, Indonesia, and to develop a conceptual framework integrating local identity into ESP instruction. Employing a sequential exploratory mixed-methods design, qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with lecturers, students, and tourism stakeholders, followed by quantitative validation using a structured five-point Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 30 hospitality and tourism students. The questionnaire was validated for content and assessed for internal consistency before administration. The findings reveal six interrelated competencies needed in English teaching materials: linguistic accuracy, destination explanation, customer interaction awareness, destination storytelling, digital communication, and sustainable tourism communication, grounded in local history, culture, and environmental heritage. Based on these findings, the study proposes the Identity-Driven English Teaching Materials Framework, which positions local identity as the organising principle for developing professional communicative competence. The framework extends conventional ESP by integrating language learning with cultural interpretation, community knowledge, digital engagement, and destination sustainability, providing practical guidance for developing locally grounded yet internationally relevant English teaching materials.
