Abstract

The English Club in one of the extracurricular activities organized by schools from elementary to tertiary level. This activity aims to provide a platform for students to develop their interests and talents, especially in the field of English. SMP 14 Jember is one of the schools located in Antirogo village, Sumbersari Jember district which does not yet have an extracurricular activity program in the field of English or English Club. This happened because there were enough personnel who could help carry out this activity. However, teachers and students have tried to hold activities that are competitions in English when there were students who did internship program at the school. The solution offered is to help initiate and assist the development of English Club extracurricular activities such as story telling, speeches and debating. Implementation methods include: conducting preliminary studies, implementing activities, and evaluating. The targets and outputs that have been achieved include 3 mandatory outputs and one additional output, namely: a scientific article published in the Community Service journal, an article in print/electronic mass media, a video of activities, and increasing partner empowerment, namely the formation of the English Club extracurricular activity at SMP 14 Jember.

Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study investigates the application of English-speaking skills in authentic service encounters at the Tourist Information Centre (TIC) in Banyuwangi, East Java. Drawing on approximately 10 observed interactions with both domestic and international tourists—including visitors from Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia—the study identifies four key stages of communication: information delivery, feedback provision, negotiation, and agreement confirmation. These stages reveal the strategic use of clarification, turn-taking, and negotiation techniques in real-time exchanges. The findings suggest that effective and adaptive spoken English significantly contributes to improved service quality and tourist satisfaction. By analyzing how TIC staff engage in interactive speaking practices, this research highlights the practical importance of communicative competence in tourism settings and provides insights for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) education.

Abstract

English language proficiency tests have become an integral part of English language learning. Several standardized English proficiency tests are offered to test takers for various purposes. TOEFL, IELTS and TOEIC are those that are widely recognized internationally. Standardized English tests have also been developed by institutions in Indonesia, such as TAEP by the University of Muhammadiyah Malang and TOEP (PKBI) by the Indonesian Test Service Center (PLTI). However, to date, there are still no similar tests administered by institutions in Indonesia specifically designed for vocational contexts. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the needs of developing a blueprint for the English proficiency test of Jember State Polytechnic (Polije) with a vocational nuance referring to the Common European Framework of Reference. Data were obtained through interviews with the Head of the Language Center of Polije, analysis of existing documents of the test blueprint and samples, analysis of the development of departments at Polije for the consideration of the vocational aspects, and analysis of the CEFR which will serve as the reference of the blueprint. The results of the data analysis will serve as the basis for developing a blueprint for the Polije English proficiency test with a vocational nuance referring to the CEFR.

Abstract

Karangpring Village, Sukorambi District, Jember Regency, has considerable natural and cultural tourism potential that continues to be developed. However, the local community's readiness to communicate in English as part of tourism services remains limited. This community service program aimed to describe the implementation of a Basic English for Tourism training program and examine its role in improving the community's communication readiness to support village tourism development. The training involved 12 participants representing the Youth Organization (Karang Taruna), Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes), village facilitators, and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The program was conducted through four stages: material presentation, guided practice, communication practice through role play, and evaluation. The training focused on giving directions, greeting visitors, and introducing oneself and the tourist destination by using local tourism attractions as learning contexts. The results showed that participants were highly engaged and gradually became able to use basic English expressions in simulated tourism service situations. Although many participants were initially hesitant and struggled to communicate, continuous guidance through role play helped improve their confidence and willingness to speak English. The evaluation results also indicated positive participant responses regarding the training materials, delivery, and overall benefits. Therefore, the Basic English for Tourism training can serve as an initial step in strengthening the communication capacity of local communities to support the development of Karangpring Village as a tourist destination.

Abstract

Professionalism is a cornerstone of success in the tourism industry, underscoring the need for targeted skill development among students pursuing tourism-related education. Recognising this, Politeknik Negeri Jember (Polije) launched the Edu tourism teaching factory. This innovative initiative integrates Tourism Destination Study Program students into real-world industry environments, fostering professionalism through experiential learning. This effort aligns with Polije’s outcome-based education framework, emphasising the production of industry-ready graduates. A critical component of this initiative is the development of structured teaching materials that address the specific aspects of professionalism required in the tourism sector. However, identifying these components necessitates comprehensive research into students’ perceptions and industry needs. Grounded in the context of global tourism, where professionalism directly impacts service quality and customer satisfaction, this qualitative study explores the requirements for teaching materials that promote professionalism. Using simple random sampling, 125 students were surveyed, complemented by interviews with program managers, Edu tourism administrators, and student representatives. The Miles and Huberman technique was employed for data analysis, integrating triangulated survey and interview data. Key findings revealed that students prioritise politeness, communication skills, and respect, followed by attention to detail, helpfulness, and consideration. Preferred teaching tools include bilingual video tutorials on service excellence, reflecting the industry’s global nature. This study has significant implications for global tourism education and practice. It addresses the critical need to standardise professionalism training. By aligning teaching materials with real-world industry demands, this research supports enhancing service standards and fostering a globally competitive tourism workforce.

Abstract

This study explores the pivotal role of language in fostering cross-cultural appreciation among Indonesian International Student Mobility Awards (IISMA) awardees. We examined the experiences of two awardees of prestigious international exchange programs to understand how language acquisition and use influenced their cultural perceptions and interactions. Using a mixed-methods approach, we conducted in-depth interviews and administered surveys to gather data on the participants’ language learning journeys, intercultural communications, and shifts in cultural perspectives. The selected participants represented diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds and completed exchanges in countries where they needed to navigate a foreign language. Our findings reveal that language proficiency significantly enhanced the awardees’ ability to appreciate and engage with host cultures. Key themes emerged, including: 1) the role of language as a gateway to deeper cultural understanding; 2) Challenges and breakthroughs in intercultural communication; 3) The impact of idiomatic expressions on cultural insight; 4) Changes in self-perception and cultural identity through language learning; and 5) The development of empathy and cultural relativism. Quantitative data indicated a strong positive correlation between language proficiency and measures of cultural appreciation. Qualitative analysis provided rich insights into the nuanced ways language shaped the awardees’ cross-cultural experiences. This research contributes to our understanding of the intricate relationship between language and culture in international education contexts. It offers valuable implications for enhancing student exchange programs and promoting global citizenship through targeted language and cultural learning strategies.
