Abstract

The aim of this review is to analyze and synthesize existing literature on the effectiveness of Grammarly in improving undergraduate students' writing skills, which is crucial for their success in higher education. To achieve this, the writers conducted a search for ten relevant studies on Scopus and Science Direct journals. Through this evaluation, the study aims to shed light on the impact of Grammarly on the writing abilities of undergraduate students. Although Grammarly provides automatic feedback on sentence structure, its usefulness as a writing support tool for undergraduate students in higher education institutions is limited due to its restricted capacity to reformulate sentences, particularly when converting passive voice into active voice. The study suggests that future versions of Grammarly should incorporate advanced paraphrasing capabilities to enhance its effectiveness. This research highlights the significance of writing skills in higher education institutions and the advantages and limitations of artificial intelligence tools such as Grammarly.

Abstract

It cannot be hindered that needs analysis is a crucial element of English for Specific Purposes theory. Without it, effective communication in targeted domains cannot be achieved. Since ESP is linked to their field of study it presupposes that student chose to be extra curious in comprehending issues related to their domain of study or work, which should have a connection between components and English skills. This study examines students' requirements for learning English for specific purposes, encompassing their needs, preferences, and areas of deficiency, with a focus on multidimensional learning needs. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. This study employed several techniques to collect data, including conducting interviews with students enrolled in English for Business Management (ESP) courses during their second semester. The results of this research were analyzed using Hutchinson and Waters (1987) theory of needs analysis. Researchers found that students have a high need to learn English; they desire to improve their speaking skills for work, but there is a gap between their current proficiency level and what they need.   It is highly recommended for students who are planning to pursue a degree in management studies to possess an intermediate level of proficiency in the English language before starting their academic journey. Therefore, it is advisable for students in the management study program to have at least an intermediate level of English proficiency before commencing their studies. This strategy ensures their ability to address their English learning requirements effectively.

Abstract

Pengembangan desa wisata merupakan salah satu strategi penting dalam meningkatkan daya tarik pariwisata daerah sekaligus memberdayakan masyarakat lokal. Desa Wisata Karawang memiliki potensi wisata alam dan budaya yang cukup besar, namun masih menghadapi kendala dalam hal kesiapan sumber daya manusia, terutama kemampuan berbahasa Inggris sebagai salah satu kompetensi utama seorang pemandu wisata (tour guide).

Metode yang digunakan meliputi pelatihan intensif bahasa Inggris pariwisata, praktik komunikasi langsung melalui simulasi pemanduan wisata, serta pendampingan berkelanjutan untuk membangun kepercayaan diri peserta. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan dalam penguasaan kosakata, kemampuan berbicara, serta sikap percaya diri peserta saat memandu wisatawan. Melalui kegiatan ini, masyarakat desa mulai menunjukkan kesiapan untuk menjadi pelaku utama dalam pengelolaan pariwisata lokal secara berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a crucial skill for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, particularly in the context of standardized language proficiency assessments. This study examines the test-taking challenges encountered by 30 non-English major university students during their initial experience with the EnglishScore reading test, an adaptive, mobile-based English assessment developed by the British Council. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design, the study collected data through open-ended reflections and analyzed them using a thematic analysis approach. Researchers identified five main categories of difficulty: (1) time pressure, (2) vocabulary limitation, (3) text complexity, (4) translation and interpretation challenges, and (5) test unfamiliarity and strategic disorientation. The findings indicate that learners experienced difficulties that were multidimensional and mutually reinforcing, as linguistic, cognitive, and procedural gaps converged to impede their performance. Limited vocabulary knowledge and dependence on literal translation strategies negatively impacted comprehension. Additionally, stringent time constraints and unfamiliar digital formats exacerbated anxiety and cognitive overload. These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive reading instruction that encompasses vocabulary development, strategic reading skills, and practice with simulated testing—particularly for EFL learners who are unfamiliar with high-stakes, time-restricted digital assessments. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on mobile-based reading assessment and highlights important implications for curriculum designers, educators, and test developers.

Abstract

Lecturers can effectively teach students to write expository texts, specifically job application letters, using a genre-based approach. This instructional method enhances students' comprehension of text types, the schematic structure of the text, linguistic characteristics, and the social function associated with this text type. This study aims to investigate the application of the genre-based approach in teaching expository writing with a focus on job application letters. The research participants consist of management students at a private university in Karawang who are enrolled in English for business management. The research design adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, incorporating observation of the exposition text learning process with a job application letter, interviews to appraise students' perceptions, and analysis of documentation, specifically the students' writing samples. The findings and subsequent discussion reveal the lecturer's commitment to effectively implementing each stage of the genre-based approach in teaching expository writing. The lecture demonstrates meticulous planning by developing a syllabus, lesson plans, and targeted instructional strategies. Additionally, the interview data indicates that students require sufficient time and guidance to master the writing of job application letters within the context of expository texts. However, the students ultimately display proficient writing skills in composing well-structured expository texts in English. Furthermore, the analysis of the documentation, comprising the students' writing samples, corroborates the successful outcomes of the job application letter compositions, which were achieved through iterative feedback provided by the lecturer. In conclusion, this research highlights the lecturer's successful implementation of the genre-based approach in student learning.

Abstract

The community engagement program for developing tourism villages in Karawang Regency aimed to strengthen local capacity in the legalization process through a participatory pentahelix approach. This framework integrates collaboration among academics, local government, entrepreneurs, communities, and the media to establish an adaptive and sustainable governance system. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method with a participatory model emphasizing experiential learning. The program involved 33 participants from eleven partner villages, covering stages of socialization, thematic training, technical assistance, and evaluation. The results revealed an 85% increase in participants’ understanding of tourism village legalization standards, nine villages successfully drafted preliminary tourism village profiles aligned with the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy’s indicators, and multi-stakeholder collaboration strengthened the institutional process. These findings indicate that the pentahelix approach not only enhances administrative readiness but also reinforces the role of local communities as primary agents of community-based tourism. Despite its success, the short duration and wide coverage remain constraints, suggesting the need for extended assistance and digital capacity development. The program is expected to accelerate tourism village legalization in Karawang and serve as a replicable model for sustainable local tourism development.
