Abstract

This research investigates students’ perceptions of using group work and student-created videos in a Speaking for Professional Communication course. Working in groups of 4–5 members, students collaborated to produce video projects and role-play authentic situations. Data were collected through video documentation and questionnaires and analysed using descriptive and qualitative content analyses. The findings indicate that group work offers several significant educational benefits. It promotes students' creativity through collaborative idea generation and problem-solving, enhances communication skills by encouraging discussion and constructive interaction, and strengthens teamwork through shared responsibility and cooperation. In addition, collaborative learning improves students' understanding of the course content by allowing them to learn from peers and exchange different perspectives. Most importantly, group work creates meaningful learning experiences by fostering active engagement, increasing confidence, and developing essential interpersonal and collaborative competencies that extend beyond the classroom. It is also viewed as effective because it supports easier problem-solving, produces higher-quality outcomes, encourages open communication, boosts motivation, and promotes ongoing feedback. The findings revealed that students viewed the teacher's implementation of group work positively. They reported that the instructional approach facilitated effective communication by encouraging the exchange of ideas, strengthened collaboration through shared responsibilities and peer interaction, and enabled the teacher to identify students' academic challenges, monitor group dynamics, and provide appropriate instructional support. Additionally, students prefer group work because it helps build leadership, presentation, confidence, and motivation, making learning more active, engaging, and effective.

Abstract

As the province's capital, Kupang City has adequate communication and internet infrastructure, with an internet penetration rate above 70%. However, not all MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise) actors have optimally utilized these facilities to advance their businesses. Lele Bumbu is one such MSME that remains stagnant, even though catfish consumption in Indonesia remains one of the main protein sources with consistently high demand. Due to limited capital and low digital literacy, Lele Bumbu operates as a home-based industry and has not utilized digital marketing effectively. This community service program (PkM) aims to assist and train Lele Bumbu to improve product quality, establish proper management, and adopt digital marketing and financial technology, ultimately creating a strong digital brand. The method employed uses a PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) approach through collecting primary and secondary data, focus group discussions (FGD), and implementation via socialization, training, and mentoring for business owners. The PkM activities increased business owners' capacity to master digital marketing, financial recording applications, and business management. Based on the analysis, business management capacity improved by more than 70%, the ability to use marketing and financial applications increased by more than 75%, and product quality improved by 50% regarding the product and its packaging.
