Abstract

This study investigates the dynamics of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction at STIES Mitra Karya within the current digital academic environment. With the integration of digital platforms such as Learning Management Systems (LMS) and the adoption of blended learning approaches, ESP teaching has evolved to become more flexible, contextualized, and aligned with the professional needs of students in the fields of economics and business. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation analysis. The findings reveal that digital technologies have significantly enriched the learning process, enhancing accessibility and engagement. However, challenges persist, particularly regarding infrastructure limitations, digital literacy gaps, and the readiness of human resources. Institutional support, including the provision of training programs, network enhancement, and innovation incentives, is identified as critical to the successful transformation of ESP teaching. This study emphasizes the need for sustainable strategies to ensure the ongoing effectiveness and resilience of ESP instruction in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and analyze engaging and easily accessible writing instruction strategies for beginner university students. Writing skills pose particular challenges for students, especially when faced with academic demands and the use of a foreign language. Conventional, monotonous teaching methods often fail to overcome psychological barriers such as anxiety and lack of motivation in writing. Through a qualitative descriptive approach using a case study of students at STIES Mitra Karya, this research identifies that interest-based strategies, the use of simple visual media, and student collaboration can enhance both motivation and writing quality. The analysis results reveal significant improvements in paragraph structure, sentence transitions, vocabulary, grammar, and writing length after implementing the new strategies. Students also demonstrate a more positive attitude toward writing activities. This study emphasizes the importance of transforming writing instruction into a fun and inclusive learning process, as well as the critical facilitative role of instructors in creating a supportive learning environment.

Abstract

Public speaking is vital for young entrepreneurs to express ideas confidently and clearly. However, many students lack this ability due to limited access to practical training. This program aimed to improve the communication skills of student organization members through practice-based public speaking training. The two-day training was held at the Nahdlatul Ulama Hall in Bekasi City and involved 30 Indonesian Islamic Student Movement participants. The method included lectures, discussions, and business presentation simulations. Evaluation results significantly improved confidence, message structure, and vocal techniques. Participants also expressed greater interest in developing their business ideas. The activity demonstrated that contextual and hands-on training effectively enhances students' communication skills. This program has strong potential to be replicated as a model for empowering youth organizations in developing community-based young entrepreneurs.

Abstract

English language acquisition is indispensable for cultivating communication competencies and fostering intercultural understanding from an early stage. However, Indonesian elementary students frequently encounter difficulties in vocabulary mastery due to repetitive instructional approaches and a deficiency of engaging, visual media tailored to young learners’ concrete learning styles. This research examines the efficacy of the gamified media, Animal Quest, in enhancing students’ English vocabulary. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental methodology, forty first-grade students at SD Negeri 5 Pringsewu Barat were divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests and subsequently analyzed using SPSS 25.0 with paired and independent t-tests. The findings reveal a statistically significant improvement within the experimental group, which demonstrated a higher mean post-test score (87.05) compared to the control group (70.20). These results imply that gamification via Animal Quest effectively enhances vocabulary acquisition, engagement, and motivation among young learners. Furthermore, the study underscores that gamified storytelling media can serve as a valuable instructional innovation within primary English education, aligning with the objectives of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum and encouraging educators to adopt more interactive, student-centered pedagogical practices.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the role of ChatGPT in English writing learning among Islamic Economics students at STIES Mitra Karya Bekasi based on their experiences and perceptions. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed with data collected through in-depth interviews, indirect observations, and documentation of students’ written works using ChatGPT. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that ChatGPT plays a significant role in enhancing students’ writing skills, particularly in enriching vocabulary, improving sentence structure, and increasing motivation and self-confidence in writing. However, several challenges were identified, such as dependence on technology, reduced originality of writing, and decreased critical thinking ability. Therefore, ChatGPT should be positioned as a supportive learning tool rather than a substitute for students’ independent thinking and creativity in academic writing.

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi dan mentalitas siswa dalam mempersiapkan diri menghadapi transisi dari pendidikan menengah ke perguruan tinggi maupun dunia kerja. Latar belakang kegiatan ini adalah adanya kesenjangan informasi dan keterampilan yang dialami siswa menjelang kelulusan, meliputi keterbatasan wawasan tentang jalur masuk perguruan tinggi, strategi pengembangan keterampilan, serta kesiapan mental menghadapi tantangan baru. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 12 Juni 2025 di Aula Utama SMK Mandalahayu Kota Bekasi dengan peserta sebanyak 55 siswa kelas XII. Metode yang digunakan adalah kombinasi pendidikan masyarakat dan pelatihan partisipatif, melalui seminar interaktif, diskusi kelompok, simulasi wawancara kerja, dan latihan penyusunan rencana studi/karier. Tiga narasumber menyampaikan materi terkait persiapan akademik, keterampilan komunikasi, manajemen waktu, dan mentalitas adaptif.

Peningkatan tertinggi terdapat pada keterampilan komunikasi sebesar 41,70%, diikuti mentalitas adaptif 38,70%, dan pengetahuan akademik 35%. Hasil pengamatan lapangan menunjukkan peserta lebih percaya diri, aktif bertanya, dan mampu menyusun rencana studi yang lebih terarah. Kegiatan ini terbukti relevan dengan kebutuhan peserta dan memberikan dampak positif terhadap kesiapan mereka menghadapi masa depan. Disarankan pelaksanaan kegiatan serupa secara berkelanjutan dengan penambahan durasi pendampingan untuk memperkuat hasil yang diperoleh.
