Abstract

EMI (English as Medium of Instruction) is an innovative teaching approach where subjects other than English are taught to the students in English, a second or foreign language. This approach has been widely adopted in European and Asian tertiary education institutions, including Indonesia. However, only a limited number of research has been carried out to reveal the student’s perception of the advantages and drawbacks of the implementation in the country. This study, therefore, aimed at investigating the students’ perceptions of the advantages and drawbacks of EMI implementation in one state university in Bali, Indonesia. This study employed mixed-method research, which was carried out with 130 participants enrolled in the international class initiation. The obtained data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The results of the study showed five significant advantages of EMI class: cognitive advantages, resource availability, rich exposure to English and chances to use it, career opportunity, and improvement of students’ motivation in English. However, EMI students also encountered challenges such as difficulties comprehending lectures/materials, taking tests, and low participation in classroom discussions.

Abstract

The article discusses a needs analysis for developing a digital interpreting module, with an emphasis on consecutive and simultaneous interpreting in higher education. This study employed a qualitative survey design in which questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from six professional interpreters. Key competencies, existing learning gaps, and digital learning needs were identified using descriptive and thematic analyses. The findings show that interpreting practice is commonly used in educational and tourism settings, such as workshops and field trips, where contextualized learning resources are required. The most crucial skill was the understanding of the tone, intent, and accents. Then, it was followed by stress management and cultural awareness. Another interesting aspect discussed in the article is the increasing use of web-based interpreting tools like Zoom, with minimal use of AI and LMS simulations.

Abstract

A job interview is a significant factor in the recruiting and selection process, particularly in the hospitality sector, where English is widely spoken. Despite their importance, there are only a few empirical research works dedicated to English job interviews in the hospitality environment. This study aims to examine the nature of job interviews in the hospitality industry based on human resource (HR) practitioners in terms of interview preparation, interview types, interview type questions, evaluation of the candidates, and interview etiquette. A qualitative research strategy was employed with 20 HR professionals in Bali through a validated questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The findings show structured interviews are the most preferred type of interviews, followed by unstructured and behavioural interviews, respectively. Some of the most significant measured competencies are problem-solving, leadership, interpersonal, adaptability, and personal qualities. In addition to that, HR professionals emphasize professional interview etiquette, which involves punctuality, good appearance, attitude, and honesty. This study concludes that interviews are to be combined with other selection methods, which will lead to a more profound assessment of the applicants. These findings are applicable to the English for Specific Purposes (ESP), particularly in developing English job interview instructional materials for hospitality students.AbstrakWawancara kerja merupakan faktor penting dalam proses rekrutmen dan seleksi, terutama di sektor hospitality di mana bahasa Inggris banyak digunakan. Meskipun penting, hanya sedikit penelitian empiris yang fokus pada wawancara kerja dalam bahasa Inggris di lingkungan perhotelan. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis wawancara kerja di industri perhotelan berdasarkan persepsi praktisi sumber daya manusia (SDM) dalam hal persiapan wawancara, jenis wawancara, pertanyaan dalam wawancara, evaluasi calon, dan etika wawancara. Strategi penelitian kualitatif diterapkan dengan melibatkan 20 profesional SDM di Bali melalui kuesioner yang telah tervalidasi dan wawancara semi-terstruktur. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa wawancara terstruktur adalah jenis wawancara yang paling disukai, diikuti oleh wawancara tidak terstruktur dan wawancara perilaku. Beberapa kompetensi yang paling signifikan yang diukur meliputi pemecahan masalah, kepemimpinan, interpersonal, adaptabilitas, dan kualitas pribadi. Selain itu, praktisi SDM menekankan etika wawancara profesional, yang meliputi ketepatan waktu, penampilan yang baik, sikap, dan kejujuran. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa wawancara harus dikombinasikan dengan metode seleksi lain, yang akan menghasilkan penilaian yang lebih mendalam terhadap calon karyawan. Temuan ini berlaku untuk Bahasa Inggris untuk Tujuan Khusus (ESP), khususnya dalam pengembangan materi instruksional wawancara kerja dalam bahasa Inggris untuk mahasiswa perhotelan.
