Abstract

Despite the pivotal role of local tour guides to promote tourist attractions in their region, most of them cannot use English communicatively. There is a need to upskill their English level through a training program. This study aims to evaluate Trenggalek’s local tour guides after joining a series of training on Speaking and Writing in English. This study employs a qualitative design with the test results analysis. Five tour guides were tested through verbal and written assessment through a contextualized framework that fit Indonesians’ characteristics as EFL learners. Their abilities were analyzed through adapted rubrics and scoring criteria. Results show that only a few tour guides successfully upgraded their English skills. However, they showed more diverse Speaking abilities compared to their Writing ability. These findings imply that more focus should be put on the training of Speaking skill, and that more workshops should be presented in series coupled with follow-up activities to get tour guides used to using English.

Abstract

This research focuses on the critique of modernism as an effort to preserve the ocean in Okky Madasari’s Mata dan Manusia Laut (Mata and the Sea Man). Modernism, which is considered the pinnacle of human civilization, is actually depicted in this novel as exploiting the sea. The purpose of this study is to reveal how sea preservation efforts in children’s novels are presented through issues of contradiction with modernism. By using a descriptive qualitative method  based on Todorrov’s structuralism perspective, especially regarding point of view, the results of this study are that there is a binary opposition between the lives of the land people who are advanced in civilization and the sea people who are considered primitive, giving rise to a hierarchical relationship between subject and object. However, the Bajo tribe which maintains their local beliefs actually shows behavior in protecting and caring for the sea, in contrast to modernists who use technology to exploit the exoticism of the sea. Thus, it can be concluded that this novel contains character education values regarding: (1) the mindset of modernism must be positioned in balance with the values of local wisdom of the Indonesian people, (2) local beliefs that are considered irrational are actually capable of maintaining sea preservation.

Abstract

Located at Taman Kili-kili Beach, Wonocoyo Village, Panggul District, Trenggalek Regency, the PKM (Community Service) Education team of UPN Veteran East Java successfully held a tour guide training program and developed a bilingual guidebook in English and Indonesian on June 28, 2024. The training was attended by the Head of the Tourism and Culture Office of Trenggalek Regency, Drs. Sunyoto, and involved approximately 30 participants from Wonocoyo Tourism Village and Nglebeng Tourism Village. Wonocoyo Tourism Village is renowned for its natural attractions, including Kili-kili Park (a turtle hatchery), Pelang Beach, and its waterfall. Meanwhile, Nglebeng Tourism Village is known for the increasingly popular Kuyon Beach, located near rice fields and rows of fishing boats. With their promising potential, both villages are being developed as leading sustainable tourism destinations in Trenggalek, East Java, and potentially at the international level. To support this goal, the availability of bilingual guidebooks and trained tour guides is essential. The program contributes directly to SDG 4.4, by enhancing relevant skills for employment in the tourism sector, and to SDG 8.9, by promoting sustainable tourism that creates jobs and showcases local culture and nature. This initiative also supports community empowerment by equipping local residents with knowledge, communication skills, and tools to independently promote their tourism assets. The bilingual guidebook is expected to aid tour guides and tourism actors in effectively communicating the unique tourism potential of Wonocoyo and Nglebeng Villages to both domestic and international visitors.
