Abstract

Blimbing Village, Boja District, Kendal Regency is a tourist village where most of the population own small and medium micro enterprises (UMKM), one of which is fermented sticky rice (tape ketan) UMKM. Tape Ketan is a unique traditional Indonesian food that should be developed and introduced more widely nationally and internationally because of its various benefits. Based on the observations made by the PKM team, Tape Ketan producers face obstacles, namely the need for widespread product marketing and limited business capital. From these obstacles, the PKM team from the English Education Study Program UPGRIS provided a solution employing unique and creative product labeling in English so that sticky rice tape products are known to the public internationally. Creating brands, labeling and packaging products in English, and exploring the benefits and efficacy of products are the primary materials for the team, which is carried out in three stages: training, mentoring, and evaluation. The result obtained after going through these stages is a label design that has a brand and has been realized in packaging tape products. All product labeling is in English. The work results were evaluated, and the feedback from the practitioner was excellent in terms of term usage, wording, and product descriptions.

Abstract

The study aimed at investigating the effects of autonomous pronunciation learning using AI as well as the experiences of autonomous pronunciation learning using AI by higher level students. Explanatory sequential mixed-method research using both quantitative and qualitative methods was employed within thirty-two students from Universitas PGRI Semarang's first-year students serving as the sample. Assessments, interviews, and an evaluation of instructional materials were used as the instruments. Through pre- and post-testing, quantitative analysis was used to evaluate the students’ pronunciation proficiency. Quantitative data analysis was done using SPSS. However, a qualitative analysis was used to review the interview. To bolster the findings of the tests, it was descriptively examined. After the treatments using an AI based application named ELSA, there was a significant correlation between the use of AI and autonomous pronunciation learning. However, ELSA has certain shortcomings. It appears to be primarily concerned with segmental than suprasegmental features. Only intonation is available from among all the features offered to practice suprasegmental features. While students found it difficult to emphasize words, there is no other practice for suprasegmental qualities. In reality, the ELSA website states that its curriculum covers core English skills such as word stress, intonation, rhythm, listening, and conversation. As a result, the ELSA creator may take this criticism into consideration as they continue to improve their product. It implies that the creator is responsive to the concerns or suggestions of their customers or users, which can contribute to the ongoing development and success of the product.
