Abstract

As vocational English emphasizes authentic workplace communication and digital literacy, this study examined integration of innovation technology and pedagogy in a vocational school. It investigated how vocational English teachers used technology innovation in the classroom, the opportunities it offered to help students become more proficient in the language, and the challenges encountered when putting it into practice. Fifteen English teachers of SMKN 2 Palembang, Indonesia, became the participants. A descriptive qualitative method was used as interviews, observations in the classroom, and documentation were conducted to gather data. The results of thematic analysis demonstrated how they incorporated interactive learning platforms, internet applications, and multimedia presentations into their lesson plans. Furthermore, it facilitated real-world, student-centered learning opportunities related to professional communication requirements and vocational contexts. There were still a number of issues, such as inadequate technology resources, inadequate training for teachers, erratic internet access, and disparities in students' digital competence. This study contributes to vocational English education by showing how innovative technology and pedagogy improve students' communication skills, learning engagement, and workplace preparedness while addressing the implementation challenges.

Abstract

For students in vocational higher education, the development of critical thinking, public speaking, and argumentation abilities is crucial. Members of Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya's English Debating Society (EDS) encountered difficulties in comprehending and using the British Parliamentary (BP) debate format, which is used in national and international competitions. Through organized training and mentorship exercises, this community service program sought to improve members' debate skills. 35 EDS members participated in the program, which included workshops, debate simulations, adjudication practice, and one-on-one feedback sessions. Pre-tests, post-tests, participant surveys, and observations were used to evaluate the program. The findings showed that participants' comprehension of BP debate structure, argument creation, rebuttal strategies, and Point of Information (POI) delivery had significantly improved. Between the pre-test and the post-test, the average participant score rose from 62.4 to 84.7. During debate sessions, participants also showed improved critical thinking abilities and increased self-assurance in public speaking. The program effectively improved vocational higher education students' debating skills and offered a long-lasting paradigm for debate instruction in student organizations.

Abstract

For final-year English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students, producing final reports is an important academic milestone. However, little research has been done on how students feel about this process in vocational higher education settings. The purpose of this study was to look into the actual experiences of final-year Diploma III EFL students when preparing their final reports. Twelve final-year students from Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya's English Study Program participated in semi-structured interviews to gather data using a qualitative phenomenological approach. Thematic analysis was then used for analysis. Academic and research-related difficulties, emotional experiences, sources of support, coping mechanisms, and academic and personal development were the five main themes that emerged from the findings. Finding pertinent references, writing literature reviews, analyzing data, structuring ideas, and using academic writing conventions in English were all challenges faced by the participants. Stress, perplexity, frustration, exhaustion, anxiety, and self-doubt frequently accompanied these difficulties. However, students were able to handle them and maintain their motivation with the help of peers, family, supervisors, and online resources. Goal-setting, time management, asking for help, sticking to regular work schedules, and self-motivation were among the coping mechanisms used by them. The final report writing process was seen as a life-changing event that improved research competency, academic writing skills, critical thinking, independence, resilience, confidence, and problem-solving abilities despite the obstacles. The study comes to the conclusion that writing final reports is a significant learning experience that advances students' academic, personal, and professional development in addition to being a graduation requirement.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the barriers to intercultural communication that Indonesian international students encounter in South Korea and to propose a solution. A qualitative descriptive methodology, utilizing in-depth interviews for data gathering, was employed. The study involved interviews with 27 IISMA recipients to gain insights into their experiences with intercultural communication. The results showed that participants struggled to communicate effectively with people from other cultures while studying in South Korea. These problems included anxiety, the assumption that people were more alike than different, ethnocentrism, assumptions, biases, language difficulties, and difficulties with nonverbal communication. This study identified methods to overcome intercultural communication obstacles, enabling international students to develop self-awareness and deepen their cultural understanding, thereby fostering positive relationships with peers, learning the Korean language, utilizing translation applications, being kind and leaving a positive impression on the South Korean local community.
