Abstract

This study investigates the opinions of Universitas Nias fifth-semester English students about using English-language movies to improve their listening skill. Numerous studies have demonstrated that seeing movies can help students learn vocabulary, pronounce words correctly, and understand other accents. But few research has explicitly examined how students view this approach. Focus group discussions (FGDs) and structured interviews with 14 participants were used to gather data for this study, which uses a qualitative descriptive methodology. Key themes in the students' answers were found through the application of thematic analysis. The results show that students view English-language movies as a useful resource for enhancing their listening skill, particularly when it comes to recognizing various accents and genuine speech patterns. But obstacles like frantic conversations, strange vocabulary, and the need for subtitles continue to impede their development. According to the study, the learning process can be maximized by choosing relevant movies, progressively cutting back on the use of subtitles, and incorporating discussions. These results advance our knowledge of audiovisual learning techniques and offer suggestions to teachers on how to create engaging listening lessons.

Abstract

Coastal tourism remains a primary driver of regional development, yet its sustainability is frequently compromised by the quality of local governance. Fodo Beach in Gunungsitoli presents a unique paradox where significant natural aesthetic capital is currently overshadowed by operational decline and infrastructure decay. This study aims to explore the disconnect between the destination’s natural potential and its management reality while identifying the specific factors contributing to its stagnation. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with family owners, visitors, and tourism officials, supplemented by field observations and thematic analysis. The findings reveal a "Strategic Gap" where high-value natural assets are neutralized by a lack of professional hospitality standards and deteriorating facilities. The informal, family-based management structure serves as the primary barrier to professionalization, characterized by a lack of standard operating procedures and "resource poverty" in human capital. Consequently, Fodo Beach has transitioned into a decline stage within its lifecycle, where enduring natural beauty can no longer compensate for systemic management neglect. This study implies that reversing the decline requires a fundamental shift from informal family-centric ownership toward professionalized governance or public-private partnerships to restore the destination's competitiveness.
