Abstract

Film, in its narrowest definition, refers to the presentation of images on a large screen; however, in a broader context, it may also encompass those broadcast on television. As a mass medium, film is a complex form of audiovisual art. This study employs Roland Barthes' semiotic approach to explore the symbolic significance of the jasmine ronce necklace in Ryan Adriandy's film "Jumbo." The analysis is conducted through two levels: denotation and connotation, along with the concept of myth. The jasmine ronce necklace is interpreted not merely as a physical object but as a cultural and ideological signifier. Findings from this study reveal that the jasmine ronce necklace embodies spiritual meaning, the sanctity of love, and emotional depth, which together construct cultural myths within the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Sidomulyo Tourism Village, located in Jember Regency, has undertaken various initiatives to enhance its appeal as a tourist destination. One such initiative is establishing a new restaurant, Astana Joglo, with a village café concept. Positioned near the Sendang Tirto Gumitir spring, with scenic views of rice fields and coffee plantations, Astana Joglo represents an innovative addition to the village’s tourism offerings. However, to ensure its success, thorough preparation is essential before its operation, particularly regarding human resources and product offerings. This service project aims to enhance the management of Astana Joglo by providing training in service procedures and local-based product development. The training program is structured in four stages: preparation, socialization, training, and evaluation. It covers two main areas: service sequence and local-based product development. The primary beneficiaries of this program are the young, productive-age members of the Sidomulyo Tourism Village management team. The outcomes of this initiative include improved knowledge and skills among participants and the creation of Standard Operating Procedures (S.O.P.) for services at Astana Joglo. The average pretest score for the knowledge component was 3.65 while the posttest score was 6.2. On the other hand, the result of the skill pretest score was 2.7 while the result of the posttest was 5.8. To ensure the long-term sustainability of the training, a medium-term evaluation and monitoring process will be implemented, with active involvement from the young managers to support the ongoing development of the tourism facility.

Abstract

Professionalism is a cornerstone of success in the tourism industry, underscoring the need for targeted skill development among students pursuing tourism-related education. Recognising this, Politeknik Negeri Jember (Polije) launched the Edu tourism teaching factory. This innovative initiative integrates Tourism Destination Study Program students into real-world industry environments, fostering professionalism through experiential learning. This effort aligns with Polije’s outcome-based education framework, emphasising the production of industry-ready graduates. A critical component of this initiative is the development of structured teaching materials that address the specific aspects of professionalism required in the tourism sector. However, identifying these components necessitates comprehensive research into students’ perceptions and industry needs. Grounded in the context of global tourism, where professionalism directly impacts service quality and customer satisfaction, this qualitative study explores the requirements for teaching materials that promote professionalism. Using simple random sampling, 125 students were surveyed, complemented by interviews with program managers, Edu tourism administrators, and student representatives. The Miles and Huberman technique was employed for data analysis, integrating triangulated survey and interview data. Key findings revealed that students prioritise politeness, communication skills, and respect, followed by attention to detail, helpfulness, and consideration. Preferred teaching tools include bilingual video tutorials on service excellence, reflecting the industry’s global nature. This study has significant implications for global tourism education and practice. It addresses the critical need to standardise professionalism training. By aligning teaching materials with real-world industry demands, this research supports enhancing service standards and fostering a globally competitive tourism workforce.

Abstract

This study explores the pivotal role of language in fostering cross-cultural appreciation among Indonesian International Student Mobility Awards (IISMA) awardees. We examined the experiences of two awardees of prestigious international exchange programs to understand how language acquisition and use influenced their cultural perceptions and interactions. Using a mixed-methods approach, we conducted in-depth interviews and administered surveys to gather data on the participants’ language learning journeys, intercultural communications, and shifts in cultural perspectives. The selected participants represented diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds and completed exchanges in countries where they needed to navigate a foreign language. Our findings reveal that language proficiency significantly enhanced the awardees’ ability to appreciate and engage with host cultures. Key themes emerged, including: 1) the role of language as a gateway to deeper cultural understanding; 2) Challenges and breakthroughs in intercultural communication; 3) The impact of idiomatic expressions on cultural insight; 4) Changes in self-perception and cultural identity through language learning; and 5) The development of empathy and cultural relativism. Quantitative data indicated a strong positive correlation between language proficiency and measures of cultural appreciation. Qualitative analysis provided rich insights into the nuanced ways language shaped the awardees’ cross-cultural experiences. This research contributes to our understanding of the intricate relationship between language and culture in international education contexts. It offers valuable implications for enhancing student exchange programs and promoting global citizenship through targeted language and cultural learning strategies.

Abstract

English language proficiency tests have become an integral part of English language learning. Several standardized English proficiency tests are offered to test takers for various purposes. TOEFL, IELTS and TOEIC are those that are widely recognized internationally. Standardized English tests have also been developed by institutions in Indonesia, such as TAEP by the University of Muhammadiyah Malang and TOEP (PKBI) by the Indonesian Test Service Center (PLTI). However, to date, there are still no similar tests administered by institutions in Indonesia specifically designed for vocational contexts. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the needs of developing a blueprint for the English proficiency test of Jember State Polytechnic (Polije) with a vocational nuance referring to the Common European Framework of Reference. Data were obtained through interviews with the Head of the Language Center of Polije, analysis of existing documents of the test blueprint and samples, analysis of the development of departments at Polije for the consideration of the vocational aspects, and analysis of the CEFR which will serve as the reference of the blueprint. The results of the data analysis will serve as the basis for developing a blueprint for the Polije English proficiency test with a vocational nuance referring to the CEFR.

Potensi tersebut juga dikembangkan sebagai daya tarik agrowisata kopi. Namun, sumber daya manusia (SDM) desa wisata belum memiliki pemahaman yang memadai mengenai indikator kualitas kopi robusta, sehingga kurang optimal dalam menyampaikan informasi terkait karakteristik dan keunggulan kopi kepada wisatawan. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan kapasitas SDM Desa Wisata Sidomulyo dalam memahami mutu kopi robusta melalui pelatihan uji cita rasa (cupping) sesuai standar Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). Metode pelaksanaan menggunakan pendekatan Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) yang meliputi lima tahapan, yaitu sosialisasi, penilaian awal, pelatihan, penilaian akhir, dan evaluasi. Mitra kegiatan adalah anggota BUMDES Sidomulyo yang berperan sebagai pengelola desa wisata sekaligus pelaku industri pengolahan kopi. Pelatihan diikuti oleh empat peserta yang dipilih berdasarkan tingkat keaktifan dalam pengembangan industri kopi desa. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kompetensi peserta secara signifikan, terutama pada peserta dengan nilai awal rendah yang mengalami peningkatan sebesar 30%–39%. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa pelatihan efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan deskriptif dan analitis peserta terhadap mutu kopi. Dengan demikian, kegiatan ini berkontribusi dalam memperkuat produk agrowisata kopi dan meningkatkan daya saing kopi Sidomulyo di pasar nasional maupun internasional. Kata kunci: Uji Cita Rasa Kopi, Agrowisata, Desa Wisata, ABCD, Kualitas Kopi. ABSTRACTRobusta coffee is a leading commodity of Sidomulyo Tourism Village, Jember Regency, which possesses comparative advantages that have enabled it to penetrate export markets. This potential has also been developed as a coffee agrotourism attraction. However, the human resources managing the tourism village still lack adequate understanding of the quality indicators, limiting their ability to convey informative and engaging explanations to visitors regarding the characteristics and advantages of the local coffee.

The results demonstrated a significant increase in participants’ competencies, particularly among those with low initial scores, who experienced improvements ranging from 30% to 39%. These findings confirm the effectiveness of the training materials and methods in strengthening participants’ descriptive and analytical skills related to coffee quality. Therefore, this program contributes to strengthening coffee agrotourism products and enhancing the competitiveness of Sidomulyo coffee in both national and international markets. Keywords: Cupping, Agritourism, Tourism Village, ABCD, Coffee Quality.
