Abstract

The limited English proficiency of most Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) became the background for this community service program. This activity aims to improve the quality of human resources, particularly in mastering English as a global language as well as digital communication competence, among young MSME entrepreneurs. Jatisela Village, located in Gunungsari District, is a developing area with many MSME players and is close to Senggigi Beach, a well-known tourist destination visited by both domestic and international tourists. Unlike conventional language training, this program combines LSP-based English learning with peer mentoring and digital artifact production to address the specific needs of rural MSMEs. The implementation involved several stages, including surveys, task distribution, execution, and monitoring. The activities included material sharing, practice sessions, and discussions. A pre-test was conducted before the training, and a post-test afterward to measure participants’ progress. Continuous monitoring was carried out by the team. The pre-test results showed that only 30% of the 20 participating MSME entrepreneurs were able to communicate in English, both orally and in writing, with foreign tourists, while 70% were unable to do so.The training employed a diffusion method focused on English conversation for buying and selling offers to improve digital marketing skills. The sessions combined lectures, question-and-answer discussions, hands-on practice, and finally, a post-test and evaluation. The post-test results showed an improvement of 40%, with 70% of participants becoming more confident and capable of communicating in English both orally and in writing, while 30% still required further guidance. The evaluation results indicated that nearly 100% of participants were satisfied with the program.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of the Talking Chips strategy on enhancing critical thinking during English speaking tasks among vocational students. While these students often excel in practical skills, they struggle with critical thinking in English, leading to a skills gap in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education. Using a quasi-experimental design, two eleventh-grade classes from a Tourism and Travel Business program at vocational schools participated in a pretest-posttest speaking assessment. The experimental group (n = 25) used the Talking Chips strategy, while the control group (n = 25) followed conventional methods. The speaking assessments were evaluated using an analytic rubric, with high inter-rater reliability (0.87). Mann-Whitney U analysis revealed a significant treatment effect (U = [insert value], p = .001, r = [insert effect size]), indicating that the Talking Chips strategy effectively improved students’ analytical reasoning and reflective responses. These findings suggest that cooperative learning strategies, like Talking Chips, can enhance higher-order thinking skills in EFL speaking classrooms. The study concludes that incorporating turn-taking structures in speaking tasks helps foster deeper reasoning and encourages more purposeful argumentation, recommending that teachers use such techniques to promote critical thinking in vocational EFL settings.
