Abstract

Every year, Technocrat Foreign Language School (hereinafter referred to as STBA Technorat Tangerang) conducts annual community service for the surrounding communities. In 2025, STBA Technocrat conducted the training at the same venue, namely The 4th Vocational High School in Tangerang. The community service was conducted in line with Law Number 12 of 2012 concerning Higher Education—the training aimed to provide students with higher-quality English instruction, thereby improving their employability skills. The training incorporated AI as one of the learning sources. The present study aimed to both report the results of the English training and to identify students’ perceptions of their English training, their preferred future employment, and the incorporation of AI into their learning materials. The study was conducted after the training was completed. Forty students from different departments attended the training. The students who joined the training were active members of the English club. The study used a mixed-methods design to capture more data on students’ perceptions of the other aforementioned important matters. The findings indicated that most students expressed positive perceptions of the training provided by the English college. They also indicated different preferences for their future jobs. Specifically, some jobs were identified as popular, such as office/factory work, hospitality, banking, and retail. Regarding incorporating AI, they perceived that it helped them improve their speaking skills. They also thought that, despite being a necessity, AI could not create a natural atmosphere for communication. In fact, both teachers and students are responsible for fostering such an occasion in which the students can speak more naturally and enjoyably.

Abstract

Song efficacy in EFL and the figurative language in songs have both been widely researched, especially among students of letters. This study examined figurative language in a popular Taylor Swift song and its application in the EFL context. It focused on students’ perceptions of using English songs in their EFL programs, whether the lyrics motivate adult students to learn more, and their perceptions of using Taylor Swift’s song (Eldest Daughter) in EFL learning. The study used a qualitative method to identify students’ perceptions regarding the use of English songs and figurative language in EFL learning. It involved 26 participants, mainly fourth- and fifth-semester English department students, who had attended an English adult EFL program. Using two instruments and triangulation, the study ensured valid findings. The main findings showed that, while students found English songs to be an effective alternative in EFL activities, most preferred songs with topics relevant to their personal learning objectives. The specific use of a Taylor Swift song ('Eldest Daughter') was seen as less relevant to their cultural backgrounds.
