Abstract

This study explored the impact of an integrated reading–speaking instructional model, From Text to Talk, on the critical-thinking, reading comprehension, and oral communication skills of 32 third-semester EFL students at STKIP Persada Khatulistiwa Sintang. Using a one-group pretest–posttest design, the students’ mean score rose from 45.88 (SD = 19.65) to 63.97 (SD = 11.70); a paired-samples t-test revealed a significant difference (t(31) = 10.65, p < .001) with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.88). Qualitative interviews with six students uncovered key challenges — including anxiety, vocabulary and pronunciation issues, and classroom monotony — yet also highlighted gains in critical engagement, text interpretation, and spoken interaction. By triangulating quantitative and qualitative data, the study confirms that the integration of reading and speaking fosters deeper cognitive processing, authentic communication practice, and more consistent performance across learners. It further suggests the importance of scaffolded speaking tasks, emotionally safe environments, varied interactive activities, and recognition of reading as a springboard to oral reasoning in EFL instruction.

Abstract

This community service program aims to strengthen the eco-tourism potential of Betang Ensaid Panjang by improving the English communication skills of local youths and cultural practitioners in Gemba Raya Village, Kelam Regency. Although the village possesses rich Dayak Desa cultural assets and strong community hospitality, limited English proficiency has hindered residents from effectively presenting their heritage to international visitors. To address this issue, the program provides tourism-oriented English training that emphasizes functional vocabulary, guiding expressions, cultural interpretation, and confidence-building strategies. The implementation combines classroom instruction, role-play simulations, storytelling practice, and field-based guiding activities that reflect real eco-tourism settings. The training is facilitated by lecturers supported by students. Through this approach, participants develop greater fluency, accuracy, and confidence in interacting with international tourists, enabling them to communicate cultural knowledge more effectively. The outcomes of this program are expected to enhance visitor satisfaction, expand economic opportunities, and strengthen community participation in sustainable, culturally grounded tourism development. Ultimately, the initiative contributes to positioning Gemba Raya Village as a model for community-based eco-tourism empowerment in West Kalimantan.
