The hotel, hospitality, and tourism industries have rapidly developed over the past few years. English skills are undoubtedly required in these industries, especially for those who work in five-star and international hotels, including the ones located in Indonesia. It turns out, however, that many hotel staff seem to have a lack of appropriate English language use competence in their workplace. Having taught English to hotel staff for almost two years, it revealed that only a few of them can communicate in English appropriately. Some of the staff do not even know how to make sentences in English. Taking this phenomenon into account, effective English language teaching practices are urgently needed and therefore, this study attempts to discuss some strategies to promote effective English language teaching practices for hotel staff. The strategies were investigated by interviewing the hotel staff who attended an English class held by a five-star hotel located in South Jakarta, Indonesia. The interview consisted of open questions which resulted in significant data on what makes most of the hotel staff unable to communicate in English appropriately, how the teacher should teach the hotel staff, and lastly, what should be discussed and learned during the teaching and learning sessions. Keywords: English, hotel staff, teaching strategies

The function of literature can be manifested in its utilization as a medium to reinforce the Pancasila profile among high school students. As contemporary educational materials increasingly require the integration of moral values that need to be echoed and instilled in students, many of them have begun to distance themselves from ethical considerations. It is crucial to guide students in distinguishing between right and wrong actions, fostering a collective consciousness, and promoting tolerance. The purpose of this research is to describe Freudian psychoanalysis in the short story "Serupa dan Serapuh" by Valiant Budi and its relevance in Indonesian literature learning. The research methodology employed is qualitative descriptive research. The object of the study is the author's worldview using theories from psychological literary approaches. Data collected, analyzed, and described may include words, sentences, and discourse. Data collection techniques involve reading and note-taking. Based on the findings, the research identifies personality structures in the main character, comprising the id, ego, and super-ego. The emergence of personality dynamics, such as anxiety, is inseparable from the character's personality structure. Defense mechanisms, including repression, reaction formation, and fixation, also manifest in the characters. The relevance of these findings to strengthening the Pancasila profile for students is evident throughout the storyline, character portrayals, story content, language, and the author's intended messages, all of which align closely with the values of the Pancasila student profile. Keywords: Psychoanalysis, Short Story, Literature Learning

International programs by university lecturers in Indonesia, both research and community service, are currently highly encouraged. This kind of international program is believed to provide many benefits such as: increasing cooperation networks both academically and non-academically. In its implementation, not all international programs run smoothly as planned. There are various problems faced by the organizers caused by differences in language, culture, rules, etc. This article will reveal the author's experience in organizing an international training program on developing electronic portfolio ( e-portfolio) especially for English and Arabic teachers in Thailand, covering challenges and lessons learned that come with it. This study uses a qualitative narrative approach with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique is based on the theory of Miles and Huberman which includes: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings of this study are the constraints and lessons that can be drawn from this training. Some of the obstacles faced are preparation that requires sufficient time, language barriers, and differences in culture and rules in the two countries. Some lessons that can be taken from this experience are: international programs require sufficient time and careful preparation, it needs language mastery for facilitators according to the language of the trainees, and the rules and culture of the partner country or school need to be understood so that there is no misunderstanding between the organizer and the partner.

Bilingual education is a system of education that uses two languages as classroom instruction. The demand for bilingual schools has increased quite significantly in Indonesia. Yet, bilingual teachers often face challenges in teaching bilingual classes especially those teaching at lower primary level.

Adopting a qualitative case study with a first-grade primary school teacher as the participant, data were obtained through semi-structured interviews. The findings indicated two major kinds of challenges: internal and external. Similarly, the strategies adopted corresponded two the teacher’s internal and external motivations.

Further, collaboration between the school, teachers and parents is also necessary for the program to run smoothly. Keywords: bilingual education, lower primary level, teacher’s challenges, and strategies
