Abstract

Effective communication is paramount in the hospitality industry, where guest satisfaction hinges on clear, precise, and culturally sensitive interactions. This paper advocates for an integrated linguistic approach spanning micro and macro perspectives from phonology to psycholinguistics. Phonologically, clear pronunciation and understanding of guest names and destinations enhance personalized service. Morphologically, precise use of hotel-specific jargon ensures accurate communication in written and spoken contexts. Syntactically, structuring instructions and official documents aids in conveying information effectively. Semantically, interpreting guest requests accurately prevents misunderstandings. Sociolinguistically, adapting communication to diverse cultural backgrounds fosters inclusivity. Psycholinguistically, understanding cognitive processes supports staff in maintaining focus and managing stress during interactions. This integrated approach synthesizes insights from phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, and psycholinguistics to optimize communication strategies in hotels. Practical implications include language training programs for staff and leveraging technology for multilingual support. Future research should explore longitudinal impacts on guest satisfaction and organizational performance, efficacy of technological tools in enhancing communication, and sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic dynamics in diverse hospitality contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the self-efficacy levels of pre-service teachers in the dimensions of magnitude, strength, and generality during microteaching sessions. A descriptive quantitative survey design was employed, with data collected from 28 participants in the English Education Study Program at Universitas Katolik Santo Agustinus Hippo, selected through purposive sampling. A Likert-scale questionnaire and interviews were implemented to assess self-efficacy levels and identify the most dominant dimension. The data were analyzed using mean scores for each dimension of self-efficacy. Results showed high self-efficacy across all dimensions, with the strength dimension being the most dominant (mean = 2.828). Participants demonstrated high self-efficacy in handling complex tasks, managing disruptions, and applying their skills in diverse teaching contexts. However, some participants reported lower self-efficacy, particularly in managing disruptions and addressing diverse student needs.

Abstract

Eglish is an international language widely used in education, work, and intercultural communication. Speaking fluency is a crucial component of speaking skills because it enables learners to convey ideas smoothly and spontaneously. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of using the HelloTalk application in improving students’ English speaking fluency. A quasi-experimental design was employed involving two classes: an experimental group taught using HelloTalk and a control group taught using conventional methods. The data were collected through pre-test and post-test speaking assessments and analyzed using an independent sample t-test. The findings revealed that the mean post-test score of the experimental group (68.5) was higher than that of the control group (62.25), with t-count (5.85) exceeding t-table (2.002), indicating a significant difference. These results suggest that HelloTalk is effective as a learning medium for improving students’ English speaking fluency through interactive and authentic communication.

Abstract

The Manten Tebu (Sugarcane Bride) ritual in Rejoso village is an annual event before sugarcane milling. This tradition, preserved since the Dutch colonial era, carries deep symbolic meaning for the agrarian community. This study, based on a Detik jatim article from May 26, 2025, employs the Riffaterre semiotic method to analyze the tradition’s symbols. Using descriptive qualitative analysis, the research finds that Manten Tebu expresses respect for sugarcane as a source of livelihood and fertility, and reflects the relationship between the sugar factory and farmers. Symbolic elements—such as sugarcane pairs as bride and groom, offerings, processions, and prayers—form a system of signs embodying community hopes for a successful milling season.

Abstract

Tourism village guides play a strategic role in representing local identity and facilitating cross-cultural communication; however, many experience difficulties in using English effectively and regulating their own learning. This study aims to identify the linguistic, metacognitive, and motivational needs underlying the design of a metacognitive-oriented English for Specific Purposes (ESP) module for tourism village guides in the Riau Islands. Adopting a qualitative needs analysis design, the study involved five tourism village guides selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and an open-ended ESP needs questionnaire, and analyzed through thematic analysis to identify patterns related to target situation needs and learning needs. The findings indicate that speaking skills dominate professional language use, particularly in explaining attractions and interacting with tourists, while challenges persist in spontaneous communication and complaint handling. Additionally, guides demonstrate limited and unsystematic use of metacognitive strategies despite strong professional motivation. The study concludes that integrating contextualized speaking tasks with explicit metacognitive scaffolding is essential for developing a sustainable, learner-centered ESP module for tourism village guides.

Abstract

This study examines how students perceive American and British accents, particularly when these accents are presented through films and songs used in English learning. Since such media are frequently incorporated into classroom activities, the type of accent used can influence how well students comprehend and engage with the material. The purpose of the research is to identify which accent students find easier to understand and more helpful for developing their English skills through audiovisual input. The study involved 35 sixth-semester English Education students from Class C at Universitas Palangka Raya. Data were collected using a mixed-method questionnaire adapted from Hermini (2019), with several additional questions developed by the researcher. Results show a clear preference for the General American (GA) accent, which students described as easier to follow due to its clarity, widespread use, and familiarity. On the other hand, although Received Pronunciation (RP) was seen as distinct, formal, and culturally prestigious, many found it more difficult to grasp. Interestingly, 100% participants said GA was easier to understand in songs, and 94.3% said the same for movies. The findings suggest that consistent exposure to a particular accent improves listening comprehension. Therefore, educators should consider prioritizing materials that feature GA, while gradually introducing RP to help learners build broader listening skills over time.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of self-directed learning (SDL) strategies on students' reading comprehension at PEMBDA 2 Gunungsitoli Private Junior High School. The background of this study shows that students experience difficulties in understanding reading texts, which has a negative impact on their academic development. The research method used was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design involving two groups: an experimental group using the SDL strategy and a control group using conventional methods. The results showed a significant increase in students' reading comprehension skills in the experimental group compared to the control group. The average pretest score of the experimental group was 43.47 and increased to 89.47 on the posttest, while the control group only increased from 36.27 to 48.13. The t-test showed a significance value (p 0.05), indicating the effectiveness of the SDL strategy in improving reading comprehension. In addition, the N-Gain value for the experimental group was 0.814 (high category), while the control group was only 0.185 (low category). The conclusion of this study is that the application of the SDL strategy significantly improves students' reading comprehension skills, creating a more independent, enjoyable, and meaningful learning experience. This study recommends the use of the SDL strategy in English teaching at the junior high school level as an effective method for improving student learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the integration of offline digital technology and local wisdom in developing the speaking skills of early childhood learners at TK ABA 2 Ova, Palu. The research focuses on how simple digital media combined with elements of local culture, such as folklore and traditional games, contribute to the improvement of children’s verbal abilities. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews with teachers and parents, and documentation of children’s learning activities. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, following the interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal that the application of offline digital media incorporating local stories and traditional games has a positive impact on children’s language development. It enhances vocabulary mastery, sentence structure, fluency, confidence, and semantic accuracy in speech. Children exposed to culturally based digital media demonstrated higher levels of verbal participation and idea expression, while traditional games fostered natural spontaneity and interactive communication. The main supporting factors included teacher facilitation and collaboration between school and family, whereas the primary challenge was the limited availability of digital facilities. Overall, the integration of simple digital technology and local wisdom proved effective in enriching children’s linguistic experiences while strengthening cultural values within the language learning process.
