Abstract

In the era of globalization, proficiency in English for business purposes is essential for career success and expanding professional opportunities. This study examined the job application skills of fourth-semester students enrolled in the English Study Program at Politeknik Negeri Jember during the 2023/2024 academic year, specifically those participating in an English for Business class. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive research approach, data were collected through a pre-test designed to assess students' knowledge in finding job vacancies, writing cover letters, preparing resumes, and attending job interviews. The pre-test consisted of 41 items categorized into these four areas. The results revealed strong performance among students, with the majority scoring in the high range (80-100), indicating strong proficiency in job application skills. The difficulty index for each section of the pre-test showed that students found the questions generally easy, with job interviews perceived as the easiest and resumes as relatively more challenging. These findings emphasize the importance of English for Business classes in equipping students with essential skills for entering the competitive global job market. The study suggests that practices in job applications and English proficiency improvement can enhance students' readiness for professional careers in an international context.

To achieve this goal, the campus collaborates with the Language Center and International Office to organize the class. The program is conducted in three phases: 1) preparation, 2) implementation, and 3) evaluation. The evaluation phase is crucial for improving the program's quality. This study aims to describe the evaluation phase by analyzing the awardees' perceptions of the program. A questionnaire was used as the primary instrument, followed by interviews for confirmation. The results indicate that awardees generally have a positive perception of the program, as evidenced by their enthusiasm for the class. These findings are expected to help maintain and improve the quality of the BIPA class.

Abstract

This is a research and development (R&D) with the aim of developing a vocational-themed English application model for SMK in Jember. There were three steps carried out to complete this study including categorizing the areas of expertise offered at State Vocational Schools (SMKN) in Jember, analyzing the use of information technology in learning English at SMKN in Jember by distributing questionnaire to the English teachers and interview, and designing a vocational-themed English learning application model. The result of the study is a model of an Android-based application for English learning specific for SMK under seven vocational expertise fields covering four English skills and two components. Those are reading, listening, writing, and speaking. Moreover, the application also covers grammar and vocabulary materials specific for SMK students. The application model is the basis of developing the prototype of the vocational-themed English learning application. From the model, an English learning application which is specifically designed for students of vocational high schools can be created based on 7 areas of expertise, as found through the study, including: 1) Technology and Engineering, 2) Information and Communication Technology, 3) Agribusiness and Agro-technology, 4) Maritime Affairs, 5) Business and Management, 6) Tourism, and 7) Arts and Creative Industries.

Abstract

Publicity materials are crucial tools in public relations, media communication, and marketing, playing a significant role in shaping public perception and disseminating key messages. This paper addresses the gap in comprehensive understanding and systematic exploration of the theoretical foundations and practical frameworks that guide the development of these materials. Utilizing a systematic literature review, we analyze existing frameworks and theories related to publicity materials, with a specific focus on their application in educational settings for undergraduate students learning English for Professional Communication. By synthesizing insights from seminal works and contemporary studies, this paper equips educators, students, and practitioners with a robust understanding of the principles, best practices, and innovative approaches for creating impactful publicity materials. Our findings highlight the evolution of publicity materials, the integration of digital platforms, personalization strategies, data analytics, and ethical considerations. These insights offer practical guidance for enhancing educational and professional development curricula, ensuring the effective use of publicity materials in various contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to discuss one of the local cultures in the form of dance and its integration in English language learning in an effort to preserve the local culture and promote students' cultural awareness. The research design deployed was descriptive qualitative. Two art practitioners served as the subjects of the study and the data were obtained through an interview process. The data were analyzed using four steps data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. In addition, library study was also used to understand and study theories from various literature or sources related to the study. The findings showed that Lahbako Dance tells the story of the tobacco processing process starting from harvesting to packaging. In its development, the dance is modified because of the need for innovation and adaptation to developments and promoting its sustainability. In language teaching, its success depends on the use of teaching materials that accurately reflect authentic language use and cultural settings. Lahbako Dance can be inserted into the teaching and learning activities as an authentic material that can promote students' language skills, motivation, and cultural awareness. By doing so, local culture can also be well-preserved. Further studies related to the developments of other authentic materials are suggested.
