Abstract

English is undoubtedly one of the requirements in the hotel and hospitality industry. All hotel staff are required to be able to communicate in English, especially those working in international hotels. This also applies in Indonesia where some international hotels are operating in big cities such as Jakarta. Unfortunately, only a few of the Indonesian hotel staff, including food and beverage employees, have adequate English language competence. Therefore, English training is a must for those working in the hotel industry. The present study, then, was carried out to investigate the problems and challenges of teaching English to food and beverage staff because they communicate with Indonesian and international hotel guests very often, for example, during breakfast, lunch, and, dinner. Careful observation was conducted to look into the problems and challenges, i.e., language problems, trainees’ speaking skills, and in-classroom- participation of each trainee. The findings revealed that most of the food and beverage staff could not communicate in English appropriately and accurately. They were not able to use proper expressions in particular situations with the hotel guests. Meanwhile, the challenges included the use of inappropriate ‘fossilized’ expressions. This implies that there should be solutions to overcome the problems and face the challenges of teaching English to food and beverage staff. Keywords: English, food and beverage staff, language competence

Abstract

Instructional materials created by teachers blend creativity with academic expertise. Like professional writers, teachers must communicate ideas, adapt content for their students, and keep them engaged through lesson plans, activities, and assessments. These materials are regularly updated based on student feedback, similar to how writers revise their drafts. Teachers use specialized knowledge and experience to design adequate resources that meet different learning needs. With the new K-12 Curriculum in the Philippines, teachers are increasingly seen as both instructors and creators of knowledge. This paper reviews DepEd materials and evaluation rubrics to assess how well these instructional materials work from a teacher’s perspective. Teachers can greatly improve instructional materials, boost student thinking, and enhance learning by taking on a critical role. While reviewing materials takes time, technology like AI plagiarism checkers can help speed up the process. Researchers agree that regularly updating methods and assessments is important because knowledge and insights change over time, and feedback may highlight areas for improvement. Changes in technology and society also require updates to keep materials relevant and effective. Therefore, careful evaluation is needed to choose suitable materials. Schools should support materials made by experienced educators, not just good writers. Academic boards should invest in quality assurance with dedicated revision, auditing, and editing teams to ensure ongoing quality.

Abstract

Abstract: This study investigates the impact of Gemini AI on improving speaking proficiency among 30 high school students using Classroom Action Research (CAR) with a mixed-methods approach. The study observed progressive improvements in speaking proficiency over three iterative cycles, with students’ average scores rising from 65 in the first cycle to 85 by the third cycle. These gains were reflected in enhanced fluency, vocabulary, and confidence. Gemini AI provided personalized speaking practice and real-time feedback, leading to increased engagement and adaptive learning. The study concludes that integrating AI into speaking classes can enhance language proficiency through iterative feedback and adaptation.

Abstract

The research uses a qualitative method in which the writer watches the movie and analyzes the movie using the theory of ambition and Tourette Syndrome. The data in this research comes from the movie scenes and dialogues in the movie “Front of Class”. The results of the analysis imply that the main character is driven by a strong desire to demonstrate that individuals with Tourette syndrome can achieve success in the field of education. His determination is evident in his persistent efforts to apply to various schools, despite facing uncertainty and underestimation from those around him. The character's resilience in the face of these challenges highlights his commitment to pursuing his dreams, demonstrating not only his personal ambition but also a desire to challenge societal perceptions and prove that his condition does not limit his ability to teach.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze figurative language in song lyrics as a form of emotional expression and personal narrative. The background of this study is based on the global phenomenon of Billie Eilish's popularity as an icon of the younger generation, recognized not only for her innovative music but also for her meaningful lyrics. This research aims to identify, analyze, and explore five figurative languages -metaphors, similes, symbolisms, hyperboles, and personifications- in Billie Eilish's songs, such as Lunch, TV, and Birds of a Feather. The methodology of this study employs a qualitative approach using critical discourse analysis designed to explain and explore the use of figurative language in depth. There are 16 figurative languages in Billie Eilish’s songs divided into five types. The details of those five types are five metaphors, three similes, three symbolisms, three hyperboles, and two personifications. From the result of the research, it can be concluded that figurative language has an important role in Billie Eilish’s song.
