Abstract

The decreasing number of student admissions, especially when the Covid-19 pandemic hit and the increasing number of universities in Jakarta, the competition is getting tighter. For this reason, implementing the Blue Ocean Strategy by opening a Digital Business major is the right way to get out of the competition and find new, unexplored opportunities and markets. The aim of this research is to describe the process of implementing BOS at the opening of the Digital Business major. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach using interviews, observation and documentation studies as data collection techniques. The research results show that the formulation of the blue ocean strategy is going well, especially the decision to open a Digital Business major through the stages of market boundary reconstruction, ERRC scheme, 3 non-consumer levels and strategic series. This is proven by the number of students who choose this major amounting to approximately 300 people with a class size of 10. Relevant curriculum development, industrial collaboration, use of technology in learning, lecturer training and effective promotion are suggestions that should be considered for the success of this implementation in long-term

Abstract

EFL Students’ needs for spoken English are considered important to fulfill, and the idea to capture what they need requires some ways and efforts so as to make them eager and keen on practicing English better. However, an analysis on needs environment is not much discussed and conducted for EFL students, mainly in lower secondary schools. Thus, the aim of this study is to examine the needs of EFL students in terms of enhancing their English-speaking skills in lower secondary schools. Three ninth-grade students from three distinct lower secondary schools located in Depok, West Java, Indonesia were the subjects of the research. This study employed a qualitative design with descriptive analysis, and the instrument used to collect the data was semi-structured interviews. The resulting data was analyzed with some steps such as reduction of data, data display, and data presentation. The results demonstrated that EFL students’ English-speaking proficiency is influenced by a variety of needs, including necessities, lacks, and wants. Considering the significance of these needs in the enhancement of EFL students' English-speaking abilities, it is advisable that teachers of English should comprehend and employ efficient learning strategies and stimulating learning media that facilitate the progress of students' English-speaking capabilities.

Abstract

One of the recommended teaching methods in the Indonesia’s Merdeka Belajar (Freedom to Learn) Curriculum is Project-based Learning (PjBL). This research aims to explore the implementation of PjBL in assisting the students’ 4C skills through a writing project in English for Tourism Class in Indonesia. This research employed a qualitative design to investigate the PjBL implementation by the teacher to the fifth semester students at a Tour Guiding Program. An open-ended questionnaire, interview, and teacher reflective notes were conducted to collect the data. The data analysis included data reading and categorization, data matching, data reduction, data display and interpretation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that PjBL gave the opportunities to train the students’ 4C skills through group tasks, data collection, presentation, and the tourist spot visit. They also learned to develop an English writing text more meaningfully, and to construct knowledge about tourism from the real-world context. The challenges found were time limitation, student different characteristics, and teacher’s limited experiences. Teachers who are eager to apply PjBL may use this teaching procedure in this research with the considerations of these challenges and classroom needs. Besides, supplementing an observation method and expanding the research scope are recommended for future research

Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the demonstration technique in teaching writing and personal pronouns refer to grammar to Private High School students in Lampung. Writing is a complicated aspect of English skills, particularly for personal pronouns. Personal pronouns are used by people, animals, things, or things. These pronouns depend on the role (subject, object, or possessive), number, third-person, and gender of the replaced noun. The students admitted that the learning method they had received thus far was tedious and only confused them; they needed to learn how to distinguish pronouns in personal pronoun material. The research used a qualitative method and involved 55 students from Private High School students in Lampung, classes IX A and B. Before the demonstration method was applied, almost 50% of students' scores were below 78. The learning method they received was tedious and confusing; they needed to learn how to distinguish pronouns in personal pronouns. However, students’ performance increased or was higher after using the demonstration method. The good and excellent ranges improved to 29%, and 58% of the total was 87%. The results indicate that the demonstration technique is an effective method for teaching writing, particularly for enhancing students' understanding of personal pronouns. Hence, demonstration techniques offer an alternative approach to selecting methods for English language learning. Through the implementation of these techniques, there is an expectation that English learning will become more interactive, thereby engaging students' interest.

COVID-19 virus has been putting many people's health in peril and causing social anxiety, insecurity, and mayhem. It has become a public enemy. Collaboration between all sectors and community involvement are required to control the spread and negative effects of COVID-19. The beauty industry has emerged as one of several crucial sectors in the fight against COVID-19 Because they can make hand sanitizers, cleansers, hand gel, and lotions in large quantities that can protect the community and encourage community to stay healthy. This research explores the roles played by some locally produced beauty products in Indonesia in empowering women and girls to protect themselves from COVID-19. The study uses qualitative research methods. It examines ten cosmetics companies and incorporates interpretative analysis and web content analysis. The study examines the data from the perspective of community education and humanities. According to the study, the beauty industries typically employ three major strategies to educate their female and young girl customers. The first educational strategy is promoting self-health protection to make wellness and health goods. The second approach involves teaching women new healthy routines, safe, healthy makeup practices, and strict mask wearing and health plan implementation. The third strategy involves taking part in social educational activities that support and promote social skills among women and girls, such as empathy, care, and support. The study shows that women education is not only the responsibility of educational institutions, but also the business or industries sectors.
