ENGLISH FOR TOURISM UNTUK PEDAGANG DI KAWASAN PANTAI BANDULU UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN KOMUNIKASI JUAL BELI

Community service underpinned within English for tourism is rarely conducted to the practitioners. Whereas, it is urgent to do that residents living in the tourism spots and are intensely mingled in the tourism services need knowledge and skills in both communication and tourism insights. These skills will be helpful for them to interact more potential tourists to come. One of them is the tourist attraction of Bandulu beach, Anyer, Banten. In connection with this, concrete steps to provide practical English training for residents around the tourist area must be implemented immediately to improve English proficiency which is one of the reasons why the tourists visit the tourist attraction. Local government data states that only 1-5% of visitors to Bandulu beach tourism are foreign tourists. That is, if in 1 month there are 1000 visitors then only 10 to 50 foreign tourists. In fact, Wiyatno (2013) stated that foreign tourist visits to Indonesia have increased almost every year. The potential number of foreign tourists should be supported by human resources with tourism insight and proficiency in foreign languages, especially good English so that communication with general English in the tourism sector can be carried out. Master, P. (1998,) said the need for mastery of English is increasing along with the need for professionals in the tourism sector. From the results of a brief interview with one of the food vendors on Bandulu Beach, communication failures often occur when foreign tourists ask for information on traditional Betawi food available around this tourist spot. The limitations of the surrounding community to communicate in English made foreign tourists not get a satisfactory answer. This problem will have a negative impact in the form of a lack of interest in the tourist attraction, especially for foreign tourists. therefore, English for Tourism for traders in Bandulu Beach is urgent to be implemented.

(Accidental) Internationalisation of higher education beyond English, and complementary, intersecting desires: Korean international students pursuing education in Vietnam

ABSTRACT The increasing number of Korean students in Asian countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia is a new phenomenon in the region’s higher education landscape. This article pays attention to this phenomenon, with a focus on the case of unconventional Korean students in Vietnamese Studies (VS) at universities in Vietnam. Informed by interview data collected from Vietnamese teachers at a major university in Hanoi, the article examines their perceptions, experiences and reflections on (a) the ways in which the mobilities of Korean students in Vietnam have (re)shaped VS; and (b) factors and reasons influencing Korean students’ enrolments in VS. The increased demand among Korean students for VS is shaped by a multitude of factors and aspirations, ranging from policy drive, institutional responses, and personal circumstances, to religious pursuits. This demand, the students’ accompanying aspirations and desires, and the value attached to VS have led to what we call ‘accidental internationalization’ on the part of the surveyed Vietnamese institution. Our study enriches scholarly inquiries on inter-Asian student mobilities and offers original implications for the internationalisation of higher education beyond the dominance of English.

IMPROVING STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILLS THROUGH CLIL IN TOURIST GUIDING ONLINE CLASS

Tourist Guiding is a compulsory subject that aims to prepare students to be a prospective Tour Guide (TG) with excellent English mastery, especially speaking. Two-year observation showed that the students have the low ability in speaking skills. They did not speak fluently because they lacked knowledge and vocabulary in tourist guiding. This study was a Classroom Action Research (CAR) which was carried out by implementing Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), as a dual-educational approach that uses additional languages to learn and teach both content and language, in an online Tourist Guiding class. Participated by 28 students, this research followed stages of CAR. Additionally, pre-test and post-test were conducted to investigate students’ different performances before and after CLIL was implemented, while questionnaires were distributed to obtain the data about the students’ voices about CLIL implementation. The findings revealed that the quality of teaching and learning in the Tourist Guiding class improved after the implementation of CLIL. In addition, CLIL could enhance both students’ language skills (especially speaking) and tourist guiding competency. Teachers should both understand the subject content very well and have a very good mastery of English so that CLIL can be implemented successfully.

Filling lexical gaps and more: code-switching for the power of expression by young bilinguals.

In this preregistered, longitudinal study of early code-switching, 34 US-born, Spanish-English bilingual children were recorded with a bilingual family member at 2;6 and 3;6, in Spanish-designated and English-designated interactions. Children's Spanish and English expressive vocabulary and their exposure to code-switching were measured through direct assessment and caregiver report. The children code-switched most frequently at speaker changes; within-turn and within-utterance codeswitching were rare. By 3;6, switches to English were significantly more frequent than switches to Spanish. At both ages, Spanish proficiency was a negative predictor of the frequency of switching to English, but children's degree of English dominance uniquely explained additional variance. Thus, children appear to code-switch not merely to fill gaps in their weaker language but to maximize their expressive power. Neither individual differences in exposure to code-switching nor in the interlocutors' language proficiency were consistently related to the children's rate of code-switching.

Big in Japan, Zimbabwe or Brazil – global reach and national preferences for open access books

The perceived effect of internationalization on publishing is that there is a strong focus on global issues written in English only. In academic book publishing – strongly connected to the humanities and social sciences (HSS) – languages other than English play an important role. Non-English academic publications have been linked to regional issues: there is a tension between English as the ‘lingua franca’ enabling a global reach versus local languages that provide a better cultural ‘fit’. This article examines the preference of global readers in a systematic manner, by examining the usage of the open access collection of the OAPEN Library. Based on the ten most downloaded books from 100 countries during a 12-month period, the focus on regional topics is measured using the number of books written in non-English languages and the amount of English language books that mention the country. The results show a global interest in books with a regional focus. In many countries, the ten most downloaded books are written in non-English languages. Even when English language titles are part of the top ten, many mention regional concerns. The article counters the narrative of the dominance of English as the language of scholarly communication. Instead, it supports the value of bibliodiversity.

English Language Use by Saudi Female Students in Higher Education: Insights for Educators and Policymakers

Saudi higher education recognizes the importance of teaching and learning the English language, leading to the establishment of several academic English departments to fulfill national needs. Mastery of English in an EFL (English as a foreign language) context requires more frequent language use, both inside and outside the classroom domain. Current research suggests that investigations into Saudi students’ English language use inside the classroom have been addressed, but outside its boundaries and at the department level have yet to be addressed. This study aimed to address that gap to provide insights into female learners’ perspectives on the Saudi EFL learning environment. It adopted a mixed-methods approach for data collection. A seven-item survey with an open-ended section was filled out by Saudi female students (n = 381) studying in English departments nationwide. Additionally, semi-structured interviews with two questions were conducted with BA and MA English students (n = 10). The findings reveal the failure of Saudi English departments to provide students with the English practice opportunities they need and learners’ dissatisfaction with the current learning environment. The implications of the study include the urgent need for decision-makers to intervene and change the current status quo.

Pursuing dreams in an Asian global city: Does host language proficiency matter for Asian minorities?

Asians who are not attracted by western culture may pursue their dreams in an Asian global city. While most people in Asia do not use English to communicate in their daily life, past literature on international migration focuses on English-speaking countries. This study uses Hong Kong (branded an Asian global city) as a case study to examine whether mastery of a native language (Cantonese) and/or English, a dominant non-native language in the commercial sector, determines the economic success of Asian migrants. Contrary to the general expectation of the importance of the native language, this study finds that a mastery of English and the official language of China (Putonghua) instead of Cantonese generates higher earnings for Asian minorities. The language advantages for earnings are mediated by the attainment of high-paid occupations. This study suggests that immigrants’ assimilation in a host society is not just a local problem but relates to the global and regional contextual factors of the city.

Early Settlements of the Europeans and Establishment of English Domination in Madras Presidency

The fall of the Vijayanagar kingdom was reverberated the whole of South India in a state of political chaos and consequent economic distress. From 1757 the British had used their control over South India to promote their own interests. But it would be wrong to think that the basic character of their rule remained the same throughout. It passed through several stages in its long history of nearly 200 years. The nature of British rule and imperialism, as also it policies and impact, changed with changing pattern of Britain’s own social, economic and political development. To begin with ever before 1757, the English East India Company was interested only in making money. It wanted a monopoly of the trade with India and the East,so that there would be no other English or European merchants or trading companies to compete with it. The Company also did not want the Indian merchants to compete with it for the purchase in India or sale abroad of Indian products.
