Keberadaan bahan ajar dalam proses dalam proses pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris mempunyai peran yang sangat penting, terutama ketika pembelajaran tersebut berlangsung secara daring. Untuk itu, maka para pengajar Bahasa Inggris perlu untuk memahami lebih dalam mengenai bagaimana bahan ajar tersebut dapat disiapkan dengan maksimal guna menjamin keberhasilan proses pendidikan di perguruan tinggi. Maka dari itu, penelitian yang mengunakan metodologi penelitian literatur ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji secara mendalam melalui kajian beberapa sumber pustaka mengenai integrasi teori pemerolehan bahasa kedua oleh Krashen kedalam proses pengembangan bahan ajar Bahasa Inggris pada proses pembelajaran daring di perguruan tinggi. Dari hasil analisa yang telah dilakukan, maka dapat ditemukan bahwa berdasarkan teori Krashen dan karakteristik bahan ajar Bahasa Inggris di perguruan tinggi, bahan ajar yang perlu untuk dikembangkan oleh para pengajar dalam pembelajaran daring adalah dengan mengedepankan konsep bahwa penguasaan bahasa sebagai alat komunikasi berlangsung secara alam bawah sadar dengan “mengambil” bahasa secara alami. Sehingga, dalam hal ini para pengajar Bahasa Inggris harus memfokuskan bahan ajar yang dikembangkan agar para mahasiswa mampu untuk “mengambil” bahasa bukan hanya sekedar menghafal kasa kata ataupun struktur kalimat saja.
Permasalahan pembelajaran English grammar pada negara-negara yang termasuk EFL telah mendorong munculnya berbagai macam model pengajaran inovatif. Salah satunya adalah model pembelajaran inovatif berbasis Flipped Classroom. Melalui kajian literatur, artikel ini telah menemukan bahwa model pembelajaran ini menekankan konten pengajaran dan kegiatan pembelajaran disediakan secara online kepada siswa terlebih dahulu sehingga mereka mendapatkan akses dan membaca materi mengenai struktur bahasa Inggris sebelum menghadiri kelas. Oleh karena itu, ketika mereka menghadiri kelas yang sebenarnya, mereka sepenuhnya familiar dengan materi pelajaran mengenai struktur bahasa yang akan disampaikan. Selain itu, ditemukan pula bahwa dari kajian empriris dari beberapa peneliti disimpulkan bahwa memang benar Flipped Classroom tebukti secara efektif untuk dalam pembelajaran English grammar pada tingkat sekolah dasar, tingkat menengah, maupun tingkat pendidikan tinggi yang mana model ini mampu memotivasi siswa dalam belajar mandiri serta lebih bermakna melalui bantuan media teknologi informasi. Melihat efektivitas Flipped Classrooms pada pengajaran tata bahasa Inggris pada negara EFL, dapat disimpulkan bahwa metode ini dapat diasumsikan sebagai salah satu metode pembelajaran yang efektif dan berguna dalam pengajaran tata bahasa Inggris.
Learning English, especially in the tourism study program, is very important to emphasize. However, the process of learning English in fact still faces various obstacles. One of the obstacles that are often faced in the process of learning English is that lecturers tend to apply a one-way learning process from lecturer to student using the lecture method. For this reason, it is necessary to further analyze the model or learning approach that is more possible and has the potential to effectively assist students in the English learning process. One model of English learning that has the potential to effectively help students in tourism study programs is to apply a project-based learning model. Therefore, the present study utilizes a qualitative descriptive approach using library research methods aiming at analyzing the concept of project-based learning to be implemented in English learning environments in tourism study programs. This library research approach, according to Lin (2009) involves reading and categorizing materials to solve a problem. Thus, from the result of the study it was found that the use of project-based learning in learning English in the tourism study program is assumed to be able to help students prepare for the future well in terms of English skills and at the same time help lecturers to prepare a more meaningful English learning process.
