“…Presenting competency refers to an individual's ability to effectively and persuasively communicate a message, leveraging verbal and non-verbal cues to achieve specific objectives (Borisova et al, 2019). Emotional competencies, which often develop through the experience of presenting, are crucial for managing the challenges associated with public speaking (Rautakoski et al, 2021).…”

Conducting a needs analysis is imperative for customizing educational content to align with students' specific learning prerequisites, especially in the realm of reading skill development, which is acknowledged as a challenging domain. This study investigates into the necessity for tailored English reading materials within non-formal educational frameworks, with a focus on junior high students at the Gosmart Institution in Yogyakarta. Utilizing a combination of surveys and interviews, data was collected from 50 students, revealing a strong inclination towards vocabulary enhancement and the extraction of detailed information from texts as their primary learning objectives. The analysis uncovers students' difficulties with presentation activities, largely due to confidence issues, alongside a pronounced preference for reading materials enriched with illustrative and social media images. Additionally, the study points out the scarcity of authentic reading resources, which hampers the effectiveness of teaching strategies. The findings advocate for the integration of these insights into the development of English reading materials, proposing a targeted approach to ameliorate reading instruction and address the highlighted educational needs. This study underscores the importance of adapting educational resources to meet learner preferences and challenges, thereby enhancing the overall teaching and learning experience in reading skills development.

“…Presentation skills are closely related to public speaking skills, in this globalization era graduates are called upon to be proficient and skilled in presentation skills so that they can interact effectively in academic and professional environments (Borisova, Nikitina, Shparberg, Borisov, & Poletaeva, 2019;Sharif, 2016). Presentation skills are a very important factor because it provides significant advantages for job seekers in the labor market (Lucia, Benková, & Daňková, 2017).…”

This study aims to determine the virtual communication skills of students in the Vertebrate Zoology course, the subject of the Reptile Class with the example of the Varanus salvator species. The research was conducted by survey method using an adaptation observation sheet from the 2012 Greenstein instrument. Data collection was carried out on modified online Problem Based Learning (PBL) using Zoom meeting and WhatsApp Group (WAG). While presentation and organizing stages were carried out by class discussion on Zoom, the problems that have been formulated were discussed by each group using a WAG. The data obtained were analyzed quantitatively, using the percentage formula (Akbar, 2013) in the book Learning Device Instruments and showed the results that the percentage of oral communication skills was 86.73%, of the skills to understand the intent/purpose of communication was 85.65%, of the skills to use communication strategies was 86.57%, and of presentation skills was 85.19%, with each criterion falling in the category 'Exceeded Expectations'. Meanwhile, viewing the percentage results and aiming the target of 84.57%, the two receptive communication skills listening and reading were included in the 'Satisfactory' category. The general percentage of communication skills of 85.16% as average was included in the category 'Exceeding Expectations'. This finding suggests that communication which included oral communication skills, receptive communication skills, understanding the purpose of communication, using communication strategies, communicating clearly for a purpose, and presentation skills can be achieved virtually. Contribution/Originality:This study contributes to the domain of skills acquisition that during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite social distancing students' virtual communication skills can be achieved through online learning using a modified PBL through WAG and Zoom Meeting. INTRODUCTIONOne of the realizations of a better future for the nation and to become a successful person is by mastering 21stcentury skills that are relevant to the four pillars of life, namely learning to know, learning to do, learning to be and

“…Since ESP deals with preparing learners and employee to use English in either academic and workplace settings, the need of the learners and employees should become the foundation to develop materials (Aliakbari, 2014, p.176) A vast majority of researchers in the field of ESP point out the significance of teaching/learning English for Specific Purposes (Ghany & Latif 2012;Alhuqbani, 2014;Lin, Wu, & Huang, 2013). Therefore, there is a growing number of research in field of ESP that focuses on developing of a material for specific needs of learners such as for accounting students (Sari & Atmanegara, 2018), for tourism and hospitality (Zahedpisheh, Abu Bakar, Saffari, 2017) for airport information desk staff (Ting, 2010), for science control system and robotic (Borisova, Nikitina, Shparberg, Borisov & Poletaeva, 2019) and medical record health information (Setiawati, 2016) The preceding studies have varied from designing suitable materials for certain major to investigating needs and attitude. However, there hasn't been any suitable ESP material that could be found to address the need of the staff in Sharia faculty IAIN Pontianak.…”

This present study aims to develop practical materials for the staff in Sharia faculty IAIN Pontianak to improve their professional and communication skills. The material was produced in the form of module that focused on speaking skills in context and was designed in a way that can addrees the learning need of the staff in Sharia faculty IAIN Pontianak. This study addapts ADDI model in developing the material; analyze, design, develop and implement. In collecting the data for this research, the writer interviews the staff. The results of the interview become the foundation for the writer to develop the material. The finding of this study is in the form of module that covers the daily English expressions that are used in work place. The material from this study can help the staff to express themselves in English in relation to their work. Since the evaluation phase from the ADDI model was not conducted, it is recommended for the future research to evaluate the product that has been developed in this study. Keywords: ESP, module, staff.
