Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) ini dilaksanakan dalam bentuk pelatihan daring Bahasa Inggris dan pembuatan video perjalanan virtual bagi para pemandu wisata tersertifikasi dari berbagai daerah di Indonesia. Terpilih 25 pemandu wisata dari 180 pendaftar menjadi peserta pelatihan ini. Dengan Atourin sebagai mitra kegiatan, tujuan pelatihan adalah memfasilitasi para pemandu wisata supaya mampu membuat video perjalanan virtual berbahasa Inggris sebagai promosi wisata yang dapat dinikmati orang asing dari rumah mereka di masa pandemi Covid-19. Pelatihan dilaksanakan selama dua bulan dalam tujuh pertemuan daring melalui platform Zoom dengan masing-masing pertemuan berdurasi 120 menit. Di akhir kegiatan, peserta mampu membuat video perjalanan virtual mempromosikan daerah wisatanya masing-masing. Sebagai kesimpulan, kegiatan pelatihan sangat berhasil dilihat dari semangat belajar dan keaktifan para peserta di setiap pertemuan. Bagi para pemandu wisata peserta kegiatan, hasil kegiatan menjadi bahan penyegaran sekaligus meningkatkan kemampuan Bahasa Inggris sebelum kembali terjun dalam industri pariwisata pasca pandemi. Evaluasi kegiatan dilakukan sebagai upaya meningkatkan kualitas kegiatan serupa di masa depan, misalnya pelaksanaan kegiatan PkM secara hybrid pasca pandemi yang memberi keleluasaan kepada peserta untuk memilih metode pembelajaran yang lebih nyaman sesuai kondisi.

“…The Indonesian government has also given acknowledgement to the teaching profession (Suryani, 2020), for example, by giving professional allowance for all certified teachers (Hasanah & Kristiawan, 2019). Furthermore, as English mastery is considered prestigious among many Indonesian students due to the importance of the language in today's globalised world (Subekti et al, 2021), the English teaching profession may instil a sense of pride and purpose in teachers. Furthermore, intrinsic factors could also be at play.…”

The present study was conducted to investigate the level of work engagement of Indonesian high school teachers of English and its relationship with their attitudes towards the use of instructional technology (IT) during the Covid-19-driven online instruction. The study employed a survey method of distributing a Google Form questionnaire and a total of 114 teachers participated in the study. It was found that the participants generally reported a high level of work engagement in their English Language teaching (ELT) profession. Though at least 93% of the participants reported their engagement in the profession in all questionnaire items, they seemed to be less sure about their level of engagement in terms of striving for excellence in the profession seen from lower "strongly agree" responses. The present study further found a statistically significant positive relationship between the participants' level of work engagement and their attitudes towards the use of IT during the pandemic-driven online instruction. Their level of engagement could predict a 21.7% variance in their attitudes towards the use of IT. Pedagogical implications include encouraging teachers to use all the experiences they obtained during the pandemic to upgrade themselves as teachers rather than totally 'going back' to the old ways of teaching before the pandemic. Future studies could investigate English teaching as a job and can be conducted qualitatively to see the extent to which teachers’ reported engagement is manifested in everyday teaching.

“…The mentioned review of the plethora of literature suggests both the need to prepare preservice teachers' readiness to teach and the potential of relevant movies to achieve this purpose. In the case of English pre-service teachers, their lack of readiness to teach may be more salient considering the position of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Indonesia, and thus the language is constrained to classroom use (Subekti et al, 2021), as well as the language being their second/foreign language (L2) for these pre-service teachers. In Indonesia, apart from an explorative study about pre-service teachers' perceived preparedness for teaching by Tutyandari (2020), studies about pre-service English teachers' readiness have been conducted concerning digital applications (Liza & Andriyanti, 2020) and online learning (Daflizar et al, 2022;Hidayat et al, 2021).…”

This study aimed at examining the extent of the use of teacher-themed movies in preparing Indonesian pre-service English teachers’ readiness to teach and to see the perceived effects of movies in preparing the pre-service English teachers’ readiness to teach. This study employed a qualitative design with observations and interviews as the methods of collecting data. Two classes were observed, Introduction to Education and Teaching Profession classes. Interviews were conducted with, as the participants, six pre-service English teachers and two lecturers of the observed classes. The observation results indicated that movies were used to relate theories and real teaching practices. Through Thematic Analysis of the interview data, the study found that movies could inspire several pre-service English teachers. Movies minimised the gap between theories and practice. Movies helped pre-service teachers to see potential problems and obstacles when teaching in a real class. Informed of the generally positive impacts of the use of movies, it is suggested that teacher education programmes encourage more widespread use of movies to teach teaching-related classes to better prepare pre-service teachers for various classroom situations.
