Chosen for their dual role as advanced learners and future pedagogues, participants completed a custom 10-item questionnaire. Findings reveal that limited real-world English exposure (81%) and the learning environment significantly fuel anxiety. Key inhibitors include a desire to be heard before correction (68%) and fear of intense grammar feedback (59%) or mockery (54%). Physiological symptoms were also common. The study emphasizes that fostering a psychologically safe virtual space is crucial. Pedagogical implications highlight the need for nuanced approaches, prioritizing fluency and empathetic feedback, potentially through innovative methods, to empower these scholars and future educators.</p> 2025-07-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Education and Sosiotechnology (IJES) https://journal.kapin.org/index.php/IJES/article/view/111 A CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION IN NATURE TOURISM: SCHOLAR PERSPECTIVES ON TOUR GUIDE CHALLENGES 2025-06-18T04:05:15+00:00 Suciana Wijirahayu sucianawijirahayu@uhamka.ac.id Angel Farisca sucianawijirahayu@uhamka.ac.id Asyam Ahmad Fathin sucianawijirahayu@uhamka.ac.id <p><strong>Cross-cultural communication</strong> is paramount in nature tourism, posing significant challenges for tour guides bridging diverse linguistic and cultural divides. This paper synthesizes scholarly perspectives and presents <strong>preliminary empirical findings</strong> from a survey of 11 English education scholars in a tourism course. Results revealed nuanced perceptions: while direct language barriers and misunderstandings showed divided views (18% agree/disagree), participant’s strongly emphasized <strong>cultural sensitivity (100%)</strong> and the guide's facilitative role (91%). Concerns included personal discomfort (45%) and conflicts (36%) from cultural differences. However, respondents recognized <strong>technology's potential (81%)</strong> for enhancement and overwhelmingly advocated for <strong>mandatory cross-cultural communication training (81%)</strong> for guides. These findings highlight the critical need for structured educational initiatives and industry support to cultivate intercultural competence, ultimately improving tourist satisfaction and fostering respectful, sustainable interactions in nature tourism.</p> 2025-07-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Education and Sosiotechnology (IJES) https://journal.kapin.org/index.php/IJES/article/view/114 THE ROLE OF STRENGTH-BASED PARENTING ON EDUCATIONAL RESILIENCY AMONG INDONESIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS 2025-07-08T06:51:15+00:00 Ni Luh Ayu Vivekananda ayu.vivekananda@gmail.com Marissa Chitra Sulastra marissa.cs@psy.maranatha.edu <p>University students in Indonesia increasingly face academic adversity due to rapid curricular reforms, heightened performance demands, and psychosocial stressors. This study aims to examine the role of strength-based parenting (SBP) in fostering educational resiliency among Indonesian university students. Using a correlational quantitative design, 207 students were recruited through convenience sampling and completed self-report questionnaires measuring SBP and educational resiliency. Linear regression analysis revealed that SBP significantly predicted educational resiliency (R² = .101, p &lt; .001), suggesting that students who perceive parental recognition and support of their strengths are better equipped to manage academic stress. These findings align with Indonesia’s collectivist culture, where familial bonds extend into adulthood and influence student development. The study implies that integrating SBP into family engagement and academic support programs may enhance student resilience. Future educational policies should consider culturally grounded parenting strategies as part of student success frameworks.</p> 2025-07-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Education and Sosiotechnology (IJES) https://journal.kapin.org/index.php/IJES/article/view/129 A CASE STUDY OF MEDIA CONVERGEN IN FACING MEDIA DISRUPTION IN INDONESIA 2025-12-06T03:39:48+00:00 Asyam Ahmad Fathin asyamahmadfathin@gmail.com <p>Media disruption is a situation where digitalization changes industry practices exponentially. TvOne Holding is experiencing it, and deals with this disruption as consumers from the digital media sector continue to increase. This study explored the practice of the ‘long tail’, ‘economies of scope’, and ‘economies of scale’ in the application of media convergence. It is descriptive qualitative with a case study model by interviewing six TvOne journalists. The results shown that the three concepts of new economies in convergence activities have been implemented, but some aspects of the application have not been effectively carried out compared to other media companies.</p> 2025-07-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Education and Sosiotechnology (IJES)
