Should English Instruction survive on New Term Tourism Classes? Bilingual Perspectives

Jumhur Hakim, Muhammad Ali Sukran, Hasan Basri, Muhammad Adi Junaidi, Muhammad Ramli

Abstract


In support of bilingual practice in Universitas Hamzanwadi, the tourism department has successfully made use of English instruction for three particular courses. Tourismpreneur, as an excellent core of the tourism study program, campaigned to enable students (college students) to stay connected with English academics and business. Furthermore, this research entails a qualitative content of new term colleagues' opinions on how English is fully implemented for learning instruction. Using reliable questionnaires, statements recording needs and challenges through Google form have been distributed to elicit their perspectives on English instruction trial policy in the context of tourism classes. We investigated 82 college students from the stratified uneven semester (semester one, three) with an online survey design for three tourism classes. Our results extend well-established findings in agreement that English instruction should maintain courses in the classroom. Yet, few claim it is unnecessary and should be in all courses. The most apparent comments have been to shape English-lingua Franca as survival communicative skills required by tourism students to better work positions after graduation. Barriers in classroom learning are discussed.
