Tourist village has been one of the main focuses of Indonesia’s Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy right now. Indonesian government is targeting 3000 tourist villages in Indonesia, and some areas may start developing its tourist villages, one of which is Trenggalek, a small regency that is located in East Java. Trenggalek is targeting 100 tourist villages by 2024. One of the most important supporting components in tourist villages is tour guide. In other words, the role of tour guide is inseparable from the existence of tourist villages. To fulfill their duties, a tour guide must master some skills, one of which is English skill. A tour guide is required to comprehend four English skills, especially productive skills; speaking and writing. In Trenggalek, some tour guides are in charge of tourist villages. However, most of them have not joined English training programs. Their English skill level has also not been analysis or mapped. This study then initiates the analysis of English skill level of tour guides in tourist villages in Trenggalek. The study employs qualitative descriptive research to find the data. The findings reveal that there are some levels of both speaking and writing skill. However, speaking skill levels are more diverse compared to the writing ones.
As a result of the effects of COVID-19 spread, the Indonesian government issued a new policy in the educational sector instructing all educational units and institutions to carry out an online learning activity that can be held virtually and accessed everywhere and every time. To support online learning either in real-time or at different times, it usually uses a learning management system (LMS) in which students have more than sufficient time to read and understand the material and discuss it based on their availability. The LMS or e-learning currently implemented at UM Lamongan has several obstacles, such as an unsupported system to do the learning process and less than optimal bandwidth or limited access, so the users prefer to use other platforms. This study aims to develop e-learning media and adapt the system to the needs of learning English. In addition, e-learning media which can be used as asynchronous learning media can be integrated into learning media which are also commonly used for synchronous learning so that all learning processes can be monitored and disciplined. Moreover, the achievement of competence in learning English can be exceeded maximally. This research employed the research and development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model. The researcher used a descriptive quantitative approach. The assessment instruments used were test scores, interviews, observations, and interviews. The parties involved in this research were English lecturers, students, online learning media experts, and English learning material experts. Keywords: online learning, LMS, Polysynchronous, EFL
