Internship program plays a vital role in exposing students to real activities. During an internship program, a study program needs to develop the 'link and match' between curriculum and industries. Hotel industry absorbs a great number of English department graduates; however, data showed a quite significant decrease in the number of students conducting internship program in hotel industries. Through a qualitative inquiry, this study examined students' perceptions on their internship program at hotel industries. Using purposeful sampling, twenty-three sixth-semester students who had conducted their internships in hotel industries were selected as the participants. An online, structured, closed-ended questionnaire was distributed, followed by a semi structured interview with six out of the twenty-three participants. Data were analysed thematically. The findings of this study are expected to minimize the gap between education and the workplace and improve the implementation of internship program, particularly, in English study program.
Textual enhancement is a treatment to modify the appearance of a text (bold, underline, capitalize, italicize, etc.) in certain parts that are considered important. This recent paper aimed at reviewing the relationship between the action of implementing textual enhancement and the student's reading comprehension. In this paper, the writers tried to analyze and explain points related and their contribution to the student's reading comprehension. Several studies have shown that by modifying the appearance of texts, readers will find it easier to recognize, mark, and realize important things that need to be known from the text [1][2][3][4][5]. Related to scanning and skimming in reading, this treatment will give more impact on noticing important messages conveyed by the text. Once the reader can recognize and identify the important things in a text, the reader will understand the overall content of the text more easily.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
