Abstract

ABSTRACT

The ability of tour guides to use contextual, communicative, and discourse-based English remains limited, resulting in information delivery that has not yet been able to create meaningful tourism experiences for international tourists in a professional, adaptive manner oriented toward the needs of today’s global travelers. This program aims to enhance tour guides’ competencies in integrating tourism discourse, storytelling, and English tourism terminology as effective communication strategies in the global tourism era. The PKM employed interactive training, guiding simulations, field practice at tourist sites, and continuous mentoring as its main methods. The implementation stages included needs analysis, training on tourism discourse and storytelling concepts, practice in using English tourism terminology, and evaluation and reflection. The results indicate significant improvements in tour guides’ confidence, communicative competence, and narrative skills in conveying cultural, historical, and local uniqueness information in a more coherent and engaging manner. The main conclusion is that a discourse-based teaching approach is effective in strengthening tour guides’ communicative competence and contributes to enhancing the image of community-based tourist destinations in a sustainable way.

ABSTRAK

Masih terbatasnya kemampuan pemandu wisata dalam menggunakan bahasa Inggris yang kontekstual, komunikatif, dan berbasis wacana, sehingga penyampaian informasi belum mampu membangun pengalaman wisata yang bermakna bagi wisatawan mancanegara secara profesional, adaptif, dan berorientasi pada kebutuhan wisatawan global masa kini. Program ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi pemandu wisata dalam mengintegrasikan tourism discourse, storytelling, dan istilah pariwisata berbahasa Inggris sebagai strategi komunikasi yang efektif di era pariwisata global. Metode pelaksanaan PKM meliputi pelatihan interaktif, simulasi pemanduan, praktik lapangan di objek wisata, serta pendampingan berkelanjutan. Tahapan kegiatan mencakup analisis kebutuhan, pelatihan konsep tourism discourse dan storytelling, praktik penggunaan istilah pariwisata berbahasa Inggris, serta evaluasi dan refleksi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan kepercayaan diri, kemampuan komunikasi, serta keterampilan naratif pemandu wisata dalam menyampaikan informasi budaya, sejarah, dan keunikan lokal secara lebih koheren dan komunikatif. Simpulan utama dari kegiatan ini adalah bahwa pendekatan discourse-based teaching efektif dalam memperkuat kompetensi komunikatif pemandu wisata dan berkontribusi pada penguatan citra destinasi wisata berbasis masyarakat secara berkelanjutan.
