November 2022 INTRODUCTION The development of tourist villages is currently being intensified by the government, as can be seen from the local government's efforts to present rural nature, as well as other potential supporters. (Desa Wisata Jadi Perhatian Utama. Kompas. 22/05/2017,19:15 WIB). In order to support the development activities of the Sermo tourist village, the AuBule MengajarAy Community, in collaboration with the Sermo community held an English language training. English language training is a program offered as a way to support human resource development. At the beginning of the program, it is targeted that 50 people can participate in the training. This targeting of participants is based on the fact that the entrance for tourist arrivals. YIA (Yogyakarta International Airpor. has been moved to Kulon Progo, requiring Englishspeaking resources. This makes the AuBule MengajarAy Community optimistic about the programs offered. The AuBule MengajarAy community believes that the English language training program will run as expected because of the condition of the people who have rarely served tourists using English Ae if any, they have been accompanied by a guide from outside the Sermo Tourism Village, who understands English. At the time the English language training program was offered, the public's response was very high, because English language training was a new thing for the people of Hargowilis. Kulon Progo especially Sermo, which had never been done before. This training was held in order to assist the development of human resources in the Sermo Tourism Village as a way to develop tourism in Kulon Progo. Kulon Progo which is currently the gateway for tourist arrivals with the existence of YIA (Yogyakarta International Airpor. , and Adikarto Harbor wants to realize one of the missions conveyed by the Tourism Office.

This study was used to explore what factors caused the decline in public interest in English language training in Sermo Tourism Village. Hargowilis. Kulon Progo which was organized by the AuBule MengajarAy Community? Is it because of: . training materials and content. training facilities, are the obstacles and causes of decreased interest in English language training? What is the solution to overcome the declining interest of the Sermo Tourism Village community in English language LITERATUR REVIEW Training According to Andrew F.

In delivering the training material, a method must be used. The method is a way of delivering material to the trainees. The main purpose of the learning method is to help develop the individual abilities of the participants to be able to solve the problem. The accuracy of the training method cannot be separated from ability development, measurement of clear goals, and changes in attitude that are applied with several choices of methods according to the training environment including lectures, guest (Wagonhurst, 2. http://jurnal. id/index. php/MWS EISSN 26858436 Other training methods are lectures, videotapes, demonstrations, role-plays, on the job, and case discussions according to Christiansen et al.

Extrinsic motivation tool, this motivation will encourage participants to be more enthusiastic about participating in training activities. Learning strategies, the application of learning methods makes participants able to capture knowledge well. A tool to achieve goals, the learning method is a tool so that participants can achieve the training Therefore, every trainer needs to know the most appropriate learning method to be applied based on the characteristics of the participants. After there are materials and provisions for training methods, the instructor is also a determinant of the success of the training.

The meaning is that a foreign language is only used at certain times and in certain circumstances not as a language used in everyday life. However, the ability to use a foreign language is very necessary because AuA used by persons for communication across frontier or with others who are not from their countryAy. Besides that, foreign languages are also needed, as Quirk's opinion is AuA for certain official, social, commercial or educational activities within their own countryAy. (Quirk 1.

Selecting actions with determine what actions must be done in achieving the goal, and set aside actions that are not in accordance with these goals (Sardiman, 2. Various opinions of experts can be concluded that interest can arise when there are: internal factors of self-motivation, attention to activities that are liked, positive attitude, because of its function in life, and external factors which include family environment, home atmosphere, economic situation, workplace or school, all of which are owned by individuals. Society Society also means the unity of human life that interacts according to a certain system of customs that is continuous, and is bound by a sense of shared identity (Koentjaraningrat. According to Paul B. Horton and Chester L. Hunt, in Gunsu Nurmasyah et al. society is a collection of humans who are relatively independent, live together for a http://jurnal. id/index. php/MWS EISSN 26858436 long time, live in a certain area, have the same culture and activities, which carried out within the group. AS Ralph Linton, states that society is any group of people who live and work together for a relatively long time and are able to organize their lives together and they regard the group as a social unit. Type of Society Rahmadhani in https://tirto. id/gbbv wrote that society is divided into two types. First, modern society, a society that is no longer bound by customs. In modern society, customs are considered to be able to hinder Therefore, modern society prefers to adopt new values that are more rational in making progress. Traditional societies are people who are still bound by traditions or customs that have been passed down from generation to generation. In other words, the life of traditional people has not been influenced by changes that come from outside the social environment. One thing that distinguishes traditional society from modern society is the dependence of traditional society on nature, marked by the process of adaptation to the natural Kulon Progo Community Before the existence of Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA), as said by Sutedjo.

METHOD The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a descriptive This descriptive qualitative research describes conditions, objects, or social phenomena when the research is Information was collected from informants to get an overview of events and facts in the Sermo Tourism Village Community which showed a decline in interest in English language training, which finally stopped before the training program was completed. The discontinuation of training has an impact on the unfulfilled human resources that can support the mission of the Tourism Office to create competitive human resources. This research was conducted in Sermo Lor village. Kokap sub-district. Kulon Progo district. Yogyakarta. Informants become sources for obtaining data, in addition to observations and documents. The informant was determined through a purposive technique, based on the consideration and purpose that the informant really mastered the information on decreasing interest in the participants' English language training organized by the AuBule MengajarAy Community. In the next stage, structured interviews with trainers/trainers and training participants were conducted along with searching for supporting documents to complete the existing information data. The data validity technique used triangulation technique. While the data analysis using interactive analysis consists of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing EISSN 26858436 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Kapanewon Kokap as a representation of the tourist area, and Sermo is one of the villages that has the Sermo Reservoir as a tourist Before the reservoir existed, the livelihoods of the people of Dusun Sermo were mostly farmers, livestock raising, nderes, and coconut traders. Designed as a tourism area, community members are required to reorient their livelihoods into a goods and service industry (Gunawan dkk. Being a goods industrial area is not as complicated as a service industry which is intangible but can be felt by users, namely In order to create a service industry that can meet the needs of tourists. English language training by the AuBule MengajarAy Community is offered to the public through the youth organization led by Mr. Burhan. The training participants are dominated by youth aged around 17-25 years, totaling 25 people at the beginning of the training program. Male and female participants were balanced, not dominated by one of them. Judging from the type of work, the trainees are workers and students with various levels of education and level of English language skills, some are familiar, can use a little, but some are not familiar with it or even don't know it at all. The consequence of a Tourism Village as a service industry, of course, must be able to communicate the uniqueness of natural attractions, traditions, and other unique elements as a whole to tourists because "Sermo is a tourist village that is sometimes visited by foreign tourists" and "sometimes people want to greet, but can't do". Therefore, the informant said that "friends want to improve their English language skills". This was done, as a first step towards realizing the mission conveyed by the Tourism Office.

Another local government support is the existence of many homestays that are already 'hotel' level in the Sermo community. http://jurnal. id/index. php/MWS ISSN 16935969 Media Wisata. Volume 20. Nomor 2. November 2022 Therefore, the AuBule MengajarAy Community began to carry out the training with a scheduled meeting once a week for approximately 6 months and was attended by about 25 participants. The AuBule MengajarAy community is a social or non-profit association in Kulon Progo and was founded by Lia Andarina Grasia. The existence of this association is a forum to contribute to helping Kulon Progo youth, especially in the fields of education, social, culture and tourism. Foreigners become guest trainers, and the main trainers in the AuBule MengajarAy Community are outstanding youth members of the group, who have won a competition Training Materials and Content Training materials are adjusted to the objectives to be achieved by the participants. While the objectives conveyed by the informant were "to increase knowledge and experience, learn to interact and socialize, and also improve English language skills". Another reason is Aubecause of its extraordinary benefitsAy as stated by the informant (Bapak Burhan dan Harba Sar. , one of which is to Augreet foreign tourists/foreignersAy. Based on the objectives to be achieved, the training materials are selected, general conversations such as showing directions, describing the area, explaining traditional food or drinks with the target of promoting the area, including culinary tourism, homestays in Kulon Progo. The training material is more emphasized on speaking as conveyed by the informant that AuAthe material used is general conversation and is often used in everyday life which can be implemented when meeting with foreign tourists, such as showing directions, describing the area, introducing yourself, giving brief information about traditional drinks, food etc. Ay, . nterview with informant Andika Mukt. Therefore, the ability to pronounce . which will be used in oral communication gets more attention from the The training materials are taken from the daily reality or circumstances around the trainees' lives. http://jurnal. id/index. php/MWS EISSN 26858436 The results of the interview with the informant Ibrahim said ". the training in Sermo. themes taught were interesting and easy to " and the informant (Andika Mukt. pretty structured. ", proving that the "Bule Teaching " has tried to align the training objectives with the teaching materials, as the trainees wanted. This means that the training materials have met two of the seven aspects proposed by Iskandarwassid and Dadang Sunendar, namely benefits and practicality for participants. However, if explored further, the training materials have not been designed properly because there is no raw material containing plans, predictions and projections that will be carried out during training activities and each trainer makes their own. The training materials from the AuBule MengajarAy Community improvement, such as in considering linguistic aspects, conformity with basic competencies that must be achieved and content that is interesting for all training The participant's statement ". yesterday's material. what I remember is just an introduction", is proof that the training materials have not stuck to the participants and need to be reorganized. Overall, the material in the AuBule MengajarAy Community has not proven the success of the training. Another thing that supports the training materials need improvement is that the training does not run as expected, ending The material is made to attract participants, for example, an unusual title is adapted to the ability of the participants to stick in the minds of the participants, so that they are interested in implementing it. Trainer AuBule MengajarAy is a community of outstanding people who do not yet have an established organizational structure, but have a commendable mission, to contribute in the fields of education, social, culture and It can be said that the trainer is voluntary, which is not required to have ISSN 16935969 Media Wisata. Volume 20. Nomor 2. November 2022 special requirements or qualifications as a trainer/instructor, because the community members come from the winners of the As communicators, trainers/instructors in the AuBule MengajarAy community must have: Teaching skills. includes skills to open and close lessons, explain, make variations, ask questions, provide reinforcement, teach small groups or individuals, lead discussions, manage classes Communication skills. an ability or expertise in carrying out activities of communicating, sending and receiving messages or news between two or more people so that the intended message can be understood.

Technical Competent. work competence, a work skill possessed by everyone which includes elements of knowledge, skills, and also work attitudes that are in accordance with previously established standards (UU No. Tahun 2. Emotional Stability. is a condition of emotional maturity or a person's soul in dealing with changing circumstances with appropriate and fast reactions, both technically and non-technically (Arthur dan Emily, 2. Judging from the way to get members in the AuBule MengajarAy Community, it is based on education, communicative and humanist personality. Membership of the EISSN 26858436 "Bule Mengajar" community is not based on overall abilities which include teaching, personality, stable emotions and technical competence in teaching. Separately not as a whole, some individual abilities are fulfilled such as communication skills, personality maturity, and work skills. However, the trainer as a communicator must have all the requirements as a trainer. So as a trainer/instructor, you are not only good at a science, but you are required to be a reliable communicator who meets other requirements that support his success in training. Training Method The training can be said to be similar to study, the training time is not long, special things are learned, adjusted to the needs of the Methods must be adapted to participants because training is used to change AuShare Your KnowledgeAy is the slogan of the AuBule MengajarAy Community. The slogan contains a message that members of the "Bule Mengajar" community must be willing to share knowledge. Another message is that members of the "Bule Mengajar" community contribute in the fields of education, social, culture and tourism by referring to their knowledge. The slogan "share your knowledge" used by the "Bule Mengajar" community is also a technique for delivering material in the training. Not only techniques for obtaining quality training outputs, but also methods. The method used by "Bule Mengajar" is Contextual Teaching Learning. Contextual involvement of participants with real-life The learning process is emphasized on the involvement of trainees in linking learning materials with real-life conditions, while the trainers/instructors only act as facilitators. The trainees are dominated by young people, aged between 17 to 25 years, so the training techniques used are groups, playing while http://jurnal. id/index. php/MWS ISSN 16935969 Media Wisata. Volume 20. Nomor 2. November 2022 learning, and hanging out. It is assumed that the use of this technique is suitable for all participants, due to different backgrounds, both educationAi"some are already working, some have just graduated from high school, some are still in junior high school" and knowledge of EnglishAiAusome can speak English a little, some canAot speak English at allAy (Fifit Cholifah, informan. Sharing is seen as the delivery of material in one direction similar to the lecture method, participants only listen, whereas with training it is expected that participants can speak and express something related to their needs. The diversity of education levels, as well as the participants' language skills, the appropriate method and media to be used in training is a differentiated learning strategy. The use of this strategy can enable all trainees to learn together with different levels of The grouping of participants and the Contextual Teaching and Learning method used by the AuBule MengajarAy Community is the right way to anticipate heterogeneous The sharing technique is very difficult for those with minimal English skills. For participants who do not have knowledge and are not able to speak EnglishAithis is an obstacle, will cause reluctance to come to the next training. So it can be said that a quality training program includes two main inseparable aspects, namely material and process. The main key in selecting materials is planning made by the trainer/instructor by taking into account various factors, such as the level of understanding, education, environment and others from the participants. While in the process the role of the trainer/instructor is more dominant in directing the course of the training through the right method. Training Participants The participants who took part in the training were the people of Sermo Tourism Village in particular and Kokap in general, whose ages were between 17-25 years old. Some of the participants are workers and some are http://jurnal. id/index. php/MWS EISSN 26858436 students, the educational background of the participants is different, some have just graduated from high school, some are still in junior high school, as well as their knowledge of EnglishAi" some can speak English a little, some canAot speak English at allAy (Fifit Cholifah, informan. It can be said that the trainees are heterogeneous, due to differences in age, language skills, varying levels of education, and occupations. Job differences are a bit of an obstacle for trainers/instructors to find the right time for all participants AuAthe time collides with work timeAAy AuAI have no free time if to learn English again AAy (Ibrahim's Those reasons triggered the participants' absence from the training. But whatever the reason, if the participants have high motivation, it will be like what Smith and Sarason . said that motivation will be the driving force. So someone who has the motivation to do training will carry out activities to achieve goals. In the interview it was revealed that Authe background of the English language training being held was the project demands from members of the AuBule MengajarAy Community studying in AustraliaAy (Informant Primadi Atmaj. Participants view themselves as only objects, not subjects that must be turned into human resources capable of speaking English. could be said that the traineesAinot all of them. Auwere less interested in learningAy, but because English language training was only a way to fulfill the demands of a project from members of the AuBule MengajarAy Community. Moreover, there is an assumption that after completing the training, you can Auget to work right awayAy or AuA a month of practice can directly communicateAy. Based on various reasons, the training participants indicated that there were various obstacles that came from the participants, thereby reducing their interest in carrying out English language training. ISSN 16935969 Media Wisata. Volume 20. Nomor 2. November 2022 Training Facilities English training facilities in the Tourism Village are very minimal, only tables and chairs and no other facilities. English as a foreign language whose pronunciation is also different requires video tape material, with native speakers because the arrival of foreign volunteers is uncertain. CONCLUSION There are various reasons for the decline in participants' interest in language training held in Sermo Tourism Village. The training program broadly covers two main aspects that are inseparable between material and process. In terms of material, it can be said that the material has met the needs of the participants, daily conversation. While the process, which includes methods, trainers, participants and training facilities, still needs to be improved because it causes a decrease in the interest of the trainees. The training method is not monotonous but uses various methods. Trainers must not only be smart but also as reliable communicators who have teaching skills including knowledge and skills, ability to communicate messages, personality maturity and soul. Aspects of the process that have not been met so that a decrease in interest occurs in the training held at the Sermo Tourism Village. the all-digital era, social media can be used as a training tool that can attract the interest of training participants.
