During the Covid-19 pandemic, M99 Beverage had to halt any operations after trying to operate in the first three months of Covid-19. The problems faced by M99 Beverage are related to production, packaging, and product marketing efforts. Gully production was not optimal because it is still produced manually and depends on room temperature. Other problems are related to the non-optimal design of product packaging and marketing strategies, which are still manual (only relies on word-of-mouth marketing). The purpose of this community program is to increase the production and sales activities of M99 Beverage as a partner through procurement of production equipment, product marketing, and improvement of product labels or packaging designs. The methods used include observation, problem identification, problem formulation, implementation of problem solution actions, and evaluation of the outputs. The results of this program show that the partners can innovate in adding new product variants, namely ice wax, ice cream, and Gully Squeeze. After this program, partners also succeeded in designing labels that were more representative and reflect good branding. They have also succeeded in creating product promotion media based on digital platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, and landing pages. With the solution steps carried out through this program, partners' production and sales have increased from 40 bottles/week in June 2021, to 60 bottles/week in July 2021. This shows that this program is effective in increasing household industrial production activities, which operates in the dairy sector.

Abstract

Writing process has been proven to be an effective approach to enhance students’ writing performance. The writing process consists of pre-writing, drafting, revising, and editing. The writing process aids the students in developing ideas while writing, but it was claimed that students also face challenges during the process. Therefore, this current study aimed to investigate the students’ perceptions of the writing process and the challenges. The subjects taken were the first-year students of the English Educational program at the State University of Malang, in which 31 students of IC Writing Class were chosen. The perceptions were investigated through a survey study by distributing online questionnaires via Google Form. The questionnaire was divided into four aspects; pre-writing, drafting, revising, and editing, which aimed at exploring the students’ perceptions during the writing process and its challenges. The findings of the study showed that the students experienced difficulties in the writing process. The most challenging stages they had were the pre-writing and revising stage. The students faced challenges in generating and structuring ideas, respectively. Meanwhile, the students claimed that drafting and editing were less challenging since they followed the preceding stage. Nonetheless, the students also believed that proofreading was a complex process in the editing stage. The results of this study will be beneficial for English teachers and future researchers to vary the teaching methodology and reflect a better analysis.

Abstract

Writing in English is not an easy task for students. Many of the foreign language learners (EFL) find writing is a challenging activity and for some of them, writing is stressful. This paper is intended to describe the students’ writing problems when they are joining a writing course. The study uses a descriptive quantitative design. The participants were eighteen students from the English department of the Faculty of Letters, State University of Malang, and the rest were students who were interested in ESL from several universities. The instrument used in the study was a Likert Scale questionnaire, distributed by using a google form. Participants were asked to answer the questions listed in the questionnaire about problems in writing by choosing one of four options (strongly agree, agree, disagree, and strongly disagree) for the close-ended question, a short text answer for open-ended questions, and several choices regarding the types of writing errors. The finding shows that there are four main problems experienced by EFL students in learning to write in the Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang, such as writer’s block (43.5%), difficulty in expressing ideas (17.4 %), feeling less confident (21.7%), and afraid of making mistakes (17.4 %). The finding also shows that most errors and mistakes made by the students in their writing are the content of the writing (the unity and coherence), the organization, and the grammar. The study implies that the internal factors play an important factor in the students’ success to accomplish the writing task. Thus, the writing instructors/lecturers need to give positive reinforcement to the students so that they have more confidence to write.
