ABSTRACT Pradina, Socha Aura, Student Registered Number 126203211071. 2025. The Students’ Benefits in Joining Tourism Hunting Project. English Education Department Study Program. Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training. Advisor: Dr. Sukarsono, M.Pd. Keywords: Tourism Hunting Project (THP), Speaking Skills, Cross-Cultural Communication. English proficiency is an important competency in preparing students to face global demands, especially in the tourism sector. However, classroom learning that only focuses on theory is often considered insufficient to develop effective speaking skills. The Tourism Hunting Project (THP) offers an experiential learning approach through direct interaction with native speakers and foreign tourists. This study aims to examine the contribution of THP in improving students' speaking skills and their experience in managing tourism activities directly, especially in the English for Tourism course at UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung. This research focuses on the benefits that students gained through their involvement in the Tourism Hunting Project. In particular, it highlights how the program enhanced their practical experience in managing tourism-related activities while improving their English language skills in real-life contexts. Through hands-on practice with native speakers, participants were exposed to authentic communication situations that fostered their confidence and ability to apply theoretical knowledge in a meaningful way. This study uses qualitative approach with case study design. The data collection techniques used were semi-structured in-depth interviews and documentation. Data verification techniques were carried out through triangulation methods. Data verification techniques were carried out through triangulation methods followed by data analysis techniques using thematic analysis. The research findings indicate that students' participation in THP provided significant benefits in improving their speaking fluency, self-confidence, and understanding of hands-on practices in the world of tourism. The program creates a more contextual and enjoyable learning experience than conventional classroom learning. In addition, THP also encourages learning motivation and helps students hone communication skills that are relevant especially in the tourism industry.
