Abstract

Religious tourism constitutes not only a form of spiritual practice but also a channel for cultural diplomacy and global engagement. In Palembang, the annual Ziarah Kubro pilgrimage attracts a growing number of domestic and international visitors. However, limited English proficiency among local pilgrimage guides and pesantren communities constrains the effective communication of religious values, historical narratives, and local wisdom. This community service program aimed to enhance the English communication skills of students at Pesantren Al-Amalul Khair who are directly involved in pilgrimage-related activities, thereby supporting the professionalization of religious tourism services at the community level. The program employed a contextualized English for Tourism framework and commenced with a language needs analysis conducted through field observations, semi-structured interviews, and diagnostic pre-tests to identify participants’ communicative needs. Participants were selected based on their active roles in guiding, hospitality, and religious tourism support. Training activities consisted of role-play simulations of guiding scenarios, guided speaking exercises, visual-based vocabulary instruction, and the collaborative development of bilingual digital brochures. Authentic communicative practice was reinforced through field mentoring during actual pilgrimage activities. Program evaluation was carried out using pre- and post-test, performance-based observation, and qualitative participant feedback. The findings indicated marked improvements in vocabulary mastery, functional guiding expressions, cultural interpretation abilities, and communicative confidence among participants. To ensure sustainability, the program facilitated the establishment of an English Club and provided bilingual learning resources tailored to religious tourism contexts. Overall, the program demonstrates that context-based English training integrated into community practices can effectively strengthen local capacity, enhance community engagement, and support the development of religious tourism services with global orientation.

Abstract

Limited renewable energy literacy and inadequate utilization of organic waste remain significant challenges in school-based environmental education. This community service program aimed to enhance renewable energy literacy and practical biomass utilization skills among students and teachers at Al-Amalul Khair Islamic Boarding School, Palembang, Indonesia, through aromatic biobriquette production training. The program employed a community-based learning approach consisting of lectures, technical demonstrations, hands-on practice, and interactive discussions. Thirty participants were involved in the activity. Program effectiveness was evaluated using a one-group pretest–posttest design. The results showed a significant increase in participants’ knowledge, with the mean score improving from 45.67 before the training to 95.00 after the training. In addition, participants demonstrated strong engagement during practical activities and expressed willingness to apply aromatic biobriquette technology for sustainable organic waste management. The findings indicate that hands-on training effectively improves renewable energy literacy and technical competencies related to biomass-based energy production.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools often face administrative inefficiencies due to the use of manual archiving systems, leading to difficulties in document retrieval and high risks of data loss. This community service program aims to improve efficiency by implementing a Microsoft Access-based digital archiving system at Al-Amalul Khair Islamic Boarding School in Palembang. The method applied is Participatory Action Research, which includes needs analysis, system design, hands-on training, and evaluation. The results show a significant increase in efficiency, with document retrieval time reduced from 30 minutes to under 2 minutes. The digital capacity of administrative staff has also increased, as demonstrated by the enhanced knowledge and skills of the administrative staff, who are now able to operate the Microsoft Access-based digital archiving application. This program has successfully created an applicable system, complete with a user guide and copyright protection. Therefore, the implementation of the digital archiving system has proven to be a strategic solution in strengthening the administrative governance of the pesantren in the modern era.
