Abstract: The purpose of this service program (PKM) that we have held in Taman Sari Hijau Housing aims to study the extent of the ability or competence of elementary school children in English in the housing. With a quota of 30 students, we came to the conclusion that most of the students, apart from the lack of access to English content, we also found a lack of interest in English, so the PKM that we conducted was not only about studying partner problems, but also introducing them to English and teaching with more effective methods, and the results showed that children do need a more "fun" approach than memorizing standard vocabulary, so they can use the vocabulary they have learned with more confidence. Keywords: community service; english language proficiency; interest in learning; fun learning methods Abstrak: Program pengadian kepada masyarakat (PKM) yang diselenggarakan di Perumahan Taman Sari Hijau berdasarkan pada kebutuhan dan peningkatan kemauan belajar dan juga minat dalam meningkatkan kemampuan Bahasa Inggris di lingkungan tersebut. Terdapat 30 anak-anak pada jenjang Sekolah Dasar yang menjadi peserta kegiatan ini. Berdasarkan hasil obeservasi awal ditemukan bahwa masih kurangnya akses terhadap konten pembelajaran berbahasa Inggris dan juga masih kurangnya minat anak-anak untuk belajar Bahasa Inggris. Dalam pelaksanaannya, kegiatan PKM ini dilaksanakan dengan mempelajari permasalahan mitra dan kemudian memperkenalkan dan mengimplemnetasikan pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris dengan metode yang lebih efektif. Metode yang digunakan adalah Total Physical Response (TPR) yang diterapkan melalui tahapan kegiatan yang terstruktur, dimulai dari pengenalan kosakata sederhana, demonstrasi gerakan oleh pengajar, hingga praktik langsung oleh siswa melalui permainan edukatif (games). Hasil dari kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak memang membutuhkan pendekatan yang lebih “menyenangkan” dari pada penghafalan kosakata yang baku, sehingga mereka dapat menggunakan kosakata yang telah mereka pelajari dengan lebih percaya diri. Kata kunci: pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM); kemampuan bahasa inggris; minat belajar; metode pembelajaran menyenangkan

Abstract

While digital media have made English exposure outside the classroom increasingly accessible, little is known about how undergraduate learners engage with it or perceive its contribution to their language development. Previous studies have tended to examine either the frequency and duration of extramural English activities or their relationship to language outcomes, but rarely both alongside learners' own perceptions, limiting a more contextualized understanding of informal engagement. This quantitative descriptive study addressed this gap by examining the types, frequency, duration, and perceived benefits of extramural English activities among 190 undergraduate students enrolled in a general English course at a private Indonesian university. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed descriptively. Results showed that exposure was predominantly entertainment-oriented and digitally mediated, with listening to English songs (M = 4.31) and watching short social media videos (M = 4.20) reported as the most frequent activities, while music (M = 2.37) and online gaming (M = 2.06) accounted for the longest engagement durations. Despite this largely receptive, entertainment-driven pattern, students perceived these activities as beneficial, particularly for improving listening skills (M = 4.13) and reading skills (M = 4.09). These findings suggest that informal English exposure among undergraduates is substantial yet unevenly distributed, concentrated in accessible entertainment activities, while still perceived as valuable for language learning. This points to a need for educators to better integrate students' existing out-of-class practices into formal instruction through authentic, multimodal, and interaction-oriented learning opportunities that connect informal exposure with purposeful language learning.
