Abstract

This community service research is motivated by the low student motivation. This is limited English teaching methods at RA Al-Ikhlas Duyu, particularly due to teachers’ lack of formal background in English education. Therefore, the development of these interactive games were chosen as a solution to create more engaging and developmentally appropriate learning for young learners. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach supported by quantitative data from pre-test and post-test result. The Participants consisted of 8 teachers and 60 early childhood students aged 5-6 years. The program was conducted from February to March 2026 through workshop, classroom mentoring, and direct teaching practice. The findings showed that interactive games such as Flashcard Matching, Sing and Move, and Role-Playing increased students’ participation, confidence and vocabulary mastery. The average students score improved from 58 in the pre-test to 81 in the post-test, indicating 39,6% increase. In addition, more than 75% of teachers were able to independently implement game-based learning activities. The study concludes that the interactive games are an effective, low-cost, and practical strategy for improving English learning in early childhood education

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed the dynamics of reading comprehension instruction, particularly in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. This study aims to explore the perspectives of EFL pre-service teachers regarding the teaching and learning of reading comprehension in digital-based learning environments. Additionally, the research seeks to understand the challenges these preservice teachers face in teaching reading skills and to investigate the effectiveness of current digital media in enhancing EFL pre-service teachers’ reading comprehension abilities. Employing a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected through online questionnaires distributed to 26 respondents, while qualitative data were obtained from interviews with 10 participants. The findings indicate that the pre-service teachers generally hold positive perceptions of using digital technology in reading instruction, recognizing its potential to enhance accessibility, interactivity, and student engagement. However, they also encounter various challenges, including limited access to stable internet connections, the complexity of language and vocabulary in reading texts, insufficient institutional support, and students’ low motivation when engaging with digital texts. Ultimately, digital media serve as a valuable supplement rather than a replacement for teachers’ pedagogical creativity and facilitative roles in the learning process. This study provides an overview of the current state of digital-based learning and emphasizes the importance of strengthening digital literacy in teacher education programs.
