Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve students' understanding of moral values and to strengthen their character through story-based learning. The program was carried out at SMAN 8 Padang, targeting ninth-grade students through training in story analysis using a critical narrative analysis approach. A participatory action approach was applied in the form of interactive workshops and Focus Group Discussions (FGD), with the training materials focused on narrative texts, the identification of moral values, and the reinforcement of characters' traits. The results show that students were able to identify the moral values embedded in the stories, particularly honesty, responsibility, cooperation, and empathy, and to relate them to their everyday lives. The activity also encouraged students to think more critically in evaluating the moral consequences of the characters' actions. These findings indicate that story-based moral value analysis training is an effective learning strategy to support the Character Education Strengthening (Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter) program in secondary schools.

Abstract

Students' ability to understand Job Vacancy materials remains a challenge in English language learning due to limited vocabulary mastery, insufficient understanding of text structure, and low confidence in identifying information related to the workplace. This condition encouraged the implementation of a Community Service Program in the form of Job Vacancy training for twelfth-grade students at SMA Pembangunan Padang. The program aimed to improve students' English proficiency through interactive learning activities. The methods included needs assessment, material presentation using PowerPoint, videos, and visual media, group discussions, educational games, practice in analyzing job vacancy advertisements, and end-of-program evaluation. The results showed that students actively participated throughout the training, demonstrated higher enthusiasm during learning activities, and improved their ability to identify essential elements of Job Vacancy texts. The program also created a more engaging learning environment and increased students' motivation to learn English. Therefore, interactive Job Vacancy training can serve as an effective community service strategy to support the improvement of English language competence among senior high school students.
