Abstract

 The purpose of this community service activity is to address common problems faced by high school students, particularly those at SMAN 1 Wonosari, namely their limited English-speaking ability. This problem arises from the lack of daily English communication and insufficient mastery of essential vocabulary. Overcoming this issue, the program aims to improve students’ speaking skills through classroom learning uses “Procedure Texts” as teaching material, contextualized within the students’ local cultural environment. This approach stimulates students’ thinking, facilitates idea expression, and builds confidence in speaking English. Moreover, it is expected to encourage peer influence and community engagement. The activity began with consultations with the school principal and class teachers, followed by the selection of suitable materials. Eclectic, Direct, and Indirect methods were applied, emphasizing individual speaking tasks using culturally relevant topics. A speaking assessment rubric was used to evaluate progress. Among 32 tenth-grade students, initial evaluation showed 26 received D category due to limited vocabulary and low fluency. After implementation, results improved significantly: 3 students achieved A, 16 obtained B, and 13 reached C categories. Comparing those two resutls of students’ speaking evaluation shows us that appying teaching material based on cultural context resulted high students’ ability in English speaking skills.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to design communicative and needs-based English teaching materials through training and mentoring activities for junior high school English teachers. The program was conducted in response to problems in English teaching, particularly the limited use of communicative learning methods, teachers’ dependence on grammar-focused instruction, limited teaching materials, and students’ low motivation and English achievement. The objective of the program was to improve teachers’ knowledge and skills in developing learner centered and contextual English teaching materials based on needs analysis. The program applied a participatory approach through workshops, group discussions, hands-on practice, and continuous mentoring sessions. Participants were introduced to communicative language teaching principles, needs analysis techniques, and strategies for designing interactive learning materials. The mentoring process also assisted teachers in revising and implementing the materials in classroom practice. As a result, participants demonstrated improved understanding, creativity, confidence, and competence in developing relevant, interactive, and communicative English teaching materials.
