Abstract

This study aims to examine students' perceptions on the effectiveness of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program to improve English language skills at the Faculty of Agriculture, Samawa University. A mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory design was employed, started with quantitative data collection using a Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 107 students (from 129 students), followed by semi-structured interviews with 12 purposively selected informants. Four indicators were assessed: relevance of ESP materials, teaching methods, lecturers' ability to use learning media, and lecturers' discipline. The results showed that students' perceptions were generally in the high category (mean total = 3.24 on a scale of 1–4). The indicator of material relevance to agriculture obtained the highest score (mean = 3.42; very high), while the teaching methods indicator obtained the lowest score (mean = 3.10; high). Qualitative findings revealed that students appreciated the lecturers' mastery of content and use of learning media, but complained about teacher-centered teaching methods, lack of strict enforcement of rules, and limited applicative activities outside the classroom. Students recommended the addition of real projects such as interviewing farmers, making presentations, and involving native speakers. The study concludes that the ESP program at the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Samawa is perceived as effective, but there remains a gap between students' expectations of applicative learning and classroom realities, necessitating improvements in teaching methods toward more learner-centered and authentic task-based approaches.

Abstract

Teachers' competence in designing technology-based interactive learning media is one of the key factors for successful 21st-century learning. However, initial mapping at SMP Plus Aisyah Samawa revealed that approximately 70% of teachers still relied on conventional learning media, and more than 80% were unfamiliar with the Artificial Intelligence (AI) features of the Canva design platform, such as Magic Design, AI Presentation, and Text to Image. This community service program aimed to strengthen teachers' technical and pedagogical competence in developing interactive learning media using Canva AI, integrated with lesson plans (RPP) or teaching modules. The program was implemented in three stages: preparation, implementation (socialization, hands-on training with a 30% theory–70% practice composition, and classroom technology application), and evaluation, supported by three months of intensive post-training mentoring. Program success indicators were measured through pretest–posttest score improvements, the percentage of teachers producing interactive learning media products, and the integration of such media into lesson plans or teaching modules. The results showed an improvement in teachers' competence in utilizing Canva's AI features and an increase in student engagement during the learning process. This program is expected to serve as a replicable model for strengthening teachers' digital literacy in other pesantren-based schools in Sumbawa Regency, while contributing to the achievement of SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure).
