Abstract

Children in rural communities have few opportunities to interact in fun ways to learn English. This means low motivation and little exposure to the language as it is really used. Learning opportunities that foster language development and learner confidence might be available thru community-based education programs. This community service was conducted at the Banyuwangi Community Learning Center, Cibitung District, Sukabumi Regency. This community service is aimed to improve the English skill of young students thru English Fun program. The program was conducted for a month (Monday-Thursday) with elementary and secondary school students. The activities were participatory and learner-centered thru interactive games, songs, storytelling, vocabulary enrichment, simple conversations, role-playing and collaborative learning. The activities were intended to create a happy learning environment, to promote active participation, and to facilitate meaningful communication in the English language. Implementation showed increased student enthusiasm, confidence, classroom participation and willingness to use English in daily interactions. The constant practice helped the learners to improve their basic vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation and communication skills. To conclude, the English Fun program was effective in improving the basic English skills of children and cultivating positive attitudes toward learning English. With this program, we highlight the positive effects of sustainable community-based learning projects that help increase access to education and support English language learning for rural community children.

Abstract

Speaking skill is one of the most important productive talents in learning English, especially for the students of rural junior high school who have limited opportunities to practice in the real communicative scenarios. The community service activity was aimed at improving the speaking skills of SMP Negeri 4 Tegal Buleud students through a systematic self introduction training program using the framework of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). The program was held on Thursday, 16 April 2026 by lecturers of STKIP Bina Mutiara and involved about 40 students in five stages sequentially, namely warm-up and ice-breaking, structured input delivery, expert modeling, guided pair-work practice, and individual presentation with corrective feedback. Data were gathered by observation using a six-dimensional rubric and indicated that 52.5% of the participants reached the “Very Good” level, 35% “Good” and 12.5% “Sufficient” and no participant was graded below sufficient. The practice lowered language anxiety considerably, enhanced communicative confidence, and improved students’ willingness to communicate (WTC) in English. These findings confirm the relevance of CLT principles to non-formal educational settings and emphasize the strategic position of higher education institutions to close the pedagogical gap in schools in under-served communities. The strategy established is scalable and adaptable for wider community-oriented English speaking empowerment projects.
