This study explores the mastery of the simple present and present progressive tenses among second-semester Counseling Guidance students at Universitas Prof. Dr. Hazairin, SH, Bengkulu. The purpose of the study is to assess students ability to use these tenses correctly in both written and spoken forms. A mixed-methods approach was employed, consisting of a grammar test to evaluate students' written proficiency and structured interviews to assess their spoken usage. The results revealed that while students showed relatively high proficiency in using the simple present tense, their performance with the present progressive tense was weaker. Common errors identified included confusion between the two tenses, omission of auxiliary verbs, and incorrect verb forms. These findings suggest that students have a solid grasp of the simple present tense but face difficulties with the present progressive tense, largely due to the absence of similar tense forms in their native language. The study concludes that targeted grammar instruction, particularly focused on the present progressive tense, is essential. It also recommends incorporating task-based learning and form-focused instruction to enhance grammatical accuracy. The findings offer valuable insights into tense acquisition among Indonesian EFL learners and have implications for improving English grammar teaching practices at the university level.

Masalah stunting masih menjadi tantangan serius di berbagai wilayah, termasuk di desa Sri Kuncoro, kecamatan Pondok Kelapa, Bengkulu Tengah. Rendahnya pemahaman masyarakat mengenai gizi seimbang serta kurangnya keterjangkauan informasi dengan bahasa yang mudah dipahami menjadi salah satu penyebab utama. Kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kesadaran masyarakat tentang pentingnya gizi dalam pencegahan stunting melalui pendekatan edukatif menggunakan bahasa lokal. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini meliputi sosialisasi gizi, distribusi buku saku, penyuluhan dengan media visual, dan diskusi interaktif dengan ibu-ibu serta kader kesehatan setempat. Seluruh materi disampaikan menggunakan bahasa daerah setempat agar lebih komunikatif dan mudah diterima oleh peserta. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman peserta terhadap pentingnya asupan gizi pada masa kehamilan dan usia dini anak, serta meningkatnya partisipasi aktif dalam Posyandu dan praktik pemberian makanan bergizi di lingkungan keluarga. Pendekatan penggunaan bahasa lokal terbukti mampu menjembatani kesenjangan komunikasi antara pendidik dan masyarakat sasaran, serta membangun kedekatan emosional yang mendukung perubahan perilaku. Kegiatan ini menyimpulkan bahwa edukasi gizi berbasis bahasa lokal merupakan strategi efektif dalam mempercepat penanganan stunting pada masyarakat pedesaan yang memiliki karakteristik budaya dan bahasa tersendiri.
