The research instruments were questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed descriptively, which showed that i) In general (98%) students have high expectations to study and work in Germany, for example, following the "Ausbildung," ii) 98% of students realize that reading and listening are ways to broaden horizons, enrich vocabulary, and avoid misunderstandings in both one-way and two-way communication; and iii) Students' cognitive perceptions of reading and listening skills contribute to their positive attitudes towards improving these receptive skills; this finding shows that positive perceptions and high expectations of students are inversely proportional to their receptive abilities.

Abstract

The problem faced by most elementary schools in Maluku, including SDN 250, East Saparua District, Central Maluku Regency, is that they do not receive English lessons at school. However, learning English from a young age is crucial in the current era of globalization. Therefore, community service activities (PkM) carried out through the teaching assistance program also provide English language teaching assistance at the school. This community service activity took place in December 2022 and is directed as "fun" learning English using the English songs via YouTube videos. The results of this PkM prove that implementing fun learning can motivate students to learn English and master vocabularies, with the results of writing English words very well (correctly), as evidenced by a total of 23 students (working in pairs, 16 students or 8 sheets) who were able to write words correctly (more than 70%), which means that the "fun" method can motivate students to learn English and can train students' ability to understand English words well too
