Abstract

Youth play a critical role in national development, especially in the tourism sector. The GSJA Bukit Hermon organization in Sorong City has primarily focused on leadership training, but has not yet addressed language skills, a key component of soft skills. With the significant tourism potential of Southwest Papua, local youth face challenges in communicating with tourists and lack vocabulary related to tourism. This Community Service Program aims to improve the English skills of GSJA youth using the Whispering Animation Game, a mobile application designed to help them understand and describe tourism destinations in English. The program adopts a Service Learning approach, involving five stages: (1) introduction to the application, (2) English training using the game, (3) application implementation, (4) practical guidance, and (5) program evaluation. Evaluation results showed a significant improvement in participants' understanding of local tourism sites, with knowledge increasing from 21.2% to 93.6%, a 72.4% improvement. The N-gain score of 0.77 (76.9%) indicates the effectiveness of the app in enhancing vocabulary and listening skills. This improvement supports the role of youth in tourism development and can create new job opportunities.
