Abstract

This study focuses on a community service initiative to equip homemakers in RT 09, Griya Sutera Balaraja, Tangerang Regency, with Master of Ceremony (MC) skills. The program addressed the participants who still lack public speaking proficiency, often limiting their roles in community events. Thirty housewives aged 27-33 participated in the training conducted from September 27 to 29, 2025. Using a competency-based approach, the training integrates theoretical and practical components. It is structured into six stages: orientation, motivational sessions, mindset opening, technical training, feedback provision, and follow-up activities. Participants used public speaking simulations tailored for formal and informal events, practicing voice modulation, audience engagement, and improvisation. Observation and direct assessment results revealed significant improvements in participants' confidence, material mastery, and communication skills. Feedback showed high participant satisfaction, with many recognizing the program's relevance to their personal and social responsibilities. Recommendations for future training include enhanced pre-training socialization, improved facilities, and advanced follow-up sessions to ensure long-term skill retention. In conclusion, the MC training program enhanced participants' public speaking skills and fostered community solidarity. This initiative highlights the importance of localized, need-based training in empowering individuals and addressing specific community challenges. The program serves as a replicable model for similar contexts.

Abstract

This study examines teachers’ and students’ perceptions of integrating Islamic texts into English reading instruction at an Islamic high school in Tangerang, Indonesia. Although religious texts have the potential to support literacy development and character education, current English learning materials lack such integration. To address this gap, the study explores how educators and learners perceive Islamic texts and identifies the benefits and challenges of incorporating them into English reading classes. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with three English teachers and three students, open-ended questionnaires administered to thirty students, four classroom observations, and document analyses of syllabi and lesson plans. The findings show that both teachers and students respond positively to using Islamic texts: teachers regard them as effective tools for promoting moral values and enhancing reading skills, while students report increased engagement, motivation, and a stronger connection to the content. However, challenges include sourcing level-appropriate materials, managing linguistic complexity, and ensuring inclusivity in diverse classroom contexts. The study recommends careful material selection, collaboration between English and Islamic education teachers, and the use of varied multimodal resources aligned with the CEFR to integrate language instruction and character development effectively.
