Abstract

The emergence of e-LKM is a technological advancement for Generation Z, whose each day is heavily reliant on technology, allowing the use of e-LKM particularly suited in this digital era. This research aims to examine the need to find an appropriate needs analysis that include the first stage of the 5D model (Define, Design, Demonstrate, Develop, and Deliver). The needs analysis seeks to discover and aims to develop e-LKM based on 1) Students’ target needs, 2) Students’ learning needs, and 3) The perceptions of English lecturers on the e-LKM. The researchers used a questionnaire and distributed it to 240 students.  The result of this study indicated that 1) The student's target needs display that students learn English to be able to communicate and support their future (career and further studies), 2) The student's learning needs point out that students need lecturers and materials as the main source of learning, and 3) The English lecturer perception on students' English language skills are still low and there are gaps between students. This study suggests lecturers create a proper e-LKM for students to use in the learning process since the level of need for e-LKM is quite high.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to measure the impact of fun activities in English language learning on improving the speaking skills of children at Muhammadiyah Orphanage in Sumenep. The implemented activities included role-plays, language games, storytelling, and singing English songs. The study used a descriptive qualitative method with a naturalistic approach, supported by speaking assessments and learning experience questionnaires as primary instruments. The results showed a significant improvement across four speaking skill aspects: fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary use, and message delivery. The average speaking score increased from 3.05 to 4.33, indicating the effectiveness of the approach in a non-formal educational setting. In addition, the questionnaire results revealed that children felt more confident, motivated, and enjoyed the English learning process. These findings support the Communicative Language Teaching approach and Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, both of which emphasize the importance of meaningful, low-pressure learning environments. Overall, this study recommends implementing fun-based learning methods as an effective strategy to enhance children’s speaking abilities, particularly in educationally limited settings such as orphanages.ABSTRAKKegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur dampak kegiatan menyenangkan dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris terhadap peningkatan kemampuan berbicara anak-anak di Panti Asuhan Muhammadiyah Sumenep.
