Abstract

Belajar bahasa asing sangat baik jika dimulai sedini mungkin karena anak kecil sangat pandai meniru bunyi-bunyi yang baru dan beradaptasi dengan cara pengucapan bahasa. Otak mereka masih terbuka untuk mempelajari bunyi-bunyi dan pola bahasa baru. Pengajaran bahasa inggris pada sekolah PAUD selayaknya mendapat perhatian segala pihak terutama menyangkut tersedianya pengajar Bahasa Inggris yang berkompeten. Pengajar PAUD pada umumnya bukanlah lulusan Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris yang benar-benar menguasai cara mengajar Bahasa Inggris. Mereka tidak dibekali strategi dan teknik mengajar Bahasa Inggris dan mereka harus belajar sendiri untuk kemudian mengajarkannya kepada anak. Kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada masyarakat ini telah dilaksanakan pada hari Selasa, tanggal 29 Juli 2020. Mengingat dan menimbang situasi belum kondusif dikarenakan masalah Covid-19, maka kegiatan ini dilakukan secara daring atau online dengan memanfaatkan aplikasi Zoom. Dari 12 guru yang deirencanakan ikut terlibat dalam online meeting ini, yang bisa hadir 9 orang karena yang lain terkendala dengan perangkat yang tidak bisa menginstal aplikasi Zoom. Kegiatan berjalan dengan lancar walaupun pada awalnya mengalami masalah yang kemungkinan disebabkan oleh perangkat komputer atau jaringan internet yang kurang stabil. Ini bisa menjadi pengalaman berharga baik kami sebagai pelaksana kegiatan PPM dan guru atau pihak sekolah mitra agar kedepannya bisa lebih baik lagi jika akan melaksanakan kegiatan serupa yang memanfaatkan online meeting via Zoom seperti ini.

Abstract

Pandemi global Covid-19 telah membuat berbagai bidang seperti bisnis, pariwisata, olahraga, sekolah beralih ke platform daring untuk menghindari penyebaran Covid-19. Sejauh ini, salah satu sekolah di Kabupaten Batanghari, MAN 5 Batanghari yang berlokasi di Desa Selat, Kecamatan Pemayung, Kabupaten Batanghari yang menjadi mitra dalam kegiatan pengabdian ini, melaksanakan pembelajaran daring dengan menggunakan platform Whatsapp. Keterbatasan Whatsapp sebagai platform dalam pembelajaran daring menyebabkan Kegiatan Belajar Mengajar menjadi kurang efektif.

Oleh karena itu, tujuan tim pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah melaksanakan kegiatan “Workshop Penggunaan Learning Management System (Google Classroom) untuk Guru MAN 5 Batanghari”. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian ini diawali dengan survey ke sekolah mitra, yaitu MAN 5 Batanghari. Pada tahap ini, tim pengabdian melakukan koordinasi dengan pihak sekolah.

Abstract

Teaching materials are crucial in education. They are tools for teachers to facilitate students to learn and improve the interaction of a teacher and students. Teaching materials should fulfill some criteria. One of them is the suitability of the materials to students' needs and interests. This study aims to explore students' perceptions toward teaching materials for the subject of Listening and Speaking for General Purposes. The study employs a mixed method. A questionnaire and an interview were used to gather the comprehensive data. The data from the questionnaire were analyzed using a statistical calculation, while the interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The teaching materials were provided by three lecturers from three different classes. The results showed that teaching materials used by D1 and D2 were considered good and beneficial for students, while the one used by D3 was perceived as inappropriate and did not help students improve their listening and speaking skills. Finally, this study recommends improving the teaching materials to meet students' needs and interests.

Abstract

Many EFL students face difficulties when delivering academic presentations in English due to feelings of anxiety and a lack of confidence. In fact, presentations are an essential part of the learning process that require strong speaking skills. This problem becomes more complex because English is not their first language, and their limited language proficiency often hinders the fluency and effectiveness of their delivery. This study aims to explore the internal and external factors that contribute to speaking anxiety in academic presentation contexts. A qualitative approach with a case study design was used, involving six eighth-semester students from the English Education Study Program at Jambi University, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results revealed four internal factors: lack of grammar mastery, Vocabulary Limitations, incorrect pronunciation, and Lack of Self-Confidence. In addition, three external factors were identified: fear of negative evaluation, Lack of Opportunities to Practice Speaking in English, and Speaking Anxiety Triggered by Specific Lecturers. These findings indicate that speaking anxiety is a complex issue that should be addressed through more supportive teaching approaches, including increasing speaking practice and creating a more positive classroom environment.

Abstract

The re-implementation of English as a compulsory subject at the elementary school (SD) and Madrasah Ibtidayah (MI) levels in the Merdeka Curriculum has caused a debate about its impact on educators and students. This study explores teachers' beliefs regarding this reimplementation and examines both challenges and benefits associated with teaching English at the elementary level. Data were collected using a qualitative approach through interviews with five teachers who are members of the MGMP (Subject Teacher Forum) Rayon 2 under the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Jambi City, Jambi. The findings highlight challenges such as administrative burdens, insufficient training, and resource limitations. However, teaching English early also provides benefits, including better preparation for advanced education and improved linguistic and interpersonal skills. These insights are crucial for policymakers to refine strategies supporting curriculum implementation.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the challenges faced by students in improving their English listening skills for professional contexts and to identify the strategies they use to overcome these challenges. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Eight students who have completed the Listening and Speaking for Professional Purposes course in the English Education Study Program at Jambi University became research participants. Data were collected through semi- structured interviews and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results show that students face linguistic challenges, including high speaking speed, unfamiliar vocabulary, different accents, excessive use of formal language, and professional jargon. In addition, psychological factors such as anxiety, lack of focus, and stress also affect their listening ability. To overcome these challenges, students develop various adaptive strategies such as audio repetition and speed adjustment, recording and translating foreign vocabulary, overcoming excessive formal language, note-taking and keyword highlighting, emotion management, and adaptation to professional jargon. These findings indicate that effective listening and learning depend not only on linguistic aspects but also on students' ability to recognize challenges and develop appropriate strategies.

The research design used is Quasi-Experimental Research. This design involves two groups: one as the control group and one as the experimental group. The data obtained from this research is processed by calculating the gain or difference between the pretest and post-test scores. For time efficiency, data were analyzed using the SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solution) program for Windows version 24. Because of the Asymp value. Sig. (2-tailed) 0.381, which means greater than 0.025, it can be decided that H0 is accepted.
