Abstract

Background: Pesatnya perkembangan teknologi dan modernisasi dalam beberapa dekade terakhir telah menyebabkan pergeseran pola hiburan di kalangan anak-anak dan remaja. Permainan digital dengan grafis canggih dan fitur interaktif telah mendominasi perhatian generasi muda, sehingga permainan tradisional mulai terpinggirkan. Ancaman terhadap kelestarian permainan tradisional ini tidak hanya mengkhawatirkan dari sisi budaya, tetapi juga berdampak pada hilangnya nilai-nilai sosial yang terkandung di dalamnya. Kegiatan ini bertujuan menghidupkan kembali permainan tradisional sebagai upaya melestarikan warisan budaya dan memperkuat nilai sosial di masyarakat desa. Permainan tradisional Gobak Sodor, Benthik, Boi-boian, Bentengan, dan Gangsing tidak hanya menjadi hiburan tetapi juga sarana pembelajaran nilai-nilai kebersamaan, kerja sama, kejujuran, dan kreativitas. Metode: Langkah kegiatan meliputi sosialisasi, pelatihan, pembuatan alat, penyelenggaraan perlombaan, dokumentasi, dan evaluasi. Setiap tahap dirancang untuk melibatkan masyarakat lokal secara aktif, terutama generasi muda, dalam memahami dan mempraktikkan nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam permainan tradisional. Hasil: Kegiatan ini berhasil menghidupkan kembali permainan tradisional di desa dengan melibatkan berbagai kelompok masyarakat. Permainan seperti Gobak Sodor (Chasing Game), Bentengan (Fortress Game), dan Gasing (Spinning Tops) menjadi media edukasi sosial yang efektif. Dokumentasi menunjukkan bahwa partisipasi aktif masyarakat meningkat, solidaritas sosial terbangun, dan kebanggaan terhadap budaya lokal semakin tinggi

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of technology has brought about a shift in teaching methods, notably with the rise of remote speaking tasks, utilizing digital platforms to enrich language learning experiences for English learners. In the context of language education, proficiency in English is increasingly recognized as a vital skill for academic, professional, and social success in today's interconnected world. Previous researchers have extensively explored various aspects of language learning, with a predominant focus on conventional classroom-based activities. However, there has been limited investigation into the potential benefits of remote speaking tasks specifically in enhancing understanding, proficiency, and confidence among English learners. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of remote speaking tasks on English learners' understanding, proficiency, and confidence. The study used open-ended surveys with 19 English students at Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Sunan Giri, employing NVivo 12 to examine attitudes towards remote speaking tasks and achieving data saturation with this sample size. The findings emphasize the transformative impact of integrating remote speaking tasks and video creation in language learning, highlighting their significant benefits in enhancing comprehension, retention, critical skills, and English proficiency. The practical implications underscore the need for educators to adapt instructional methods by designing engaging activities, such as collaborative projects and creative language assignments, using platforms like VoiceThread and TikTok. These specific actions for educators aim to foster active learning, enhance students' speaking skills, confidence, adaptability, and fluency in real-life situations, while also developing essential 21st-century skills for academic and professional success.

Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of the Peer Teaching Method (PTM) in improving public speaking skills among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in a tertiary education setting. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis methods. The research involved 25 EFL learners who participated in a peer teaching intervention, which was evaluated through pre- and post-intervention speaking assessments and in-depth interviews. The results showed significant improvements in pronunciation accuracy, vocabulary usage, fluency, and confidence levels and lowering the public speaking anxiety among the participants. The qualitative findings highlighted the supportive and collaborative nature of the peer teaching environment, which fostered a sense of shared responsibility for learning, reduced anxiety, and promoted confidence in public speaking. The research 's findings contribute to the growing body of literature on collaborative learning methods in language education, suggesting that the Peer Teaching Method is a valuable approach for enhancing public speaking skills and promoting psychological readiness among EFL learners.

Digital transformation in education requires teachers to continuously enhance their professionalism, particularly in utilizing advanced technologies such as the metaverse. However, not all teachers possess the capacity and readiness to develop learning materials based on such technologies. This community service program aims to improve the professionalism of teachers at SMK Islamic Qon through training in developing metaverse-based teaching materials, in support of achieving Asta Cita 4, namely the development of human resources and gender equality. The method used is the ABCD (Asset-Based Community Development) approach, implemented in five stages: socialization, training, mentoring, evaluation, and follow-up. The results of the program indicate a significant increase in teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to the development of metaverse-based teaching materials, with success indicators reflected in the achievement of targeted competencies during training evaluations. Furthermore, teachers demonstrated increased creativity and motivation in designing more immersive and engaging learning experiences for students. In conclusion, this training program has made a tangible contribution to strengthening teacher capacity and encouraging the integration of technology into vocational education at the secondary level.

Abstract

Reading Comprehension is the skill or ability to comprehend what is read. When reading, students sometimes have difficulty understanding what the author is conveying from a text that has been prepared. Through this ability, a person can understand what the author means, then construct their own meaning and understanding of the reading. For example, someone reading an article online about the health benefits of drinking coconut water. In the article, the reader encounters several difficult-to-understand texts. This could be new vocabulary or the meaning behind the text. Through reading comprehension, the reader can gradually understand it well and rewrite the article according to their understanding. As previously mentioned.
