Abstract

This community service program focused on assisting SD Aisyiyah Kota Malang to play a virtual drama entitled ‘The Tale of Wendit' as the material staging the local folktale of Malang in effort to accomplish an international collaboration with Dajeong School Korea.  The community service was carried out by sharing session about virtual drama performance, casting, rehearsals, videotaping, video launching, and virtual drama performance to teachers and students of Dajeong Primary School, Korea. Every session provided both English for Young Learners’ teachers and students opportunities to practice their reading and speaking for the performance. Besides, they also learned how to deal with digital platforms used for the rehearsal and virtual performance. The findings revealed that it was possible for teachers and students to include literature in English for Young Learners (EYL) learning in this digital era. During this pandemic, virtual drama performance can be carried out in primary school which has similar characteristics with the school where the community service was conducted.

Abstract

English is an elective subject at Indonesian primary schools and every school is allowed to offer English for providing young learners (YLs) opportunity to practice English for communication in global society. Moreover, English is introduced earlier in primary education as an extra-curricular activity as well as a locally-tailored school subject. This community service program aims at facilitating the sixth graders with extended activities to support the English for Young Learners (EYL) program that they have attended for six years and preparing them with initial experience before enrolling in English a compulsory subject class in lower secondary education. Ar-Rohmah English Week was conducted for 60 minutes within four working days with activities to enhance the YLs’ English listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Four activities were selected based on the learners’ needs within meaningful activities such as Virtual Tour to the USA, Reading Theater, Students’ Activities Journaling which infuses Islamic content, and Act Out and Presentation. All of those activities were also designed by addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (UN SDGs 2030) number 4 on quality education. With their English proficiency, all students are expected to be able to compete in mastering various knowledge in facing global challenges in the future.
