Abstract

Realizing the importance of English in this modern era, the community service team has developed a learning program in a practical and interesting way that in learning English. Working with religious institutions was one of the methods to support government programs. The program was held in Letbaun Village, Semau District in Kupang Regency. The problem for most Sunday school children in this area was their lack of interest in learning English and limited access to telecommunication networks, so they were more guided by manual learning resources or textbooks. The underlying thing was the lack of vocabulary and grammar in English. The team conducted practical, creative, and fun English learning materials and videos to attract interest in learning English. The book was equipped with pictures and vocabulary relating to general English materials such as greetings, self-introduction, parts of the body, and names of days and months, also provided some Bible-themed materials (God’s creation, the ten plagues in Egypt, the Lord's Prayer in English, the name of the books in English). The book was provided with the aims, directions for Sunday School Teachers, and exercises. There were still several things that have not been achieved such as evaluation of learning outcomes.

Abstract

This research is conducted to answer how compounds in the dialect are formed. At the end of this research, it shows some educational implications. The research method used was descriptive qualitative in which data collection methods used were observations, interviews, and documentary studies. The informants interviewed were native speakers from Ngeri village and the documents studied have been taken from some textbooks written in Central Manggarai dialect. It was found that there are seven kinds of compounds in Central Manggarai Dialect formed by combining two words with different meanings and different classes, namely: 1) noun and noun compounding; 2) noun and adjective compounding; 3) noun and verb compounding; 4) noun and adverb compounding; 5) verb and noun compounding; and, 6) verb and adjective compounding; and, 7) adjective and noun compounding. For Manggaraian children learning such languages as Indonesian and English, it is important that when teaching those languages, their teachers teach those forms of compounding and their meanings by comparing how they are formed in Manggarai language to how they are formed in such languages as Indonesian and English and by explicitly teaching what their meanings are. By relying on their understanding of such forms and meanings of compounding in Manggarai language, it is hoped that they can understand how such forms of compounding are also formed in other languages.
