Community Learning Center is a non-governmental organization formed by and for the community that is engaged in learning and is located at the village or sub-district level. To equal education, PKBM has a strategic function to serve all school-age children or people who want to go to school but are unable to attend school. Like others, PKBM Katimpun has also carried out its function to serve and provide education for the surrounding community. The presence of PKBM is a forum for carrying out various educational activities that are equivalent to formal schools in general. The problems faced by PKBM Katimpun are the need to increase expertise in the field of technology and information so that students can compete in the work field later. In addition, students also need to improve their academic abilities. In this case, English lessons are one of the subjects that contribute to the development of skills for students in their future work. Therefore, we took the initiative to combine these two targets into one training material which is expected to improve skills in IT as well as the ability to learn and write English texts. This community service activity is intended to provide training to PKBM Katimpun students through two materials, namely the use of the Canva application and learning to write procedure texts in English.

This community service program was implemented with the main objective of improving children’s literacy and English vocabulary skills while promoting anti-bullying values at El-Ministry Orphanage in Palangka Raya. The program was designed as a collaborative effort between the implementation team and the orphanage to address the limited educational resources, particularly in foreign language learning and character development. The program was conducted in two sessions consisting of three main activities: (1) English literacy practice, (2) socialization and education on anti-bullying values, and (3) creative content production based on vocabulary learning. During the literacy and socialization sessions, children were encouraged to participate actively through discussions, storytelling, role-play, and interactive quizzes that combined learning with entertainment. The creative content activity focused on vocabulary memorization and enrichment using a gamification approach, allowing children to learn through play and healthy competition. The results indicate a noticeable improvement in children’s ability to recognize and use basic English vocabulary, along with increased awareness of empathy, tolerance, and anti-bullying values. Overall, this initiative generated positive educational and social impacts, emphasizing the importance of community service programs that integrate literacy enhancement and character education to support children’s growth and development in orphanage environments.

This study explores students’ perceptions of the role of Character.AI in developing speaking skills and supporting adaptive communicative practice. Most existing studies on AI in language learning primarily focus on tools that rely on structured or predefined prompts, which tend to be monotonous and less effective in fostering adaptive speaking development. However, limited attention has been given to more interactive, persona-driven AI platforms that can simulate real-life communication. To address this gap, this study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach involving five (5) eighth-semester students of the English Education Study Program who had experience using Character.AI for speaking practice. Data were collected through triangulation methods, including questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, and analysed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that Character.AI contributes to the development of speaking skills, including improvements in fluency, confidence, motivation, vocabulary, willingness to speak, as well as a reduction in speaking anxiety. It also facilitates adaptive communicative practice by promoting adaptability, flexibility and accessibility in speaking activities. However, some limitations were identified, particularly in generating occasionally unnatural responses, indicating that it cannot fully replace authentic human interaction. Therefore, Character.AI is best utilized as a supplementary tool to support students in preparing for real-life communication.

This study investigated EFL students’ perceptions of local wisdom-based creative writing through narrative story projects. Using a descriptive qualitative design, the study involved 22 undergraduate students from the English Education Study Program at Universitas Palangka Raya who had completed a local story project in a creative writing course. Data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Questionnaire responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while interview data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed two major themes: perceived benefits and challenges. Students perceived local wisdom-based creative writing as beneficial for developing creativity, increasing enjoyment, providing freedom and creative space, supporting motivation, and reducing writing anxiety. Local stories helped students generate ideas, express personal experiences, and integrate cultural knowledge into narrative texts. However, students also encountered challenges, including limited imagination, low motivation, lack of self-confidence, and concerns about grammar and language accuracy. The study suggests that local story projects can provide meaningful and culturally relevant writing experiences for EFL learners, but students still need structured guidance, linguistic support, and encouragement to balance creativity, confidence, and language accuracy.

Creative writing plays a crucial role in developing students’ creativity and writing skills. However, many students still encounter difficulties in generating ideas and expressing them effectively due to the lack of culturally relevant and contextualized learning materials. This study aims to investigate the implementation of creative writing integrated with local wisdom in generating creative products and improving students’ writing skills. This study employed a qualitative approach using a phenomenological design to explore students’ experiences and perceptions. The participants consisted of 18 students who completed a questionnaire and five students who participated in semi-structured interviews selected through purposive sampling. All participants were students of the English Education Study Program at Universitas Palangka Raya, specifically from the batch of 2022 in Class A, who had participated in a creative writing course and produced writing products. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis, with method triangulation applied to ensure the credibility and trustworthiness of the findings. The findings reveal that the integration of local wisdom provides meaningful and familiar contexts that support students in generating ideas, organizing their writing, and expressing their thoughts more authentically. In addition, students demonstrated positive perceptions, including increased confidence, emotional engagement, and satisfaction with their writing. Importantly, the study found that creative writing based on local wisdom not only enhances students’ creativity and writing skills but also enables them to produce creative writing products, such as short stories and culturally grounded texts, which reflect their personal experiences and cultural identity and have the potential to contribute to the preservation of local culture for future generations. However, several challenges were identified, including difficulties in language use, coherence, and cultural representation.

This study explores the structure and function of noun phrases (NPs) in English essays written by undergraduate EFL students at Universitas Palangka Raya. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, it analyzed 78 essays to identify and classify types and frequencies of noun phrase modifiers based on Biber et al.’s (2021) syntactic framework. The findings revealed that students predominantly used premodified noun phrases (85%), with determiners and adjectives as the most frequent modifiers, while postmodified noun phrases (15%) were less common and mostly realized through prepositional phrases. More complex postmodifiers, such as adjectives, participle clauses, infinitive clauses, adverbs, and appositives appeared infrequently, indicating limited syntactic variety. The dominance of simpler noun phrase structures suggests that students demonstrate intermediate syntactic competence, emphasizing clarity and economy in expression. These tendencies are attributed to pedagogical focus on basic grammar and first-language influence, particularly from Bahasa Indonesia. The study recommends enhancing grammar instruction by integrating activities that promote the use of complex noun phrase constructions in academic writing.
