Abstract

Abstract: The integration of instructional media has become an important part of English teaching in elementary classrooms, particularly in supporting young learners who need engaging, interactive, and meaningful learning experiences. However, understanding how teachers integrate instructional media into daily classroom practices remains important, especially in contexts where teachers utilize various resources to support student learning. This study aims to explore teachers’ practices in integrating instructional media into elementary school teaching and to examine how these practices support students’ learning engagement and classroom participation. A qualitative case study design was employed at SD Negeri 123 OKU, Indonesia. The participants consisted of three elementary school teachers and students involved in the classroom activities. Data were collected through observations, a focus group discussion with the participating teachers, and document analysis of teaching modules. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns related to instructional media integration. The findings revealed that teachers utilized various instructional media, including visual media, audio-visual media, realia, and digital media such as LCD projectors, to support classroom instruction. The findings also indicated that instructional media encouraged students’ active participation through exploration, group activities, discussion, and hands-on learning experiences. However, the study also found that the effectiveness of instructional media depended on the selection of appropriate activities that matched young learners’ characteristics, particularly their need for interaction and movement during learning. This study highlights the importance of purposeful instructional media integration in creating engaging, meaningful, and student-centered learning environments in elementary education. The findings provide practical implications for English teachers in designing learning activities that effectively combine instructional media with appropriate pedagogical strategies.

Abstract

The objective of this Community Service Program is to improve students' reading literacy and digital literacy skills through practical training in the use of online libraries. The program is implemented by delivering material on the importance of reading and digital literacy, practical training in the use of online libraries, including registration, searching, and downloading materials, and students independently practicing the material taught with team support. The method used in this program is a participatory-educational approach. The implementation team not only passively delivers material but also encourages active student interaction and participation through: Interactive Workshop: Using presentations, discussions, and Q&A methods, Hands-on Practice: Providing students with the opportunity to directly experience using the online library using the provided facilities, Intensive Mentoring: Providing personal assistance to any participant experiencing technical difficulties. Based on data analysis from the post-activity questionnaire, the following results were obtained: 95% of participants stated that their understanding of online libraries had significantly improved, 85% of participants felt more confident in searching for digital reference sources, 75% of participants promised to use the online library more often for academic purposes. Qualitative observations during the training showed that all participants were able to follow each stage of the training effectively. They no longer hesitated to ask questions and engage in discussions, indicating that the approach used was effective in building participant confidence.
