Abstract

The present study attempted to find out students’ perception and challenges in learning speaking through WhatsApp which was designed with quantitative-descriptive approach in the form of online survey study. The survey was distributed to 51 EFL students at State Islamic University of Mataram. The students’ responses were coded and displayed descriptively into two main themes: students’ perception and students’ challenges. It was found that most of the students, 33 students or 64.7%, perceived WhatsApp as an effective learning platform because it could improve their speaking skill due to its usefulness and ease of use. However, there were 10 students or 19.6% of the students who claimed that WhatsApp was not an effective tool because it was not equipped with more practical features. The students also found it difficult to understand teachers’ explanation through WhatsApp. Another perception is neutral because the students believed that WhatsApp had both advantages and drawbacks. There were 8 students or 15.7% of them perceiving this. Even though the majority of the students showed positive attitude toward WhatsApp-based learning, they agreed to say that they experienced technical, practical and mental challenges during the learning. These challenges need to be anticipated by the teachers and students toward an effective online learning through WhatsApp. Keywords : WhatsApp classroom, technical problems, practical problems, mental problems

Abstract

[Bahasa]: Saat ini Bahasa Inggris tidak menjadi pelajaran wajib di level sekolah dasar melainkan hanya sebagai salah satu mata pelajaran muatan lokal. Sedangkan pada kenyataannya kebanyakan sekolah dasar di Kota Praya tidak memberikan Bahasa Inggris sebagai mata pelajaran muatan lokal. Faktor ekonomi dan latar belakang pendidikan kelurga yang tidak dapat mendukung pelajaran tambahan berupa kursus belajar Bahasa Inggris juga menjadi faktor penghambat rendahnya kemampuan Bahasa Inggris dasar siswa. Hal ini semakin memperkuat stereotype bahwa Bahasa Inggris itu sulit dipahami dan dipelajari. Pembatasan pembelajaran selama Pandemi COVID 19 semakin melemahkan minat siswa untuk mengenal dan belajar Bahasa Inggris dari awal. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan pengabdian dengan metode Asset Based Communities Development (ABCD) ini ditujukan untuk memberikan pengenalan pembelajaran bahasa Inggris dasar untuk anak-anak selama masa pandemi. Kegiatan pengabdian berupa program pengenalan materi bahasa Inggris dasar dengan peserta 13 anak. Materi yang disampaikan berupa Introducing, Alphabet, Numbers, Days, Things in classroom, Family, Asking permission, dan Giving expressions. Hasil pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman awal Bahasa Inggris dasar anak-anak. Pemahaman awal yang baik terhadap Bahasa Inggris dasar akan menunjang kemampuan anak-anak ketika berkomunikasi menggunakan Bahasa Inggris sederhana dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.
