Abstract

ABSTRAK                                                                                     Merokok seringkali dipersepsikan sebagai perilaku yang merepresentasikan maskulinitas khususnya di kalangan pria. Persepsi tersebut masih banyak ditemukan pada remaja masa kini, yang memandang merokok sebagai simbol kedewasaan dan identitas maskulin. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan kesadaran remaja terhadap bahaya merokok serta menghapus imaji positif merokok yang kerap dikaitkan dengan citra maskulinitas. Selain itu, kegiatan ini juga mengembangkan keterampilan komunikasi asertif melalui pembelajaran ungkapan bahasa Inggris untuk menolak ajakan merokok. Metode yang digunakan adalah Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), yang menekankan kolaborasi aktif antara peneliti, fasilitator, dan peserta dalam setiap tahapan kegiatan. Sebanyak 19 remaja masjid dari Mesjid Jami’ Al-Muttaqin, Cempaka Putih, Jakarta Pusat, ikut berpartisipasi dalam rangkaian kegiatan pengabdian berupa ceramah interaktif, diskusi, dan simulasi percakapan. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi dan kuesioner kepuasan peserta. Hasil menunjukkan respon sangat positif; mayoritas peserta menyatakan puas hingga sangat puas terhadap materi, narasumber, dan sarana kegiatan. Seluruh peserta (100%) berminat mengikuti kegiatan serupa dan menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman tentang bahaya merokok serta kemampuan menolak ajakan merokok secara asertif dalam bahasa Inggris. Kegiatan ini juga mengubah persepsi peserta terhadap citra merokok, dari perilaku yang dianggap simbol maskulinitas menjadi kebiasaan yang merugikan kesehatan. Integrasi edukasi kesehatan dan komunikasi asertif terbukti membantu mendorong perilaku sehat dan menghapus imaji positif merokok pada remaja.Kata kunci: Penelitian Berbasis Masyarakat; Pengabdian Masyarakat; Perilaku Merokok; Komunikasi Asertif. ABSTRACTSmoking is commonly viewed as a masculine practice, particularly among men. This attitude persists among today's youth, who see smoking as a sign of maturity and masculine identity. This community service activity attempts to enhance adolescent understanding of the dangers of smoking while also dispelling the favorable image of smoking that is frequently connected with masculinity. This activity also improves assertive communication skills by teaching English terms for declining requests to smoke. The method employed is Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), which emphasizes active collaboration among researchers, facilitators, and participants throughout the process. A total of 19 mosque youth from Masjid Jami’ Al-Muttaqin, Cempaka Putih, Central Jakarta, participated in a series of community service activities, including interactive lectures, discussions, and conversation simulations. Data were collected through observation and participant satisfaction questionnaires. The results showed a very positive response; the majority of participants expressed satisfaction to very satisfaction with the material, speakers, and activity facilities. All participants (100%) expressed interest in participating in similar activities and demonstrated an increased understanding of the dangers of smoking and the ability to refuse invitations to smoke assertively in English. This activity also changed participants' perceptions of smoking, from a behavior perceived as a symbol of masculinity to a habit detrimental to health. The integration of health education and assertive communication has been found to help encourage healthy behaviors and dispel unfavorable attitudes toward smoking among adolescents. Keywords: Community-Based Research; Community Service; Smoking Behavior; Assertive Communication.

Abstract

The present research aims to investigate the practice of real-time or synchronous written corrective feedback (SWCF) delivery via Google Docs as a platform to deliver feedback, known as a linguistic feedback tool (LiFT) in ESP (English for Specific Purposes) classes, students’ preferences and viewpoints of SWCF. The research employed a qualitative case study involving 15 students from an advanced English correspondence course in a non-English department of a private university in Depok, West Java, Indonesia. Open-ended questionnaires, document analysis, and semi-structured interviews were used to gather the data. The findings revealed that auto-generated and human feedback are used to deliver SWCF via Google Docs, inferring that those features can build students' awareness of language aspects, content, and context in composing professional documents. Direct feedback was delivered more frequently, regarding the learning time efficiency and the students’ ability to identify errors. Further, the students preferred frequent SWCF, direct and indirect feedback, and correcting delivery methods. Finally, they considered that SWCF delivered via Google Docs assists them in improving letter accuracy. Their preferences and viewpoints might allow the lecturer to choose appropriate feedback delivery strategies and material reinforcement. The present research implies a balanced use of auto-generated and human feedback from LiFT in SWCF delivery. Evaluating the effectiveness of SWCF delivery via Google Docs for different levels of achievers in ESP classes might be a potential area of future research. Other LiFTs’ infusion into ESP classes is also worth researching to provide language instructors with alternative applications for SWCF delivery.

Abstract

This study investigates how Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is implemented at English First Pajajaran Bogor and evaluates its effectiveness in improving students’ communicative competence through classroom observations and teacher interviews. CLT is a widely recognized approach in language education that emphasizes real-life communication, interactive activities, and student-centered learning. The primary goal of CLT is to enhance learners’ ability to effectively communicate in real-life scenarios, fostering practical language skills rather than merely focusing on theoretical knowledge. The research aims to analyze how CLT is applied in English First Pajajaran Bogor, assess its effectiveness in enhancing students’ speaking, listening, and overall communication skills, and identify the challenges faced by both teachers and learners in its implementation. Using a qualitative research approach and a deductive method, the study collects data through classroom observations and interviews with teachers. The results indicate that CLT procedures, such as group discussions, games, dialogues, repetition, and question-and-answer sessions, positively impact students’ language proficiency, particularly in speaking and listening. These activities foster an interactive and engaging learning environment that encourages active student participation. However, these methods' success depends on adjusting teaching strategies to fit the students' specific needs and the limitations of the classroom environment, such as time constraints and available resources. Despite these challenges, the findings suggest that CLT significantly contributes to the development of students’ communicative competence when effectively implemented.
