Abstract

This research analyzes idiomatic expressions in the voice lines of heroes in the video game Dota 2, using Charles Hockett's theory. This research highlights the potential of video games as an effective tool for language learning, offering native English speakers an authentic context to understand and internalize idiomatic expressions. Through qualitative analysis, 50 idiomatic expressions were identified and classified into six categories: Substitutes, Proper Names, Abbreviations, English Phrase Compounds, Allusions, and Slang. Specifically, Substitutes accounted for 8 idioms, Proper Names for 12 idioms, English Phrasal Compounds for 7 idioms, Figures of Speech for 14 idioms, and Slang for 9 idioms, with no examples of Abbreviations. Each idiom's contextual meaning is analyzed, thus contributing to a deeper understanding of their function in the game. The insights gained create an equivalence between digital games and language education, providing valuable implications for gamers and educators or learners in utilising video games for language development.

Abstract

This community service activity was carried out at Ban Loei Wangsai School in Thailand, aiming to identify the role of Indonesian internship students in assisting with the implementation of the English Camp and to improve students’ English communication skills in speaking and listening. This activity employed a descriptive, participatory approach with stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed an improvement in students’ English skills after participating in the English Camp. Students became more active, confident, and capable of using English in simple communication. Furthermore, the involvement of Indonesian internship students created an interactive, enjoyable, and meaningful learning atmosphere. This activity also strengthened educational collaboration between Indonesia and Thailand and served as a practical implementation of the university’s Tri Dharma in international community service. Therefore, the English Camp proved effective as a learning strategy for enhancing students’ English communication skills.
