Abstract

English language learning for students often faces challenges in the form of less attractive and monotonous teaching methods, leading to low interest and motivation to learn. The community service activity, "Learning English Through Games and Fun Activities" at SD Negeri 2 Kabila Bone aimed to create an interactive and enjoyable learning environment through the "learning while playing" approach. The implementation method involved games, interactive activities, and demonstrations to increase students' active participation in practicing English language skills. The results showed a significant increase in students' enthusiasm, motivation, and English language abilities, in line with theories on the benefits of games in language learning. Positive impacts were seen in academic and non-academic aspects such as self-confidence. Teachers and school authorities appreciated this approach as an innovation in facing the challenges of English language learning in the globalization era. The output obtained is a plan for the sustainability of similar programs by expanding the scope, developing materials, and increasing collaboration to make a greater contribution to improving the quality of education and English language proficiency.

Abstract

This community service aims to improve the English vocabulary mastery of elementary school students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Muhammadiyah (MIM) in Gorontalo City through the use of pictorial dictionaries. The implementation method consists of several stages, including needs analysis, pictorial dictionary compilation, implementation in learning, and evaluation. The results of this service show a significant increase in students' vocabulary mastery after using the pictorial dictionary. Observations and interviews with teachers also show an increase in students' motivation and enthusiasm in learning. This success is due to the use of images that help students understand vocabulary in a meaningful context and active student involvement in learning. The impact of this service is not only limited to increasing vocabulary mastery but also in developing innovative learning media. The compiled pictorial dictionary can become a reference for other schools, and the methods used can inspire improving the quality of English language education and other fields.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the levels of listening anxiety experienced by fourth-semester students from the 2023 cohort of the English Language Education Study Program at the Faculty of Letters and Culture, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. The primary focus of this research is to classify students' listening anxiety into three categories: low, moderate, and high, particularly in academic listening contexts. Listening skills are crucial in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, especially at the university level, but research addressing listening anxiety at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo remains limited. This study stands out as the first to examine listening anxiety within the 2023 cohort, thus offering valuable insights to fill the existing research gap. The study applies a descriptive quantitative approach using a survey method. The research instrument used is a 33-item questionnaire adapted from the Foreign Language Listening Anxiety Scale (FLLAS) developed by Kim (2000), rated on a five-point Likert scale. The total population consisted of 131 students, with 110 students completing the questionnaire and included in the final sample. Data were collected online via Google Forms to facilitate distribution and participation. The analysis employed descriptive statistical techniques to calculate frequencies and percentages for each anxiety category. The results indicate that most students fall into the moderate to high anxiety categories. These findings offer a comprehensive understanding of listening anxiety among EFL students at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo and are expected to serve as a reference for future research while aiding lecturers in recognizing students’ affective conditions in English language learning.
