Abstract

Continuous improvement of instructional competency among in-service English teachers constitutes a strategic imperative in advancing the caliber of language education at the secondary level. Grounded in a community service research framework, this study investigates the delivery and outcomes of a structured vocabulary teaching training program organized through the MGMP network for Senior High School English teachers in the city of Pekanbaru, Riau Province. The training was conducted on Saturday, 6 June 2026, at SMA Negeri 8 Pekanbaru. The overarching goal was to examine whether participation in this training produced measurable gains in teachers' capacity to implement vocabulary instruction that supports the development and assessment of students' oral communicative performance. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was employed, engaging 32 teachers drawn from various Senior High Schools across the city of Pekanbaru. Multiple data sources were utilized, comprising a validated knowledge assessment instrument (Cronbach's α = 0.87), structured classroom observation checklists, and individual semi-structured interviews. Statistical analysis revealed a substantial mean improvement of 23.38 points between pre- and post-training assessments (t(31) = 14.67, p 0.001; Cohen's d = 1.94). Observational records indicated that the majority of participants (87.5%) successfully transitioned from isolated vocabulary drills toward the integration of lexical learning within task-based oral communication activities. Thematic patterns extracted from interview responses highlighted three salient dimensions of professional growth: heightened instructional self-efficacy, expanded assessment design capability, and greater congruence between training content and pedagogical practice. These results underscore the value of institutionalizing vocabulary-focused pedagogical training within MGMP structures as an enduring mechanism for elevating English language teacher professionalism in the regional context.

Abstract

Kemampuan berbicara (speaking skill) dalam Bahasa Inggris sangat dipengaruhi oleh penguasaan kosakata (vocabulary) peserta didik, sebab keterbatasan kosakata sering menjadi penyebab utama siswa kesulitan mengungkapkan gagasan secara lisan. Persoalan yang ditemukan pada sejumlah guru Bahasa Inggris jenjang Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) di Provinsi Riau adalah belum beragamnya teknik pengajaran kosakata yang digunakan di kelas, ditambah lemahnya kemampuan guru dalam menyusun instrumen penilaian (asesmen) keterampilan berbicara yang terukur dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan secara akademik. Menyikapi kondisi tersebut, tim pelaksana merancang program pengabdian masyarakat berupa pendampingan dan pelatihan pengajaran kosakata bagi guru-guru yang tergabung dalam Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran (MGMP) Bahasa Inggris jenjang SMA, dengan harapan dapat memperkuat kualitas asesmen keterampilan berbicara siswa. Program ini diselenggarakan pada Sabtu, 6 Juni 2026, berlokasi di SMA Negeri 8 Pekanbaru, dan dihadiri oleh para guru Bahasa Inggris SMA dari wilayah Kota Pekanbaru. Pelaksanaannya mengikuti empat rangkaian kegiatan, yaitu penjajakan kebutuhan peserta, pemaparan konsep melalui ceramah dan tanya jawab, praktik langsung (workshop) merancang teknik pengajaran kosakata sekaligus rubrik penilaian berbicara, serta pengukuran hasil belajar melalui pre-test dan post-test. Setelah kegiatan berlangsung, terlihat peningkatan capaian peserta baik dalam memahami cara mengajarkan kosakata secara kontekstual maupun dalam menyusun instrumen penilaian keterampilan berbicara, sebagaimana tergambar dari skor post-test yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan skor pre-test, dan didukung pula oleh tanggapan positif para peserta. Program semacam ini diharapkan dapat dijadikan model pendampingan berkelanjutan bagi forum MGMP Bahasa Inggris guna mendorong perbaikan mutu pembelajaran dan penilaian keterampilan berbicara siswa SMA di wilayah Riau.

Abstract

English language learning in elementary school requires engaging and contextual media to support children’s vocabulary development. This study examined the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) integrated with the animated series Bluey in English vocabulary learning among sixth-grade students at SD IT Imam Syafi’i Cendekia 2 Pekanbaru. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest model was employed with 26 sixth-grade students selected purposively because they were the class receiving the AI-supported Bluey-based English instruction. During the treatment, students watched selected episodes of Bluey, engaged with English vocabulary presented through the animated content, and used AI-supported activities to reinforce vocabulary learning through guided practice and feedback. Vocabulary tests were administered before and after the treatment. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test with SPSS. The results showed an increase in the mean vocabulary score from 62.88 (SD = 18.23) in the pretest to 80.57 (SD = 11.60) in the posttest. The paired-samples t-test showed a statistically significant difference between the two scores, t(25) = 7.723, p .001. These findings indicate that the AI-supported use of Bluey was associated with a significant improvement in students’ English vocabulary scores. The findings suggest that integrating animated audiovisual content with AI-supported learning activities can provide an engaging supplementary approach to elementary English instruction when implemented with appropriate teacher guidance.

Abstract

This community service program aims to enhance the quality of English language learning in Islamic-based schools through the application of artificial intelligence (AI)–driven learning technology using the Duolingo platform. The partner institution, SD IT Imam Syafii Cendekia Pekanbaru, faces challenges in students’ low learning motivation and teachers’ limited capacity to integrate technology into their instructional practices. The program was implemented over two months, from July to September 2025, involving 70 participants consisting of teachers, student assistants, and fourth to sixth-grade pupils. The implementation method included teacher training based on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, classroom integration of Duolingo through a gamification approach, and intensive mentoring for students. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and pre- and post-tests to measure students’ improvement in English proficiency. The results revealed a significant increase in students’ average scores, from 54.5 to 81.3 (a 49.2% improvement), along with higher motivation and engagement levels. About 92% of students reported that Duolingo-based learning was more engaging and easier to understand, while teachers demonstrated improved digital competence and creativity in instruction.

Abstract

This research investigated the effects of Bluey cartoon integration on primary school students' oral communication and aural comprehension competencies, as well as their perceptions of Bluey cartoon based pedagogical approaches in English language instruction in SD IT Imam Syafei’ Pekanbaru. An experimental methodology was adopted for data collection purposes. The participant pool comprised 19 fourth-grade students allocated into control and experimental cohorts. The control cohort received conventional English instruction, whereas the experimental cohort engaged with comparable curricular content supplemented with cartoon-based activities targeting oral and aural skill development over a six-week intervention period. Pre-intervention and post-intervention assessments were administered to both cohorts to evaluate their speaking and listening proficiencies. Furthermore, a questionnaire was distributed to the experimental cohort to ascertain their perceptions regarding the pedagogical utilization of Bluey cartoons. Results indicated that students in the experimental cohort demonstrated statistically significant improvements in English speaking and listening competencies relative to their counterparts in the control cohort. Additionally, experimental cohort participants exhibited favorable attitudes toward cartoon integration in English language instruction. These findings hold pedagogical implications for English language educators in SD IT Imam Syafei ‘ Pekanbaru and comparable contexts where English functions as a foreign language, suggesting the incorporation of visual instructional materials to facilitate young learners' linguistic development.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of Duolingo, an AI-enhanced mobile learning platform, on English language learning outcomes among sixth-grade students at Sekolah Dasar Islam Terpadu (SDIT) Imam Syafii Cendikia, Pekanbaru. Despite the growing integration of digital technologies in Indonesian secondary and higher education, the application of AI-based platforms in Islamic elementary schools remains limited. This research addresses this gap by examining how adaptive, gamified learning tools can enhance linguistic achievement while maintaining alignment with Islamic educational values. A one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was employed with 30 participants over six weeks. Results indicated significant improvement in English proficiency, with mean scores increasing from 62.47 (SD = 10.42) to 81.63 (SD = 7.91), yielding a large effect size (Cohen's d = 0.88). Questionnaire data revealed highly positive student perceptions (M = 4.36, SD = 0.52) regarding motivation, usability, and attitudes toward AI-based learning. Classroom observations confirmed high engagement levels (M = 4.32) across attention, participation, and collaborative behavior. The findings suggest that AI-driven adaptive learning platforms can effectively personalize instruction, reduce achievement gaps, and foster intrinsic motivation in mixed-ability classrooms when culturally contextualized within faith-based pedagogy. This study contributes empirical evidence supporting the integration of AI-assisted language learning in Indonesian Islamic elementary education.
