Abstract

The low English proficiency among the Indonesian society is partly influenced by the dominance of learning approaches that focus on grammar and vocabulary memorization, thereby limiting students' opportunities to use the language in meaningful communication. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is an approach that emphasizes language use for authentic communication purposes, with information gap activities (IGA) serving as one of the primary techniques to foster classroom interaction. This community service activity aims to enhance the pedagogical competence of pre-service English teachers in designing and implementing CLT-based IGA. The activity was conducted using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, involving students from the English Education Study Programs at Universitas Sari Mulia and Universitas Lambung Mangkurat. The needs analysis results indicated that most participants lacked an adequate understanding of the IGA concept and still tended to employ traditional, teacher-centered learning activities. Through this training, participants gained an understanding of CLT principles and skills in designing communication-oriented activities centered on information exchange. Following the training, participants were capable of developing and practicing various information gap activities, such as Jigsaw Reading, Missing Schedule, and Spot the Differences, integrated into communicative learning scenarios. The questionnaire results demonstrated that this training strengthened the pedagogical competence of pre-service English teachers in designing communicative, interactive, and student-centered learning. Therefore, similar training needs to be conducted sustainably to support the quality improvement of communicative English language learning.

Abstract

This community service training aimed to strengthen senior high school English teachers' competencies in South Kalimantan by integrating local Sasirangan culture, augmented reality (AR) technology, and critical thinking skills into innovative instruction. Teachers had been facing several persistent challenges: reliance on conventional teaching methods, students' low English literacy, underdeveloped critical thinking skills, minimal use of local culture as a learning resource, and limited adoption of educational technologies like AR. To address these issues, the team designed and delivered a training program centered on integrating Sasirangan, AR, and critical thinking into grade XII English instruction. The program engaged 15 participants: 6 core workshop attendees, 7 community service team members, and 2 teaching assistants. Implementation followed seven stages, namely situational analysis, problem identification, goal setting, solution planning, social approach, activity implementation, and evaluation. During implementation, the team administered a pre-test, presented instructional content, led discussions and Q&A sessions, guided participants in designing learning activities, demonstrated the SasiVision AR application, and conducted a post-test to measure outcomes. Results demonstrated clear gains across three key indicators. Teachers showed a 50% increase in understanding and readiness to use Sasirangan as a contextual learning resource, a 40.7% increase in applying Android-based AR technology in English lessons, and a 14.1% increase in their ability to design activities that foster students' critical thinking. These findings indicate that the training successfully equipped teachers to integrate Sasirangan fabric as a meaningful, contextual resource in English language teaching, supported by the SasiVision AR application, offering a promising model for culturally grounded, technology-enhanced language instruction.

Abstract

Kemampuan membaca dalam bahasa Inggris merupakan salah satu kompetensi penting yang perlu dikuasai siswa sekolah menengah atas, terutama dalam menghadapi tuntutan literasi dan asesmen yang menekankan kemampuan memahami, menganalisis, menginterpretasi, dan mengevaluasi teks. Hasil Tes Kemampuan Akademik (TKA) Bahasa Inggris tahun 2025 menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan siswa dalam memahami bacaan masih menghadapi berbagai tantangan, khususnya pada kemampuan inferensial dan evaluatif. Kondisi tersebut juga menjadi perhatian di SMAN 1 Gambut, terutama karena jumlah siswa yang cukup besar tidak sebanding dengan jumlah guru Bahasa Inggris yang tersedia. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan kapasitas guru dalam memanfaatkan audiobook YouTube yang diintegrasikan dengan pendekatan Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) untuk mendukung pembelajaran reading comprehension. Pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan melalui tahap sosialisasi dan analisis kebutuhan, pelatihan, penerapan teknologi, pendampingan dan evaluasi, serta pengembangan keberlanjutan program. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan audiobook yang dipadukan dengan siklus SRL dapat menjadi alternatif pembelajaran yang mengintegrasikan keterampilan membaca dan mendengarkan sekaligus mendorong siswa melakukan perencanaan, pemantauan, dan refleksi terhadap proses belajarnya. Program juga menghasilkan rancangan pembelajaran berbasis audiobook, template reading log berbasis SRL, serta instrumen refleksi siswa yang dapat dimanfaatkan guru dalam pembelajaran. Dengan demikian, pemanfaatan sumber belajar digital secara terarah dan strategi SRL berpotensi memperkuat pembelajaran reading comprehension yang lebih mandiri, terstruktur, dan kontekstual
