Abstract

Introducing English to early childhood learners requires engaging and age-appropriate learning activities that can stimulate their interest and active participation. At an early stage of language learning, children need opportunities to listen to, recognize, imitate, and produce English sounds through meaningful and enjoyable activities. Rhymes and chants can serve as creative learning media because they combine sound patterns, rhythm, repetition, and verbal interaction, which are suitable for young learners. This community service program, entitled “Applying Rhymes and Chants as Creative Media for Introducing English Sounds to Early Childhood Learners,” was conducted at SDN 91 Kota Gorontalo. The program aimed to introduce basic English sounds and simple vocabulary through enjoyable activities using rhymes and chants. The implementation consisted of several stages, including initial observation, preparation of learning materials, implementation of rhymes and chants-based activities, and evaluation. During the activities, the children listened to and repeated English words and expressions, practiced selected sounds, and participated in rhythmic activities accompanied by simple movements. The activities were designed to provide repeated exposure to English sounds while creating an enjoyable and participatory learning environment. The implementation demonstrated that rhymes and chants encouraged children to participate actively, imitate English sounds and words, and engage enthusiastically in the learning activities. The use of rhythm and repetition also provided children with meaningful opportunities to become familiar with the sound patterns of English. Therefore, rhymes and chants can be utilized as simple, creative, and enjoyable media for introducing English sounds to early childhood learners.

Abstract

English learning at the elementary school level requires engaging and age-appropriate learning approaches that can encourage students to actively participate in the learning process. However, English instruction for young learners is often dominated by conventional activities that may limit students’ motivation, interaction, and opportunities to practice English. This community service program, entitled “Sing, Move, and Say: Total Physical Response (TPR) for Elementary School Students,” aimed to introduce an interactive English learning approach through the integration of songs, physical movements, and simple spoken expressions. The community service program was conducted at SDN 88 Kota Gorontalo through several stages, including initial observation, preparation of learning materials, implementation of TPR-based learning activities, and evaluation. During the activities, students were engaged in singing English songs, responding to teacher commands through physical movements, and practicing simple vocabulary and expressions through meaningful actions. The activities were designed to create a joyful, participatory, and low-anxiety learning environment. The implementation showed that TPR-based activities encouraged students to participate actively, respond enthusiastically to English instructions, and practice vocabulary and simple expressions in a more meaningful context. The program also demonstrated the potential of TPR as an accessible and enjoyable approach for supporting English learning among elementary school students. Thus, integrating singing, movement, and speaking activities can provide a practical alternative for making English learning more interactive and engaging for young learners.
