Abstract

Kucur Village, located in Dau District, Malang Regency, is a village that has a lot of potential. However, the economic condition of most of its residents is still far from prosperous. Through this community service activity, the Ma Chung University community service team aims to develop the potential and empower the young generation in Kucur Village through practical English language basic education in collaboration with the Sanggar Belajar Cakrawasa as a partner. The three main problems faced by the partner are limited teaching staff, monotonous learning activities, and unavailability of English learning modules. The methods offered as solutions to the three problems are providing the Training of Trainers (ToT) program to Ma Chung University students to volunteer as additional teaching staff to the partner, according to the Teaching English for Young Learners (TEYL) theory, using fun learning techniques, develop learning modules. After 8 months of mentoring, the three main partners' problems were finally resolved.

Abstract

English language learning is an integral part of basic education in Indonesia today. However, not all students have equal opportunities to learn English. Elementary school children in Kucur village, in particular, are among those who lack sufficient access to learning English outside the classroom due to their family circumstances. Fortunately, there is a Learning Center called Cakrawangsa managed by the local youth organization (Karang Taruna) in Krajan hamlet, Kucur village. This center provides educational assistance to students. However, the center lacks permanent human resources to support students in learning English. In 2021, the community engagement team from Ma Chung University conducted once-a-week fun English learning sessions. Based on the evaluation results of the program, the participants greatly enjoyed the fun learning approach delivered by the Ma Chung University community engagement team. However, some students still struggled to memorize English vocabulary and pronounce it accurately. Therefore, the proposing team suggests a supplementary English learning program using an enjoyable method that has the potential to enhance vocabulary mastery. Based on conducted studies, the proposing team has developed a relevant board game tailored to the students' environment as an engaging and effective tool to support English language teaching.
