Abstract

The 21st century paradigm requires humans to develop various skills, including communication skills and research skills. In the context of learning activities, the importance of mastering communication skills is that students can express their thoughts, ideas, knowledge, or new information in the form of verbal and non-verbal. The importance of developing research skills is that research activities can stimulate critical thinking and problem solving skills. The purpose of this study was to improve written communication skills and research skills of prospective teacher students at STKIP Bina Mutiara Sukabumi by implementing the Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) approach. This study used a pre-experimental method with a single group pre-test post-test design. The research instrument used was a subjective test in form of essay consisted of 14 items, with details of 4 items derived from indicators of written communication skills and 10 items derived from indicators of research skills. The sample of this research was 15 students of STKIP Bina Mutiara Sukabumi. The results showed that students' written communication skills and research skills improved by using the SWH approach. The results of the t-test conducted were 0.00 < α = 0.05, indicating that the SWH approach had a significant effect on students' written communication skills and research skills. The gain test results obtained an n-gain value of 0.456 for written communication skills and 0.501 for research skills which indicated that the increase in both skills was in the "medium" category.

Abstract

Children in rural communities have few opportunities to interact in fun ways to learn English. This means low motivation and little exposure to the language as it is really used. Learning opportunities that foster language development and learner confidence might be available thru community-based education programs. This community service was conducted at the Banyuwangi Community Learning Center, Cibitung District, Sukabumi Regency. This community service is aimed to improve the English skill of young students thru English Fun program. The program was conducted for a month (Monday-Thursday) with elementary and secondary school students. The activities were participatory and learner-centered thru interactive games, songs, storytelling, vocabulary enrichment, simple conversations, role-playing and collaborative learning. The activities were intended to create a happy learning environment, to promote active participation, and to facilitate meaningful communication in the English language. Implementation showed increased student enthusiasm, confidence, classroom participation and willingness to use English in daily interactions. The constant practice helped the learners to improve their basic vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation and communication skills. To conclude, the English Fun program was effective in improving the basic English skills of children and cultivating positive attitudes toward learning English. With this program, we highlight the positive effects of sustainable community-based learning projects that help increase access to education and support English language learning for rural community children.
