Abstract

English is an elective subject at Indonesian primary schools and every school is allowed to offer English for providing young learners (YLs) opportunity to practice English for communication in global society. Moreover, English is introduced earlier in primary education as an extra-curricular activity as well as a locally-tailored school subject. This community service program aims at facilitating the sixth graders with extended activities to support the English for Young Learners (EYL) program that they have attended for six years and preparing them with initial experience before enrolling in English a compulsory subject class in lower secondary education. Ar-Rohmah English Week was conducted for 60 minutes within four working days with activities to enhance the YLs’ English listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Four activities were selected based on the learners’ needs within meaningful activities such as Virtual Tour to the USA, Reading Theater, Students’ Activities Journaling which infuses Islamic content, and Act Out and Presentation. All of those activities were also designed by addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (UN SDGs 2030) number 4 on quality education. With their English proficiency, all students are expected to be able to compete in mastering various knowledge in facing global challenges in the future.

Abstract

ESP or English for Specific Purposes is an instructional approach centered on addressing learners' specific goals and requirements. The ESP approach is particularly suited for students in Indonesia who are learning English, especially those studying in institutions where English is not the primary language. This study seeks to explore the needs of students who are currently registered in the ESP program at the University of Muhammadiyah Malang, Especially in Psychology faculties. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving a sample of sixty-four participants (N=64). Data was collected through an online survey using closed-ended questionnaires for quantitative insights, and qualitative data was gathered through Semi-structured Interviews to explore learners' perceived needs. Data analysis using IBM SPSS 25 software revealed the importance of integrating effective language strategies into ESP courses to enhance students' communication skills with lecturers, peers, professionals, and clients. The findings emphasize the need for authentic activities and real-world scenarios to develop proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing within the psychology context. Students highlighted the significance of engaging in meaningful interactions, attending conferences and presentations, reading specialized materials, and practicing academic writing tasks. However, the study has limitations, including relying on student perspectives and self-reported data. Further research is needed to validate the findings and consider the long-term impact of implementing the proposed changes to the ESP program. This study underscores the relevance of ESP methodologies in tailoring English education to the specific needs of Indonesian psychology students, contributing to their language development and preparedness for academic and professional success
