The National Schools Debating Championship (NSDC) is among the most popular debate competitions. Schools in Indonesia strive to prepare their best students for this prestigious competition. One high school in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, also prepares its students to participate in this prestigious event. To this end, the school formed an English Debate Club (EDC). However, the enthusiasm of EDC members in practising tends to be inconsistent, which impacts the effectiveness of their preparation. In response to this problem, a team of lecturer and students from the English Education Study Program, Palangka Raya University, implemented a coaching program to increase the enthusiasm, confidence, and debating skills of EDC members. The coaching activities were conducted in four sessions, covering motion analysis training, case studies, and debate practice, with guidance from an outstanding student representing the university in the National University Debating Championship (NUDC) at the national level. Qualitative questionnaire results indicated increased enthusiasm and self-confidence among EDC members during training sessions and improved understanding of debate strategies. This initiative demonstrates that coaching based on the direct experience of a high-achieving debater can serve as an effective strategy for developing debate clubs in secondary schools.Keywords: enthusiasm; coaching program; debate strategy; self-confidence; debate club Abstrak: National Schools Debating Championship (NSDC) merupakan salah satu kompetisi debat yang paling populer.

Program English Camp merupakan upaya strategis yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan motivasi siswa dalam belajar Bahasa Inggris melalui pendekatan pembelajaran yang terstruktur, kontekstual, relevan, dan interaktif. Program ini berangkat dari permasalahan rendahnya kesadaran siswa terhadap pentingnya penguasaan Bahasa Inggris, pengelolaan English Club yang belum optimal, serta keterbatasan materi dan media pembelajaran yang menarik. Pelaksanaan English Camp dilakukan melalui lima tahapan, yaitu sosialisasi, pembelajaran berbasis modul Speak, Play, and Learn, integrasi teknologi melalui video dan kuis interaktif di LMS Canvas, pendampingan guru melalui co-teaching, serta keberlanjutan program melalui penyediaan perangkat pembelajaran. Hasil pelaksanaan menunjukkan bahwa 27 dari 29 siswa (93%) konsisten mengikuti rangkaian kegiatan dan mayoritas siswa aktif dan senang terlibat dalam sesi tanya jawab, diskusi dan permainan edukatif. Materi, aktivitas, dan media yang variatif serta integrasi unsur teknologi dan gamifikasi terbukti mampu menstimulasi motivasi siswa dengan gaya belajar yang beragam, sehingga menciptakan suasana belajar yang lebih menyenangkan, bermakna, dan memotivasi. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa English Camp efektif dalam meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa dan dapat menjadi strategi alternatif dalam mendukung keberlanjutan kegiatan ekstrakurikuler seperti English Club .

This study investigates Indonesian EFL teachers’ perceptions and implementation of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) in rural Central Kalimantan. Using a qualitative design with semi-structured interviews, it explores how teachers integrate content, pedagogy, and technology in their classroom practices. The findings show that teachers demonstrate strong confidence in content and technological knowledge, adapting instruction to students’ needs and displaying positive attitudes toward technology integration. However, challenges persist in pedagogical domains, particularly in fostering collaboration, and are compounded by infrastructural limitations, digital inequities, and restrictive institutional policies. This study highlights rural teachers’ adaptive strategies under constrained conditions, expanding TPACK beyond urban settings. The implications call for teacher training that emphasizes pedagogically grounded and context-sensitive approaches, and for policies that strengthen rural digital infrastructure and promote equitable access. Future research should broaden the extent to a broader rural context, include learner perspectives, and examine teachers’ sustainable TPACK development.

Developing reading habits is part of empowering education; therefore, reading habits should be instilled from an early age. However, not all children can experience facilities such as reading various types of reading books that suit their interests and preferences, as is the case with children in orphanages. As a response, this community service plays a part in increasing childrenâ€™s interest in reading. The program we proposed, namely Reading Corner, took place at Imanuel Orphanage in Palangka. The program was carried out by assessing the needs, designing the Reading Corner, and implementing it. Reading Corner serves as a facility for extensive reading at home. Reading Corner allows the children to read various types of books based on their preferences. The result of this program indicated that the children looked enthusiastic about the books as they chose and borrowed the book to read. The closer children are to the books, the more often they will use their time to access and read the books. In line with that, it is expected that the literacy level of Indonesian will increase. Keywords: reading corner; reading interest; reading habit Mengembangkan budaya membaca merupakan bentuk dari penyelenggaraan pendidikan, maka dari itu budaya membaca harus ditanamkan sejak dini pada anak. Namun, tidak semua anak dapat merasakan fasilitas seperti membaca aneka jenis buku bacaan yang sesuai minatnya, seperti halnya anak-anak di panti asuhan. Maka dari itu, kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan minat baca pada anak di Panti Asuhan Imanuel Palangka Raya. Program yang dilaksanakan adalah dengan menyediakan fasilitas Reading Corner atau pojok baca. Adapun tahapan kegiatan mencakup pendataan kebutuhan, perancangan, dan pelaksanaan. Hasil dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk menghadirkan Reading Corner di panti asuhan guna memberikan akses kepada anak-anak untuk membaca aneka jenis buku yang menarik dan sesuai dengan minat mereka. Respon anak-anak terhadap Reading Corner sangat positif. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari antusiasme mereka dalam memilih dan meminjam buku bacaan. Diharapakan, semakin dekat anak dengan buku-buku bacaan, maka mereka akan lebih sering menggunakan waktunya untuk mengakses dan membaca buku-buku tersebut. Sejalan dengan itu, kami mengharapkan agar tingkat literasi anak-anak Indonesia semakin meningkat.Kata kunci: kebiasaan membaca; minat baca; pojok baca; Reading Corner
