Abstract

In this reflection, the author reports on his experience teaching English through American culture to Indonesian university educators during three week intensive programs in Indonesia.  The author implemented culturally meaningful activities based upon the use of realia, or objects that connect language and on-the-ground reality of native speakers for the foreign language learner.  Baseball, baking, the card game Uno, and poetry proved to be successful vehicles for learning.  Additionally, emailing between the class and the author’s contacts in North America provided participants with “case studies” of real Americans/native speakers of English.  Such interactions with actual Americans may provide a useful contrast/compliment to the stereotypical images of Americans disseminated by mass media.  Lastly, while the teaching of English and American culture overseas may be controversial to some, this reflection argues that the careful selection of pedagogies can facilitate mutually enriching exchanges.  Insights into appropriate realia, subsequent activities, and teaching considerations in Indonesia may be gleaned from this reflection by pedagogues and practitioners alike.

Abstract

ABSTRACK Yesterday's Covid-19 pandemic caused an increased risk of stunting prevalence in toddlers. One of the efforts that can be made to prevent stunting is through continuous education. The purpose of this community service activity (PKM) is to increase the knowledge and attitudes of posyandu cadres regarding the message of balanced nutrition which is carried out through outreach to the community in Muja Muju Village, Yogyakarta City District. The method used in this PKM activity is through socialization by conveying education to the community with, 4 (four) pillars of balanced nutrition which includes 1) consumption of a variety of foods, 2) Clean and Healthy Behavior (PHBS), 3) weight monitoring , and 4) physical activity. Messages were given to 17 posyandu cadres from the Muja Muju Village. The educational results showed that there was an increase in the average knowledge score regarding balanced nutrition related to the prevention of stunting in toddlers from 77.52 ± 10.82 SD during the pre-test to 82.19 ± 9.93 SD during the posttest. In addition, the average attitude score also increased from 40.21 ± 6.67 SD to 44.48 ± 5.44 SD. Posyandu cadres are expected to become agents of change in stunting prevention behavior through educating parents of toddlers to prevent stunting.
