Abstract

The community service program was carried out with encouragement to improve the ability and understanding of word classes in English for kindergarten teachers, especially TKIT Al-Islah, Jombor Village, Mojolaban District, Sukoharjo. The material presented consists of pronoun, verb, adjective, noun, and adverb. Service activities in the form of this training begin with pretest questions and end with post tests. The evaluation showed an increase in word classes knowledge in English where the pretest results were 72 to 90 during the posttest. Thus, it is expected that teachers can develop English learning materials by utilizing their word classes knowledge.

Abstract

The study aims to compare Indonesian and English proverbs with agricultural themes in terms of syntactic structures and lexical choices. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a comparative approach. The data consist of 20 agricultural English proverbs found on a website, meanwhile their Indonesian counterparts were obtained from various online sources. Although the dataset is limited in size, the selection process was carefully designed to reduce imbalance and potential bias. The selection and pairing of these proverbs were carried out by applying semantic justification to ensure that both languages reflect comparable meanings. The data were collected through documentation, organized into tables, and analyzed syntactically and lexically. The analysis reveals that both sets of proverbs employ simple, compound, and complex sentences, with complex sentences being the most dominant. The phenomenon indicates that agricultural proverbs in both languages tend to consist of layered wisdom and conditional reasoning, reflecting the complexity of human interaction with nature. Compound sentences, however, are the least frequently found. It suggests that proverbs seldom rely on coordination but rather emphasize subordination and cause-and-effect relations. Lexically, both languages share terms related to seasons, weather, agricultural tools, activities, animals, and plants; however, the specific choices differ due to the cultural and ecological contexts. English proverbs often include words such as "hay," "pig," and "hen" that reflect European farming practices and early industrial elements, which are not commonly found in Indonesian proverbs. Conversely, Indonesian proverbs employ traditional tools such as sumur (well), jala (net), and payung (umbrella), highlighting agrarian traditions and local livelihoods. The findings show how ecological realities and cultural practices shape linguistic representation in agricultural proverbs.
