This community service develops the role of Boneka Jari in helping elementary school children in the Temanggung Kenyapi complex to improve their English vocabulary through understanding and memorizing. This PkM method uses the Service Learning methodology. Boneka Jari in the form of animals are used as tools that attract children's attention and help them understand English vocabulary related to animals. These dolls also facilitate the memorization process. During the service, the children were involved in learning sessions involving finger puppets. They interact with Boneka Jari and learn English vocabulary related to animals through dialogue and games. Children are given the opportunity to memorize vocabulary with the help of Boneka Jari. Evaluations show significant improvements in understanding and memorizing vocabulary, as well as increased confidence in using new vocabulary in everyday conversations. These findings indicate that the use of Boneka Jari is effective in helping children learn English vocabulary. This approach can be applied in various contexts and provides benefits in language development in the Temanggung Kenyapi complex and beyond.

This research aims to create a learning medium for English language learners using the digital design platform Canva. The subjects of this study were 22 students from Class VIIIA at Miftahul Jannah Palangka Raya. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach utilizing the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate). The instruments utilized for the purposes of data collection pertaining to validation and trial phases were interviews and questionnaires. The data were analyzed, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The validation results of the e-module listening indicate that the ratings from media experts were 90.7% and from material experts were 100%, which can be categorized as very feasible. A small group test was done on six Class VIIIA students using a random sampling technique, yielding a percentage result of 9.27%. Meanwhile, the large group test yielded a percentage of 93.88%, which was classified as very commendable. The results of this study help teachers in teaching and provide supporting media for students. Theoretically, this research aligns with Vygotsky's theory of social interaction, which posits that listening to audio represents a form of human interaction with media. The practical implications of this research are that it provides a basis for the development of interactive listening e-modules for use in listening learning.

Through a review of the literature, this article seeks to assess the significance of learning English in school. The study investigates the importance of English language instruction in educational settings by reviewing pertinent research articles and scholarly publications. The results show the importance of English language instruction in schools and the widespread use of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach because of its efficiency in the teaching and learning process. The CLT method helps students improve their communication abilities by inspiring them to see English as a useful instrument for efficient conversation. The communicative approach, or communative language teaching (CLT), involves teaching language through communication. This type of language instruction positions communication as both a purpose and a means of learning English. The improvement of students' communication and interpersonal skills is a priority in communicative language instruction. Through contact between students and between students and teachers, it is made sure that students are capable of speaking clearly and confidently in real-life circumstances. CLT fundamentally seeks to have pupils learn a new language by having them to interact with others in that language.

This research, based on a community service activity, aimed to improve pronunciation skills and boost the confidence of young language learners at the elementary level using tongue twisters. The study was conducted on July 4th, 2024, at the Miracle Language Center in Narathiwat, Southern Thailand, involving 40 students. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test assessments was employed to evaluate the program's effectiveness. Participants engaged in guided sessions featuring age-appropriate tongue twisters and interactive group activities, creating a supportive environment for practicing pronunciation. The pre-test and post-test data were analyzed using a paired t-test, which revealed a statistically significant improvement in both pronunciation and confidence levels (t=4.81,p<0.05). The findings support the hypothesis that tongue twisters are an effective tool for enhancing language learning among young learners, particularly in pronunciation and self-confidence.

English language learning in Islamic schools often struggles to provide materials aligned with cultural and religious values. This study aimed to develop an interactive English e-module that integrates Islamic values to support the language skills of eighth-grade students in Islamic secondary school. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach and applied the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model proposed by Branch (2009). Data were collected through interviews, documentation, questionnaires, and User Experience Questionnaires (UEQ). Results indicated that the e-module was deemed feasible by both material and media experts. During implementation, evaluations from 41 students revealed a positive assessment across all aspects including attractiveness, perspective, efficiency, dependability, stimulation, and novelty. This e-module combined multimedia elements and interactive activities to support language skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing) while instilling Islamic values. It was hoped that this interactive e-module would be an effective supplementary learning tool to improve students' English language skills while strengthening their understanding of Islamic values, both at school and at home. This study offered a structured approach to integrating religious values into language learning through digital tools, providing insights for future curriculum development.

This study aims to explore the strategies used by English teachers to enhance students' critical thinking skills in reading at MTsN 1 Kota Palangka Raya, an Islamic junior high school in Central Kalimantan. A descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of teaching practices within a real classroom context. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that teachers employed various strategies such as interactive read-alouds, divergent questioning, the SQ3R method, group discussions, and project-based learning. These strategies were often integrated with Islamic values like honesty, responsibility, and deliberation. Despite facing challenges such as students’ low vocabulary and reluctance to express opinions, teachers addressed these through scaffolding, gradual questioning, and differentiated tasks. The study highlights the importance of culturally responsive teaching strategies that align with Islamic values and suggests practical ways to foster critical thinking in madrasah settings.

Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill essential for academic success. However, many international students, particularly those from non-English-speaking backgrounds, face significant challenges in understanding academic texts. This study explored the reading comprehension challenges encountered by four Asian international students from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Vietnam at an American university in New York during the Fall Semester of 2023. It explored the Problem-Solving Strategies they used to overcome these challenges. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and open-ended questionnaires. The findings revealed that linguistic factors, such as limited academic vocabulary, and non-linguistic factors, such as background knowledge, significantly affect students' reading comprehension. Despite these challenges, students frequently utilized Problem-Solving Strategies, including rereading, adjusting reading speed, and inferring meanings from context, to enhance their understanding. The study highlighted the crucial role of these strategies and suggested that targeted instruction in Problem-Solving Strategies could further support international students' academic success.
