Abstract

Saat ini, penguasaan bahasa Inggris adalah suatu keharusan. Globalisasi dalam segala aspek kehidupan menuntut penguasaan bahasa Inggris sebagai landasan dalam pendidikan. Untuk membangun fondasi penguasaan bahasa Inggris yang baik, pembelajaran dini dianggap sebagai pilihan terbaik. Pembelajaran dini akan membantu siswa untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang kuat tentang bahasa Inggris. Namun, di Indonesia, pembelajaran bahasa Inggris tidak disarankan untuk diperkenalkan pada tahap awal pendidikan.

Menyikapi situasi tersebut, mahasiswa Jurusan Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Universitas Wiralodra menggagas kegiatan Fun Learning sebagai salah satu kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk memberikan para pelajar muda dalam hal ini siswa SD untuk mendapatkan pengalaman dan meningkatkan motivasi mereka untuk belajar bahasa Inggris dengan cara yang menyenangkan.

Abstract

As one of the language skills, students tend to have difficulties in reading as one of the language skills, especially difficulties in comprehending the text. Because of that, this research aims to investigate undergraduate students' strategies in reading comprehension, which focus on global reading strategy (GLOB), problem-solving strategy (PROB), and support reading strategy (SUP) adapted from Mokhtari & Sheorey (2002). This research was conducted using qualitative research with a case study design. A close-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interview were used as the instruments of this research to gain information about students' reading strategies in reading comprehension, especially in academic reading subjects. Twenty students from the fourth semester of one University in Indramayu participated in this research. The finding shows that the students use PROB with 80,62%, followed by GLOB at 77,38%, and SUP at 73,11%. Students stated in the interview that PROB was helpful and made them focus on understanding information from difficult text. In GLOB, the students usually guess the text content and check whether their guessing related to the text is correct or incorrect. While in SUP, the students circled the text and went back and forth to find the relationship among ideas in the text. Eventually, the findings can be useful for those who wish to conduct a study on students' reading strategies. The further researcher can provide tests to determine the student's ability in reading comprehension to obtain the complete data.

Abstract

This study investigates two research questions: (1) What are the benefits of implementing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in educational settings? and (2) What challenges are faced in implementing SEL within educational contexts? A systematic literature review was conducted by analyzing peer-reviewed articles published between 2019 and 2024 across databases such as Google Scholar, ERIC, ScienceDirect, and Garuda. The research design follows Tóth et al. (2023), applying the PICOC criteria (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome, Context) and thematic analysis from international and Indonesian journals. Addressing the first research question, four key benefits of SEL emerged: (1) enhanced self-awareness and emotional regulation among Generation Z; (2) improved communication and intercultural collaboration in language learning; (3) academic gains through increased motivation, engagement, and critical thinking; and (4) promotion of equity through inclusive environments. In response to the second question, five significant challenges were identified: (1) limited teacher competence in SEL; (2) misaligned curriculum and assessment systems; (3) cultural and contextual barriers; (4) digital adaptation issues among Generation Z; and (5) rigid policies emphasizing narrow academic metrics. This review provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers to support effective SEL integration in educational contexts by offering a balanced synthesis of advantages and obstacles.

Abstract

Reading interest and literacy skills play a crucial role in supporting effective learning processes among elementary school students. However, low reading interest remains a common challenge that hinders the development of reading habits and literacy competence at an early age. Therefore, innovative and engaging literacy programs are needed to foster a positive reading culture. The purpose of this study is to describe how  the Read Roamer at Mobile Library (ROOL) program has improved students’ literacy and reading interest. The ROOL activity was conducted in collaboration with the Regional Library (Perpustakaan Daerah/PERPUSDA) at SDN 3 Balongan, Indramayu, under the theme Giving Young Learner Experiences to Explore the Universe. A descriptive method with a phenomenological approach was employed in this research. The participants consisted of 38 students from grades 1 and 2. Data were collected through direct observation during implementation of the program and interviews with four students selected randomly. The ROOL program was organized through three main activities: educational games, shared reading sessions, and storytelling activities, all designed to create a fun, interactive, and student-centered learning environment. The results show that after engaging in the ROOL activities, the students’ interest in reading significantly increased. This improvement was reflected in students’ increased enthusiasm, positive attitudes toward reading, active engagement during activities, and enjoyment in exploring various reading materials. Furthermore, students expressed a strong desire to participate in similar literacy activities in the future. As a conclusion, the Read Roamer at Mobile Library (ROOL) program has a positive impact on enhancing literacy and reading interest among elementary school students and possesses the capacity to function as an efficient and sustainable literacy program within the educational environment.
