Abstract

To address these issues, a series of 10 training sessions were conducted combining synchronous and asynchronous English learning, self-access language learning, and hands-on cultural activities. Results indicate a significant improvement: 89% of participants reported have better English and cultural literacy skills. The program highlights the relevance of integrating language learning with local culture and creative hands-on activities, while also providing a replicable model for sustainable youth empowerment.
