Abstract

Mifasol Learning House is a non-profit organization that works for the community with the goal of providing additional education for underprivileged children in Depok, West. The children are given a variety of training materials to help them improve their insight and knowledge so that they can compete. English language training is one of the learning materials available at this study center. This is due to the students' lack of fundamental English knowledge. Correct and accurate English vocabulary is one of the fundamentals and the main issue that students face. Based on this, lecturers in the English Language and Literature study program at Bina Sarana Informatika University participate in community service activities. This activity is packaged as training aimed at increasing English vocabulary acquisition using the Vocabulary Self-Collection Strategy (VSS). Two cycles are used in the training method. Each cycle is divided into four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection.

Abstract

This study examines the perspectives of non-English major students regarding the role of interviewing native speakers in enhancing their English proficiency at a public online institution in Indonesia. A mixed-method design with a sequential explanatory approach was implemented. Quantitative data were collected from 50 non-English major students using a Google Form questionnaire and subjected to descriptive analysis to discern overarching perceptual trends. After that, we looked at the open-ended responses qualitatively to find out more about the things that were shaping those perceptions. The results show that most students think that interviewing native speakers is challenging and interesting way to improve their speaking confidence, listening comprehension, and vocabulary since they have to use English directly with the native speakers. The qualitative findings indicate that students regard the activity as a genuine learning experience that enhances real-life communication and boosts their enthusiasm to actively engage with English. In conclusion, the study indicates that incorporating interviews with native speakers is an effective pedagogical strategy for enhancing English competence among learners from non-English academic backgrounds.
