Abstract

This community service program aimed to enhance students’ intercultural communication skills through drama training based on Malay and English cultural elements at SMAN 2 Rambah Hilir, Rokan Hulu Regency, Riau Province. The initiative was motivated by the students’ limited English-speaking abilities and the lack of cultural integration in language learning. The implementation employed a participatory and collaborative approach consisting of three main stages: (1) preparation and module development, (2) cultural workshops and training, and (3) intercultural drama performances. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ communication skills, confidence, and intercultural awareness. The drama performance served as an effective and enjoyable learning medium while strengthening students’ appreciation of local Malay cultural identity. Additionally, the program produced a training module that can be utilized by teachers for sustainable learning. Thus, this activity proves that integrating arts, culture, and language in education can effectively foster the development of Pancasila Student Profiles who are creative and globally minded.

Abstract

Speaking skill remains a core component of English language proficiency, yet many EFL learners struggle to develop it effectively through conventional instruction alone. This study investigates whether the use of the Duolingo application can enhance the speaking skills of fourth-semester students in the English Department at Pasir Pengaraian University. A quantitative, pre-experimental design was employed using a one-group pretest-posttest model. The participants consisted of 24 fourth-semester students selected through cluster total sampling. Students’ speaking skills were assessed before and after a treatment period involving the use of Duolingo as a supplementary learning tool. The findings revealed a notable improvement in students' speaking performance following the intervention. The average pretest score was 63.96 with a standard deviation of 18.11, which increased to 82.92 in the post-test with a standard deviation of 11.60. This improvement suggests a positive effect of Duolingo on students' speaking proficiency. The results indicate that mobile-assisted language learning applications such as Duolingo may serve as effective supplementary tools in higher education contexts. While the findings demonstrate short-term gains, further longitudinal research is necessary to evaluate the sustainability and broader applicability of these outcomes. Nonetheless, this study supports the integration of digital learning platforms into English language instruction to foster more engaging and autonomous learning experiences.
