Abstract

This community service activity aimed to improve instructors' skills in writing scientific articles and English presentations to strengthen their participation in international seminars. The main problems identified were instructors' poor ability to write articles that adhere to scientific principles and limited academic presentation skills in English. The activity was implemented in three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. The training methods used included guided writing, concept presentations, hands-on practice, and intensive mentoring. Evaluation was conducted through pre- and post-tests, practical performance assessments, and participant satisfaction questionnaires. The training results showed significant improvements in knowledge and skills. The average post-test score for participants increased compared to the pre-test, indicating an improved understanding of scientific writing structure and presentation techniques. Eighty-five percent of participants were able to produce complete drafts of scientific articles and demonstrated improved skills in preparing and delivering academic presentations in English, including aspects of delivery, fluency, and slide design. Furthermore, the participant satisfaction rate reached 92%, indicating that the training materials and strategies were considered relevant and beneficial for their professional development. However, this activity still has limitations, particularly related to the training duration and the variation in participants' initial abilities. Overall, this program is effective in improving the academic competency of instructors and has the potential to be replicated on a wider scale to support the continuous increase in scientific publications and international participation.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Maluku local wisdom, specifically "Kalesang" values, in enhancing students' descriptive writing competence through the FRESH technique among introverted and extroverted learners. This research aims to develop a culturally responsive and personality-sensitive pedagogy that integrates linguistic skills, cultural identity, and individual learning styles. Hence, this qualitative case study enlisted eight ninth-grade students from a junior high school in Masohi, Maluku, Indonesia. The data were collected through students’ writing products, in-depth interviews, and classroom observations. Afterward, the data were analyzed using a thematic analysis through the theoretical lens of sociocultural theory, differentiated instruction, and multiple intelligences theory. The results indicate that combining structured writing strategies with local values enhances coherence and elaboration in student texts, while also deepening cultural awareness and learner motivation. This study contributes to language education research by offering a replicable model for integrating indigenous knowledge with evidence-based pedagogy, promoting inclusive and meaningful learning in diverse EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This study found that students at SMK Gajah Mada 01 Margoyoso Pati have difficulties with writing skills. They struggle with generating ideas, and organizing their writing, and often make mistakes due to limited vocabulary. To address this, the researcher implemented Project-Based Learning (PjBL) combined with video animations created using the Canva application to improve the students' writing skills. This study also explains the effectiveness of PjBL using video animation by Canva application to improve the writing skills of students with high and low motivation. This study also shows the difference between students with high and low motivation taught by PjBL using video animation by the Canva application. The study was conducted with eleventh-grade students at SMK Gajah Mada 01 Margoyoso Pati, focusing on the impact of this method on students with high and low motivation. This study used a quasi-experimental research design. The subjects were eleventh-grade students consisting of 40 students. The questionnaire was used to assess students' motivation and their perception of PjBL and Canva, and it was given at the end of the teaching process. The test was used to measure students' writing skills and was administered during the final meeting. Before testing the hypothesis, the researcher conducted necessary tests, including the normality and homogeneity tests. The results indicate that PjBL, when paired with Canva video animations, significantly improves writing skills in both high and low-motivation students, though the effect is more pronounced in high-motivation students. The result of PjBL using video animation via the Canva application is 0.000, which is smaller than 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05). The result of PjBL using video animation via the Canva application is 0.007, which is smaller than 0.05 (0.007 < 0.05). Therefore, there is a difference in scores between students with high and low motivation. The significant value of .001 is smaller than 0.05 (0.001 < 0.05). In conclusion, the combination of PjBL and Canva video animations proves to be an effective strategy for improving students' writing skills. This method can be adapted to suit students of different motivation levels, helping them to express their ideas creatively while enhancing their academic performance.
