Abstract

English language skills are currently considered important as one of the fundamental requirements for continuing an educational career or work. This community service research aims to improve English skills for the younger generation through the Alam Daur Community, a community engaged in literacy in the Central Lombok area. The English Intensive program is implemented online using the Zoom application. The method used was the cooperative learning method, participants were involved in webinar sessions, discussions, conversation simulations, and exercises that were relevant to daily activities and the needs of students. The results of the study showed that the intensive English program carried out for one full month through the zoom platform effectively stimulated children's skills. This could be seen from the post-test results which showed an increase in scores. In addition, other results proved that there was a strong relationship between tutors and participants and a fast exchange of information. Student involvement and motivation as well as increasing teacher capacity were also discussed. In line with Rena Pasick, Wilma Brakefield-Caldwell of Detroit, Michigan, and Edith Parker, this study recommends strong and ongoing collaboration, so that existing changes can be evaluated and treatments can be continuously developed for the institutions and communities involved.

Abstract

Amidst the rapidly evolving global landscape, proficiency in English language skills has become indispensable for accessing information, facilitating effective communication, and engaging in global interactions. This necessity is particularly pronounced for students in Lombok who actively participate in diverse sectors such as agriculture, academia, and trade. Understanding the importance of English proficiency in these contexts, this study explores the communication barriers experienced by students during their learning process. It investigates the underlying factors that impede the development of their speaking skills. The qualitative study involved eighteen participants enrolled in the English Quarantine Al Badriyah (EQAB) Program, with eight selected as primary informants for detailed interviews. Data collection methods included closed-ended questions and semi-structured interviews, which were meticulously transcribed and analysed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The research revealed several significant barriers hindering students’ English-speaking skills, including nervousness, lack of vocabulary, and shyness. Conversely, the study identified motivation factors, positive feedback and agreeable activities as pivotal elements that could effectively enhance students’ speaking proficiency. This study underscores the critical role of English language proficiency in empowering students to overcome barriers and actively participate in global discourse. By addressing these challenges and leveraging supportive factors, educators and stakeholders can better facilitate the development of robust English communication skills among students in diverse educational and professional settings.Keywords: Communication Barriers; Enhancing English; Speaking Skills.
