Abstract

The program aims to introduce the utilization of Gamma-App as an effective method of teaching English at SMP Jejakaka in Dobo, Aru Islands. The activity was carried out as a solution to barriers in learning English in isolated areas, which include the limitations of innovative learning media and the lack of motivation of students. This service involves training for teachers on how to use Gamma-App in the teaching process as well as evaluation of its implementation. The results of the activities showed a significant improvement in teachers' ability to use Gamma - App as an interactive learning medium, with an 85% increase in teachers' understanding. Through this dedication, the use of Gamma-App proved to be strategically innovative to improve the quality of English language learning in remote locations. It is hoped that this activity will serve as an example for other schools in applying technology to create inclusive, interactive, and effective learning.

Abstract

This community service program investigated the application snowball throwing as an instrument to augment English vocabulary acquisition among fifth-grade learners at SD Kristen 1 Dobo, situated in the Aru Islands. Teaching of English has some challenges, especially in primary school. The students do not speak English as their mother language; therefore, it is quite difficult for them to acquire English fluently particularly in rural areas. The program encompassed 29 participants and extended over three sessions, during which students engaged in cooperative gameplay that integrated written vocabulary, physical activity, and verbal expression. This approach facilitated students' comprehension and retention of vocabulary, provided them with lists of words, and instructed them on the accurate pronunciation of these terms through the use of engaging visuals and thematic content, while also modifying the classroom environment to enhance the learning process. The findings revealed a notable enhancement in vocabulary acquisition, heightened student motivation, and favorable teacher feedback. These results underscore the efficacy of embodied, game-based learning in fostering language development within an Indonesian primary educational context.
