Abstract

Community service activities are a mandatory responsibility for university lecturers as part of the Tri Dharma. This research aimed to investigate attitudes and behaviors towards environmental conservation and analyze the impact of theme-based learning on children in Sei Tuan Village, contributing to broader community-level efforts to protect and preserve the environment. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving both qualitative and quantitative paradigms to collect and analyze data from 13 children residing in Sei Tuan Village, Deli Serdang Regency. A Pre-Test – Treatment – Post-Test methodology and observations were utilized in conducting the research. The results revealed that 85% of children in Sei Tuan Village demonstrated proficiency in distinguishing between healthy and unhealthy environments. Additionally, all individuals exhibited concern for the environment, including methods of preservation and the benefits of a pristine environment. Notably, 77% of students received comprehensive instruction on categorizing trash into organic, inorganic, and hazardous types. Moreover, 88.5% of individuals articulated positive effects resulting from nurturing environmental affection. Theme-based learning was found to enhance children's recognition of environmental and climate change issues, sparking their interest in learning, particularly in applying basic English vocabulary to care for and protect the environment.

Abstract

Previous research has examined project-based learning (PBL), video-based tasks, and environmental education in EFL contexts. However, research on how a single video-based project can assist students in enhancing speaking skills while simultaneously fostering environmental awareness remains underexplored. This descriptive qualitative study aims to investigate students' perceptions of the project, determine the most enhanced speaking components, and assess the project's impact on their environmental awareness and dedication. During a two-week study on local environmental concerns, forty-one EFL students from the second semester at a university in Sumatera Utara took part in this study. Data were gathered using a ten-item open-ended questionnaire completed after the study and examined thematically to discover recurring trends in students' perspectives. The results demonstrate that students found the project intriguing since it was collaborative, innovative, and real-world in nature. The enormous improvements in speaking elements such as fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation, and confidence have resulted in less focus on grammar. It also increases students' environmental consciousness and sense of responsibility by teaching them about local ecological challenges and the need for environmental protection. This study implies that video-based PBL has the potential to increase both speaking skills and environmental awareness, making it a meaningful and socially relevant method for language learning.
