Abstract

The Indonesian government has declared a vision for a Golden Indonesia by the year 2045. To create a bright future for Indonesia in the next 20 years, we must cultivate an outstanding young generation today by raising awareness of the importance of literacy and a reading culture among the youth. Literacy is not merely the technical ability to read and write, but goes beyond that—it includes the ability to understand, interpret, evaluate, and use information in order to participate actively in society. Once this awareness and mindset are formed, it is hoped that Indonesia's young generation will develop more productive habits by reading more books, thereby broadening their horizons, fostering a love for knowledge, cultivating curiosity, and developing critical thinking skills. This will help them become independent learners capable of responding to the increasingly complex challenges of the times. This community service activity employed a participatory action research method and was conducted with students of Madrasah Tsanawiyyah As-Syifa in West Bandung Regency. The activity took place on May 15, 2025. The students’ pre-test results showed an average score of 66.27. This finding indicates that the students had not yet fully understood the meaning of literacy or the importance of literacy and a reading culture. After being provided with education on the importance of literacy and reading habits, a post-test was administered. The results showed an increased average score of 83.09 and a calculated N-gain of 0.51, which falls into the medium category. These results indicate that students' understanding and awareness of the importance of literacy and a reading culture had improved.

Abstract

Fluent English speaking is essential for English Education students, especially for academic and professional success in global contexts. However, learners often face limited real-life interaction, a lack of feedback, and weak autonomous learning habits. Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) tools like HelloTalk are increasingly used, yet their specific role in promoting autonomous speaking practice at the university level remains underexplored. This study investigates students’ attitudes toward using HelloTalk to develop autonomous speaking skills and identifies the benefits and challenges they experience. A qualitative descriptive method was used, collecting data through closed-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with English Education students at Ma’soem University who used HelloTalk for at least one month. The findings reveal positive attitudes across cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions. Students found HelloTalk motivating, user-friendly, and effective for speaking practice. Key benefits included increased speaking confidence, flexibility, authentic language exposure, and timely feedback from peers and AI. Reported challenges included limited access to premium features, difficulty finding conversation partners, and fluctuating motivation. Overall, HelloTalk supports learner autonomy by providing a flexible, interactive space for language use beyond the classroom. These findings suggest that the integration of MALL tools like HelloTalk into formal curricula can enhance students’ speaking fluency and self-directed learning.
