Abstract

This community service project aimed to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of using English-language YouTube videos to improve listening skills at Package C Community Learning Centers (PKBM) in Banjarmasin City. Listening skills have been identified as a major challenge for students at PKBM due to limited exposure to authentic materials and real-world language. This research utilized a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest format involving 30 students from a local PKBM. The implementation stages included interactive lectures, YouTube video screenings, followed by discussions and question-and-answer sessions, with the effectiveness assessed through pretests and posttests. The quantitative results revealed a significant improvement in listening comprehension, with the average listening score increasing from 82.9 in the pretest to 86.7 in the posttest, reflecting a positive impact of the intervention. In addition to the quantitative results, the qualitative data highlighted high levels of student engagement and motivation throughout the learning process. Many students expressed that the YouTube videos made the content more relatable and enjoyable, which contributed to a deeper understanding of the material. This suggests that the use of YouTube videos is not only effective in enhancing listening skills but also fosters a more interactive and student-centered learning environment, making the learning experience more relevant to the needs of non-formal learners. The study concludes that YouTube videos are a promising and innovative tool for improving English language teaching at PKBM, providing accessible and engaging resources that can bridge the gap between formal and informal learning environments, helping students connect better with the material.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of English cartoon movies on vocabulary acquisition among EFL learners, with a focus on both receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge. It also explores retention and the influence of mediating variables such as proficiency level and captioning. Employing a one-group pretest-posttest design, the study involved 25 purposively selected junior high school EFL students with limited English exposure outside the classroom. Participants first completed a vocabulary pretest, then received treatment through guided exposure to an English cartoon movie (e.g., Dora the Explorer), and finally took a posttest. The results revealed a significant improvement in vocabulary scores, with the mean increasing from 75.16 (pretest) to 87.92 (posttest), yielding a mean gain of 12.76 points. Statistical analysis using a paired sample t-test produced a t-value of 5.21 (p < 0.05), indicating that the difference was statistically significant. These findings support Dual Coding Theory and Constructivist learning principles, emphasizing the role of multimedia input in enhancing vocabulary learning. The use of cartoon-based audiovisual media proved effective across varying proficiency levels, narrowing learning gaps and promoting contextual vocabulary retention.
