Abstract

This study aims to prepare a new product in the process of learning English, especially for semester 1 students. The product to be prepared is a digital picture book-based learning medium (e-book). Digital picture books (e-books) are made specifically to guide students to become more skilled in learning English according to ethical norms and customary values. Digital picture books or e-books will be packaged more independently and can be used directly by students with the help of the teacher or personally. This research uses the development method by adapting the IDI model, which has three stages of development: planning, design, and development. All processes will be adjusted based on the students' needs in terms of English skills. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires and testing, and qualitative data were collected through interviews. To develop learning materials to offer students, researchers sought to find needs analysis, effectiveness, and practicality of the products in designing and implementing. Based on the research findings, the study was considered valid and practical and could be used to improve the quality of English comprehension among students.

Abstract

The goal of this community service program at SMP IT Imam Syafi'i Cendikia Pekanbaru was to help students improve their practical English skills, especially their speaking and writing. Even though students had learnt grammar in a formal setting before, it was clear from observations that there was a big difference between what they knew about grammar and how well they could use it in real-life situations. A contextual and applicative Pedagogical Grammar approach was implemented to tackle this issue, in accordance with the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) framework that priorities flexible, meaningful, and student-centered learning. The program included socialization, training for teachers, putting what they learnt into practice in the classroom, mentoring, and regular evaluations. Grammar lessons were part of real-life communication tasks like role-playing, group discussions, and writing. The learning materials were made more relevant to students' lives by using themes like empathy, bullying awareness, and hobbies. The results show that students' English skills have gotten a lot better. Students showed more confidence when speaking English, wrote messages and short texts with more accuracy and fluency, and used grammatical structures better in real-life conversations. Teachers also said that using interactive and context-based methods to teach grammar made them more effective. In general, using contextual Pedagogical Grammar has been shown to improve students' ability to communicate and close the gap between knowing grammar and using it in real life. This method helps MBKM reach its goals and gets students ready to meet the demands of global communication with more linguistic confidence and skill.
