Abstract

Literacy is a fundamental skill essential for academic, social, and cultural development, yet interest in and culture surrounding literacy remain low in rural areas such as Desa Toapaya, Indonesia. This community service program aimed to strengthen basic literacy at SDN 005 Toapaya through a collaborative and integrative approach involving the school, university students, the Bintan Library Office, families, and local communities. The method employed was participatory and collaborative, implementing the SIBER CERDAS program (Synergy of Interactive Learning, Literacy, and Numeracy), which included shared reading, interactive discussions, quizzes, writing and storytelling competitions, and interactive numeracy activities. The results showed increased student motivation and participation in literacy and numeracy activities, as well as improved confidence in oral expression. Additionally, there was a noticeable improvement in students’ engagement with reading materials. Challenges faced included limited reading materials, inconsistent literacy habits at home, and lack of awareness about the importance of regular literacy practice. To ensure sustainability, ongoing support from schools, families, and local government, along with strengthened cooperation with libraries and communities, is necessary. Encouraging active participation and fostering a habit of regular reading is crucial for the long-term success of such initiatives. This program successfully created an inclusive and sustainable literacy ecosystem and serves as an adaptable model for similar rural communities, offering valuable lessons in community-driven educational development.

Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions and experiences of using Roblox as a supporting tool for developing English-speaking skills at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design, the study involved ten participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that students generally hold positive perceptions toward the use of Roblox for English-speaking practice, reporting improvements in fluency, confidence, vocabulary, and willingness to communicate in English. Students highlighted that Roblox’s interactive and game-based environment provides authentic opportunities to engage in spontaneous communication with international players, thereby reducing speaking anxiety and increasing motivation. However, challenges such as limited vocabulary, unfamiliar slang, and technical issues were also identified. Despite these obstacles, most participants agreed that integrating Roblox into English learning activities creates a low-pressure, immersive, and enjoyable environment that supports language development. The study concludes that Roblox can serve as an effective supplementary platform for enhancing English-speaking competence and fostering learner autonomy in EFL contexts.
