Abstract

English has become an elective subject in Elementary Schools (SD) but not all schools are able to organize it since they do not have English teachers. Responding to this, this community service activity was carried out with the aim of introducing English vocabularies to students of SD Inpres Bertingkat Tabaringan I, Makassar City using interesting teaching media in the form of comics. This activity was carried out in the form of additional courses outside of school hours which were held for 10 meetings and followed by students in grades III and IV. The media used in teaching English vocabulary was in the form of power points using comic characters that children like. During the activity, students looked enthusiastic and very excited to participate in this activity because there were comic characters presented together with the English vocabulary being taught. This proves that the main purpose of using comic media in teaching English vocabulary was successful and the majority of course participants were also able to pronounce and memorize new vocabularies given by the instructor

Abstract

The implementation of English language learning at the elementary school level in Indonesia continues to face significant challenges. One widely proposed solution to address these challenges is the integration of digital technology into English language instruction. The Fun Digital Class program aims to introduce and enhance elementary students’ vocabulary acquisition at SD Inpres Cambaya IV Makassar. Through the use of the Duolingo application, this program provides an engaging and effective method for English vocabulary learning, helping students build a strong foundation in language learning while fostering a positive attitude toward foreign language acquisition, particularly English. This program was conducted over a period of two months and involved 20 students from grades 4 to 6 (aged 10–12 years) who participated in an extracurricular English language program titled Fun Digital Class. The participants were selected using purposive sampling, considering that they shared a similar basic proficiency level in English, which was generally categorized as low. The program was implemented in three phases: the Preparation Phase, the Implementation Phase, and the Evaluation Phase. During its execution, the program successfully stimulated students’ enthusiasm and motivation in learning English vocabulary. As a result, participants demonstrated improved comprehension and mastery of English vocabulary by the end of the program. Furthermore, the majority of students expressed enjoyment and gratitude for the implementation of this program at their school, as it provided them with an engaging and enjoyable English learning experience.
