Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) in enhancing students’ writing skills through the use of the CAKAP and Busuu applications. The objectives of the study were to examine the effect of the CAKAP application on students’ writing skills, to determine the effect of the Busuu application on students’ writing skills, and to identify which application provides a more significant improvement in students’ writing performance. The study employed a quantitative research design using a quasi-experimental method involving three classes: Experimental Class I (CAKAP), Experimental Class II (Busuu), and a control class receiving conventional instruction. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to measure students’ writing ability before and after the treatment. The data were collected through writing tests and analyzed using a t-test. The findings revealed that students’ writing ability before the treatment was relatively low in both experimental groups. After the implementation of the applications, students in both experimental classes showed significant improvement in their writing performance. The t-test results indicated that the t-value for the CAKAP group (11.611) was higher than the t-table value (1.68657) at the significance level of 0.05 with a degree of freedom of 35. Similarly, the Busuu group showed a t-value of 11.501, which was also higher than the t-table value. These results indicate that both applications significantly improved students’ writing skills. However, the CAKAP application demonstrated a slightly higher effect compared to the Busuu application. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis was accepted, and the null hypothesis was rejected. The study suggests that mobile-assisted language learning applications such as CAKAP and Busuu can serve as effective tools for improving students’ writing skills in English language learning contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of using corpus-based reading materials on EFL students’ academic writing accuracy. Employing a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, the study involved 50 undergraduate students from Institut Bisnis dan Komputer Indonesia, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received instruction through corpus-based reading materials, while the control group was taught using conventional reading texts. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test writing tasks and analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test analysis. The findings revealed that the experimental group demonstrated significantly greater improvement in writing accuracy compared to the control group. The results showed substantial gains in grammatical accuracy, vocabulary use, and sentence structure, indicating that corpus-based reading materials effectively enhance students’ ability to produce accurate academic writing. In addition, the analysis of performance levels revealed a significant shift from lower to higher proficiency categories among students in the experimental group. These findings highlight the importance of integrating corpus-based approaches into reading and writing instruction. This study suggests that corpus-based reading materials serve as an effective pedagogical tool to improve EFL students’ academic writing accuracy.

Abstrak Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pendampingan belajar kepada siswa melalui program bimbingan belajar gratis di Desa Parbuluan IV. Program ini dilaksanakan pada tanggal 2 - 30 Januari 2026 sebagai bagian dari kegiatan Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) yang melibatkan dosen pembimbing lapangan dan mahasiswa sebagai tutor. Kegiatan bimbingan belajar ini mencakup beberapa bidang studi yaitu Bahasa Inggris, Matematika, dan bimbingan komputer. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan melalui beberapa tahapan, yaitu observasi awal, perencanaan program, pelaksanaan kegiatan bimbingan belajar, serta evaluasi kegiatan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa program bimbingan belajar gratis ini memberikan dampak positif terhadap peningkatan pemahaman siswa terhadap materi pelajaran serta meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa. Secara kuantitatif, terjadi peningkatan pemahaman siswa sebesar ±70% berdasarkan hasil evaluasi latihan soal, serta peningkatan keaktifan dan partisipasi siswa dalam pembelajaran sebesar ±65% selama kegiatan berlangsung. Selain itu, kegiatan ini juga memberikan kesempatan bagi siswa untuk memperoleh tambahan pembelajaran di luar lingkungan sekolah dengan suasana belajar yang lebih interaktif dan komunikatif. Dengan demikian, program bimbingan belajar gratis yang dilaksanakan melalui kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dapat menjadi salah satu alternatif dalam mendukung peningkatan kualitas pendidikan bagi siswa di Desa Parbuluan IV. Kata kunci: bimbingan belajar; motivasi belajar; pendampingan belajar; pengabdian kepada masyarakat; siswa. Abstract This community service activity aims to provide academic support to students through a free tutoring program in Parbuluan IV Village. The program was held from January 2 to 30, 2026, as part of the Community Service Program (KKN), involving field supervisors and students as tutors. This tutoring program covers several subjects, including English, Mathematics, and computer skills. The implementation of the program consists of several stages: initial observation, program planning, the tutoring sessions themselves, and program evaluation. The results indicate that this free tutoring program has a positive impact on improving students’ understanding of the subject matter and increasing their motivation to learn. Quantitatively, there was an increase in students’ understanding of approximately 70% based on the results of practice test evaluations, as well as an increase in student engagement and participation in learning of approximately 65% during the program. Additionally, this activity provided students with the opportunity to gain supplementary learning outside the school environment in a more interactive and communicative learning atmosphere. Thus, the free tutoring program implemented through this community service activity can serve as an alternative to support the improvement of educational quality for students in Parbuluan IV Village. Keywords: tutoring; learning motivation; learning support; community service; students.
