Abstract

This study aims to describe how English Kids’ songs as media in teaching English to early childhood learners enhanced students’ vocabulary mastery. Considering young learners are naturally active, imaginative, and responsive to fun activities, songs become an appropriate approach to foster language interest and skills from an early age. The findings in this study revealed that English songs have been proven success in enhancing vocabulary for young learners. The catchy rhythms and repetitive lyrics help children memorize and imitate words within meaningful contexts, enrich children’s comprehension through audio/ audio visual context, cultural expressions, and simple verbal interactions that engage them actively. Observations, interview, and teacher reports indicated a significant increase in children’s interest of vocabulary mastery. The students’ vocabulary building is significantly improved when teachers play an active role in explaining the material, repeating key vocabulary, and facilitating interaction after the song is played. Therefore, it could be concluded that songs function not merely as entertainment but as meaningful, enjoyable, and effective tools in laying the foundation for English vocabulary at Islamic Elementary School, MI Unggulan Al Muhammad Cepu.

Abstract

Empowering rural communities through handicraft skills training has become one of the effective strategies in improving the local economy. In the midst of economic challenges faced by rural communities, skills development based on local potential can provide sustainable business opportunities. This research uses a qualitative approach with the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, which involves the community as an active subject in the research. The main data sources were obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and focus group discussions (FGDs) with trainees, instructors, and policy makers in Mlowokarangtalun Village Pulokulon Grobogan.The purpose of this study was to analyse the impact of handicraft skills training on improving the economy of the village community and identify supporting and inhibiting factors in the implementation of this empowerment programme. The results showed that skills training based on inorganic waste utilisation was able to increase participants' income from an average of Rp1,000,000 to Rp2,500,000 per month. In addition, there are significant social changes, such as increased independence, self-confidence, and active participation in the community. These results are in line with the concept of empowerment, which emphasises the active participation of the community in the process of local economic development
