<![CDATA[Mastering English from an early age was an important skill children needed to meet the demands of global communication, yet children’s exposure to English in Jorong Muaro Tantang, Nagari Salareh Aia Utara, remained limited to formal classroom learning, with minimal time allocated. This activity aimed to introduce basic English vocabulary and expressions to second- and fifth-grade elementary school students through interactive learning media and a communicative approach, conducted at the Istiqamah Muaro Tantang Mosque. The method used was training and a workshop, conducted across three meetings, consisting of a preparation stage, implementation through interactive media and communicative question-and-answer sessions, and evaluation using an interactive quiz at the end of each session. The materials were arranged in levels: greetings and numbers for second-grade students, and vocabulary on body parts, colors, and animals accompanied by simple question-and-answer sentences for fifth-grade students. The results showed an increase in student participation and enthusiasm, marked by a rising percentage of correct quiz answers from the first to the third meeting. The mosque proved capable of functioning as a comfortable and easily accessible non-formal learning space for children outside school hours. This activity recommended continuing the mosque-based English training program by establishing a regular study group managed by the local mosque committee.
