<![CDATA[This community service program to introduce basic English to elementary school students at SD Negeri 11 V Koto Kampung Dalam through an interactive and enjoyable approach. The program was motivated by students' limited exposure to English, passive learning behavior, and anxiety when speaking in front of the class. The activity applied a participatory, experiential-learning approach integrating role play, songs, and educational games across four meetings, involving 28 fourth-grade students. Data were collected through observation, pre-test and post-test, field notes, and questionnaires, then analyzed using percentage gain scores and descriptive qualitative analysis. Results showed vocabulary understanding increased from 54% to 85%, speaking confidence from 46% to 78%, and active participation from 58% to 89%. The program produced picture vocabulary cards, adapted English songs, and a reusable language-game guide. Its novelty lies in integrating role play, songs, and games into one structured sequence grounded in several grand theories, including the Affective Filter Hypothesis, Multiple Intelligences Theory, Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, Total Physical Response, Piaget's play theory, and Brown's principle of automaticity]]>
