Abstract:Pelaksanaan pengabdian ini didasari pada beberapa hasil penelitian sebelumnya yang mengungkapkan bahwa pembelajaran bahasa Inggris terhadap peserta didik kurang menggembirakan karena para peserta didik menganggap bahwa pelajaran…
elajaran bahasa Inggris itu sulit dipahami dan dimengerti. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Tambunsaribu, G. et.al (2021) mengungkapkan bahwa faktor penyebab masalah internal peserta didik itu sendiri dimana 77 % respondent yang mengatakan bahasa Inggris itu dianggap membingungkan dan sulit dipelajari. Dua puluh dua percent (22 %) respondent mengatakan materi berbicara (speaking) sulit dipelajari. Selain dari pada temuan penelitian di atas, hasil pengamatan pengabdi sendiri pada beberapa mahasiswa pada program studi di lingkungan Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, menemukan bahwa mahasiswa mengalami kesulitan mempelajari dan memahami bahasa Inggris, mungkin disebabkan oleh belum berkesesuaian strategi atau teknik pembelajaran bahasa Inggris yang mendorong mahasiswa untuk mengetahuinya dan merasa senang belajar. Oleh karena itu, melalui kesempatan ini, pengabdi melakukan pengabdian dalam bentuk pelatihan yaitu menawarkan suatu pendekatan atau teknik yang dapat membantu peserta didik atau mahasiswa mengurangi kebingungan dan kesulitan yang dirasakan selama ini. Pengabdi menawarkan pelatihan dengan menggunakan salah satu pembelajaran kooperatif dalam kelompok kecil, yaitu berpasang-pasangan dalam mengemukakan ide, pikiran masing-masing sesuai dengan apa yang dikehendaki oleh pasangannya. Hasil penelitian Susanti dan Linaris (2021) mengungkap bahwa siswa yang menggunakan metode diskusi kelompok kecil memiliki lebih banyak kesempatan untuk berkontribusi dalam diskusi kelas. Selanjutnya hasil penelitian mereka, juga mengungkap bahwa salah satu strategi atau teknik yang dapat membantu siswa dalam meningkatkan keterampilan berkomunikasi adalah melalui diskusi kelompok kecil. Temuan-temuan penelitian dan hasil pengamatan tersebut, membuat para pengabdi akan memperaktikkan salah satu strategi atau teknik diskusi kelompok kecil, yaitu terdiri dari 2 (dua) orang saling bercakap-cakap (berbicara) sesuai dengan tema bahasa Inggris yang diberikan. Teknik pembelajaran dalam pelatihan ini adalah ‘Information Gap Activities (IGA)’ dimana masing-masing mahasiswa mempunyai peran. Oleh karena itu, tahapan pelaksanaan dalam pelatihan ini dimulai dari pengumpulan bahan pelatihan berupa topik-topik percakapan bahasa Inggris yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan mahasiswa, kemudian mahasiswa berlatih dengan memberikan kesempatan yang sama kepada masing-masing pasangan untuk memperaktikkannya sesuai peran masing-masing, dan pada akhir pelatihan, instruktur (pengabdi) memberikan penguatan tentang kegiatan yang telah dilakukan untuk menambah wawasan tentang apa yang telah diperaktikkan. Melalui pelatihan ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan rasa ingin tahu mahasiswa, menambah pengetahuan bahasa Inggris, sehingga dengan sadar mempraktikkan sendiri bersama temannya melalui percakapan bahasa Inggris yang sehari-hari mahasiswa gunakan dan alami.

Abstract:Parents, especially mothers, have taught the ability to speak good and correct Indonesian since early childhood. However, many still do not understand affixes in Indonesian vocabulary. In the school environment, Indonesian…
an is a mandatory subject that students must study at every grade level in elementary school. Affixes in a sentence can provide and change the meaning and function of the sentence and the type of sentence itself. Affixes are used and adjusted to the sentences or specific paragraphs used. The purpose of the community service conducted by the KKM 41group students of Universitas Bina Bangsa, is to convey the knowledge they have acquired at the campus. The method used in this service is to educate elementary school students about affixes to improve their Indonesian language skills. The result of this service is that the students have a better understanding of learning affixes and practice directly by taking a test to assess their knowledge, with the test results being excellent.
Abstract: The ability to speak English is very important, especially for coastal communities such as those on Tegal Island, which has tourism potential. However, students at the Pesona Pulau Tegal Community Learning Center (PKBM)…
KBM) still have difficulty communicating, especially in English, because learning has tended to be conventional, focusing on memorization and grammar rather than practical communication. This creates a gap between the need for speaking skills and the teaching methods used, reinforcing students' fear and lack of confidence. Based on these issues, this Community Service activity aims to improve students' speaking skills through the application of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method integrated with the Playful English approach, which involves enjoyable learning through games, role-play, and creative activities. The methods used include guided speaking exercises, conversation simulations, and collaborative projects such as creating promotional posters for beach tourism in English. The results show a significant improvement in students' fluency, confidence, and active participation. Students began to speak more boldly, practice simple sentences, and express ideas spontaneously. The classroom atmosphere became livelier and more enjoyable with minimal psychological barriers such as fear of making mistakes. The implications of this activity are that the CLT approach combined with elements of joy can serve as an effective learning model in non-formal institutions. This method not only enhances language skills but also empowers students socially and emotionally, and can be replicated in similar communities.
Abstract:This study aims to examine the effect of implementing the Sam'iyah Syafawiyah method based on a communicative approach on students' self-confidence in speaking Arabic through a library research approach. The study employs…
s a qualitative method with a systematic literature review, analyzing and synthesizing scientific sources including books, international and national journals, articles, proceedings, and relevant research findings. Data sources were obtained from scientific databases such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, ScienceDirect, ERIC, and national digital repositories. The findings consistently demonstrate that the Sam'iyah Syafawiyah method integrated with the communicative approach has a positive and significant influence on students' self-confidence in speaking Arabic. This effect operates through four main mechanisms: (1) repetitive drilling builds mastery experience; (2) native speaker audio models provide vicarious experience; (3) the communicative approach reduces affective filters; and (4) intensive practice promotes automaticity in Arabic speech production. This study concludes that the integration of both methods constitutes an effective and recommended pedagogical strategy for improving self-confidence in Arabic speaking.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh penerapan metode Sam'iyah Syafawiyah berbasis pendekatan komunikatif terhadap kepercayaan diri peserta didik dalam berbicara bahasa Arab melalui pendekatan library research (studi kepustakaan). Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan kajian literatur sistematis, yakni menganalisis dan mensintesis berbagai sumber ilmiah berupa buku, jurnal nasional dan internasional, artikel, prosiding, dan hasil penelitian yang relevan. Sumber data diperoleh dari berbagai basis data ilmiah seperti Google Scholar, JSTOR, ScienceDirect, ERIC, dan repositori digital nasional. Hasil kajian secara konsisten menunjukkan bahwa metode Sam'iyah Syafawiyah yang diintegrasikan dengan pendekatan komunikatif memberikan pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kepercayaan diri peserta didik dalam berbicara bahasa Arab. Pengaruh ini bekerja melalui empat mekanisme utama: (1) latihan drill berulang membangun mastery experience; (2) model audio native speaker memberikan vicarious experience; (3) pendekatan komunikatif menurunkan filter afektif; dan (4) latihan intensif mendorong otomatisasi produksi ujaran bahasa Arab. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa integrasi kedua metode tersebut merupakan strategi pedagogis yang efektif dan direkomendasikan untuk meningkatkan kepercayaan diri berbicara bahasa Arab.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the concepts, characteristics, principles, and dimensions of assessment in Arabic language learning, particularly in the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The study…
dy employed a qualitative approach using a library research design that focused on conceptual analysis of various academic literature relevant to language assessment. The data were collected through documentation techniques from books, scientific journal articles, and academic publications related to the evaluation of Arabic language learning. The data were then analyzed using content analysis to identify, classify, and synthesize various concepts related to language assessment practices. The findings reveal that assessment in Arabic language learning should be authentic, contextual, and oriented toward communicative competence, while integrating linguistic elements with language skills. In addition, assessment should be conducted based on the principles of validity, reliability, objectivity, practicality, transparency, fairness, and sustainability. The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive explanation of the assessment dimensions across the four Arabic language skills, along with their indicators and assessment techniques. These findings provide implications for educators in designing Arabic language assessments that are more systematic, communicative, and relevant to language learning objectives.

ion of the CLL model, and (3) whether there is a significant effect of the CLL model on students’ speaking competence. The population of this study consisted of 248 tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 5 Padangsidimpuan. Using systematic sampling, a total of 35 students were selected as the sample. This research employed an experimental method. Data were collected through observation and speaking tests, and the results were analyzed using a paired-sample t-test. The findings revealed that the application of the CLL model on students’ speaking ability scored 3.6, categorized as “Very Good”. The students’ mean speaking score before the implementation of CLL was 78.51 (“Good”), which increased to 83.42 (“Very Good”) after the treatment. The t-test calculation yielded a t-value of 7.15, which exceeds the critical t-value of 2.03 at a 5% significance level (df = 35). Therefore, it is concluded that there is a statistically significant effect of the Community Language Learning model on students’ speaking competence among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 5 Padangsidimpuan.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the communication strategy employed by the NEI-DT Foundation in building community trust through a community-based healthcare service program in Tritunggal Hamlet, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra,…
tra, Indonesia. The study is motivated by the importance of organizational communication strategies in enhancing public participation and program legitimacy within rural communities characterized by limited access to information, geographical constraints, and community-oriented social structures. Adopting a constructivist paradigm, this research employs a qualitative approach using an intrinsic case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and document analysis involving seven informants, including foundation representatives, community leaders, and program beneficiaries. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, encompassing data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the foundation’s communication strategy involves identifying community characteristics, developing simple and contextually relevant messages, utilizing a combination of digital and traditional communication channels, and engaging local leaders as communication intermediaries. Program information is disseminated through village heads, neighborhood leaders, women’s community groups (PKK), social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook, and mosque loudspeaker announcements. The study further demonstrates that the communication pattern reflects the Two-Step Flow of Communication model, in which community leaders function as opinion leaders who mediate organizational messages before they reach the wider community. Community trust is cultivated through the social legitimacy of local leaders, interpersonal communication, direct experiences with program benefits, and the consistency of services provided by the foundation. The study concludes that the effectiveness of community-based organizational communication strategies in rural settings is determined not only by message content and media utilization but also by the organization’s ability to establish interpersonal relationships, adapt communication practices to local cultural contexts, and actively involve community leaders within the communication network. This research contributes to the advancement of community-based organizational communication studies by providing empirical insights into trust-building processes in rural community development programs
