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.

ion programs is determined not only by the availability of educational access but also by learners’ participation in the learning process. This study aims to analyze the strengthening of educational access and learner participation through the equivalency education program at PKBM Minda Utama, Bandung City. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving PKBM managers, tutors, and learners. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that educational access was strengthened through flexible learning schedules, simplified administrative requirements, and continuous program socialization to the community. Learner participation was reflected in active engagement during learning activities, supported by communicative, contextual, and needs-based learning approaches. The success of the program was supported by managerial commitment, tutor competence, and increasing public awareness of the importance of education, while economic constraints, work demands, and limited facilities remained challenges. The study concludes that educational access and learner participation are interrelated dimensions that determine the success of equivalency education programs. Therefore, strengthening both dimensions should be viewed as an integrated effort to improve the effectiveness of equivalency education and support lifelong learning

The study used a descriptive qualitative method with the research location at PKBM Buana Mekar, Bandung Regency. The research subjects consisted of PKBM managers, tutors, and Package C learners. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the planning function has been carried out through identifying community needs and preparing flexible learning programs. The organizing function is seen from the division of tutor tasks and a clear organizational structure. The implementation function is carried out through andragogy-based learning with lectures, discussions, questions and answers, and skills practice methods. Meanwhile, the supervisory function is carried out through learning evaluation, attendance monitoring, andsupervision of skills practice. Although the program's implementation has been quite successful, several obstacles remain, such as limited digital learning media, unstable student attendance rates, and suboptimal utilization of practical facilities. Overall, the Package C Program at Buana Mekar Community Learning Center (PKBM) has systematically implemented management functions to support the community empowerment process through equivalency education

e application of appropriate learning approaches, one of which is through the andragogi approach. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the andragogy approach in Package B learning at PKBM Citra Priangan, identify its supporting and inhibiting factors, and determine its impact on the involvement of learning residents. The research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using Miles, Huberman's model. The results of the study show that the principles of andragogy have been applied through experiential learning, participatory methods, learning flexibility, and the development of life skills programs. Supporting factors include family culture, tutor competence, and learning flexibility, while inhibiting factors are limited facilities, learning environment conditions, and heterogeneity of learning residents. The implementation of andragogy has been proven to increase the participation, motivation, and involvement of learning residents in the learning process. Thus, the andragogy approach effectively supports the implementation of Package B learning that is more relevant to the needs of learning residents

Abstrak: Minat baca masyarakat yang rendah karena tingkat kebiasaan membaca membaca juga rendah, termasuk di PKBM Gempita. PKBM Gempita sudah memiliki Taman Bacaan Masyarakat (TBM). Namun, membaca belum menjadi kegiatan rutin literasi di PKBM ini sehingga kemampuan membaca warga belajar belum baik. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, tujuan pelaksanaan PKM ini adalah melakukan pelatihan kegiatan membaca yang bermakna dengan menerapkan Teknik Sprites untuk meningkatkan kemampuan membaca warga belajar. Metode pelaksanaan dilakukan dengan tahap persiapan, pelatihan, penerapan teknologi, pendampingan, dan evaluasi kegiatan. Teknik Sprites terdiri atas lima langkah, yaitu meningkatkan minat dan motivasi, meningkatkan periferal, meningkatkan kecepatan gerakan mata, melakukan survei wacana, dan meningkatkan konsentrasi. Penerapan teknik tersebut telah dilakukan dalam pelatihan dengan hasil yang cukup baik, yaitu terjadi peningkatan kemampuan membaca peserta pelatihan berdasarkan hasil pretes dan postes. Kemampuan membaca peserta pascapelatihan adalah 19% pada kategori baik sekali, 54% pada kategori baik, dan 27% pada kategori sedang. Hal tersebut bisa terjadi karena beberapa faktor, satu di antaranya adalah kesadaran dalam latihan mandiri peserta di rumah belum maksimal. Proses latihan harus dilakukan intensif agar memperoleh hasil maksimal.

akan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus tunggal. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan dokumentasi, dengan satu tutor sebagai informan utama. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai humanisme tercermin dalam sikap tutor yang menghargai keberagaman warga belajar dan menciptakan suasana pembelajaran yang nyaman serta mendukung. Nilai pragmatisme tampak melalui metode pembelajaran yang fleksibel dan berorientasi pada pengalaman nyata peserta didik. Adapun nilai eksistensialisme diwujudkan melalui pemberian kesempatan kepada warga belajar untuk mengembangkan kesadaran diri, memilih strategi belajar, dan bertanggung jawab atas proses belajarnya. PKBM berperan sebagai lembaga pendidikan nonformal yang menyediakan akses belajar terjangkau dan berfokus pada pemberdayaan masyarakat. Meskipun masih terdapat kendala, seperti keterbatasan fasilitas dan kebutuhan peningkatan kompetensi tutor, penerapan nilai-nilai filsafat pendidikan di PKBM menunjukkan perkembangan positif menuju pembelajaran yang lebih humanis, kontekstual, dan memberdayakan. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi acuan dalam pengembangan praktik pembelajaran pada lembaga pendidikan nonformal.
