Abstract

Pengajaran bahasa Inggris merupakan salah satu mata pelajaran wajib di tingkat sekolah menengah pertama dan atas di Indonesia. Namun praktik pengajaran mata pelajaran bahasa Inggris di sekolah dasar belum dilaksanakan secara seragam. bahasa Inggris diajarkan sebagai mata pelajaran lokal di beberapa sekolah, meskipun di sekolah lain dijadikan mata pelajaran wajib. Seperti halnya yang terjadi di daerah Dukuh Genjeng, Desa Karakan, Kecamatan Weru, Kabupaten Sukoharjo, Jawa Tengah. Banyak sekolah dasar di daerah belum menerapkan mata pelajaran bahasa Inggrissebagai mata pelajaran wajib, sehingga berdampak dengan pengetahuan, pemahaman serta motivasi anak-anak sekolah dasar untuk belajar bahasa Inggris. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan edukasi literasi bahasa Inggris dan motivasi belajar bahasa Inggriskepada peserta kegiatan pengabdian di Rumah Baca Mutiara Hati yang merupakan siswa sekolah dasar setempat dengan metode Flashcard yang dikemas dengan Fun Game serta melibatkan Native Speaker berbahasa Inggris sebagai pengenalan berinteraksi secara langsung dengan International Community. Metode dalam pelatihan ini adalah penyampaian materi oleh dua pelaksana pengabdi yang menjelaskan materi kosakata (vocabulary) bahasa Inggrispengabdi pertama dan penerapan Flashcard oleh pengabdi kedua bersama Native Speaker.  Dari kegiatan pengabdian ini ditemukan bahwa peserta semakin meningkat dalam hal penguasaan Vocabulary bahasa Inggrisdan motivasinya untuk belajar lebih banyak tentang bahasa Inggris. Lebih lanjut peserta juga merasa memiliki kepercayaan diri yang lebih baik ketika berinteraksi dengan masyarakat Internasional seperti halnya berinteraksi dengan Native yang ikut serta dalam kegiatan pengabdian ini dimana peserta tidak canggung untuk bertanya dan memberikan tanggapan ketika berkomunikasi dengan Native yang merupakan bagian dari masyarakat internasional.

Teaching English is one of the mandatory subjects at junior and senior high school levels in Indonesia. However, the practice of teaching English subjects in elementary schools has not been implemented uniformly. English is taught as a local subject in some schools, although in others it is a compulsory subject. As happened in the Dukuh Genjeng area, Karakan Village, Weru District, Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java. Many elementary schools in the regions have not implemented English as a compulsory subject, so this has an impact on the knowledge, understanding and motivation of elementary school children to learn English.  This service activity aims to provide English literacy education and motivation to learn English to participants in service activities at Rumah Baca Mutiara Hati who are local elementary school students using the Flashcard method which is packaged with a fun game and involving one native speaker who speaks English as an introduction to interactive interaction. directly with the International Community. The method in this training is the delivery of material by two service providers who explain the first service provider's English vocabulary material and the application of Flashcards by the second service provider together with a Native Speaker. From this service activity, it was found that participants increased their knowledge of English Vocabulary and their motivation to learn more about English. Furthermore, participants also felt they had better self-confidence when interacting with the international community, such as interacting with natives who took part in this service activity, where participants were not embarrassed to ask questions and provide responses when communicating with natives who were part of the international community.
