Enhancing English Literacy through Collaborative Learning Programs for Middle School Students
Keywords:
English Literacy, Problem-Solving Collaboration, Learning Motivation, Community ServiceAbstract
The ability to master English literacy plays a crucial role in facing global competition. However, junior high school (SMP) students in Indonesia often struggle to acquire it. Factors such as less interactive teaching methods, low motivation, and limited learning facilities are the main obstacles. This community service program aims to improve the English literacy of 7th-grade students at SMP 5 Pamekasan Regency through a collaborative learning approach. This method is designed to encourage cooperation, discussion, and knowledge sharing among students, teachers, and researchers. The study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, involving teachers and students as participants. The observations and evaluations show an increase in student motivation, engagement, and understanding of English material. Pre-test and post-test assessments also indicate a significant improvement in students' literacy skills. This program is expected to serve as a model for other schools in enhancing students' English literacy through collaborative learning.
