Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilakukan sebagai wujud nyata upaya peningkatan kemampuan siswa-siswi dalam berbicara (speaking) bahasa Inggris. Sebagai salah satu aspek keterampilan berbahasa, keterampilan berbicara harus dengan giat dikembangkan. Kenyataan di lapangan menunjukan bahwa para lulusan baik pada tingkat sekolah maupun pada tingkat perguruan tinggi belum menunjukan kemampuan berbicara yang maksimal. Beberapa faktor penyebab diantaranya adalah  faktor psikologis dimana siswa-siswi tidak berbicara bahasa Inggris karena malu, takut salah dan kurang percaya diri. Minimnya kosa kata dan pengetahuan tata bahasa juga diketahui berkontribusi pada kemampuan berbicara siswa-siswi yang rendah. Penyebab lainnya adalah kurangnya ruang bagi siswa-siswi untuk mengembangkan diri disamping jam pelajaran yang sangat minim. Tim pelaksa pengabdian pada masyarakat ini memandang perlu adanya suatu tindakan untuk membantu siswa-siswi menigkatkan kemampuan berbicara mereka di luar jam sekolah. Program pengabdian ini memiliki dua tujuan utama. Pertama, meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara bahasa Inggris siswa/i melalui pelatihan pidato bahasa Inggris. Kedua, membantu siswa/i agar lebih percaya diri dalam berbicara bahasa Inggris. Metode pelaksanaan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah metode sosialisasi, tes, ceramah, pelatihan (workshop), dan bimbingan. Pelaksanaan kegiatan PKM ini dilaksanakan secara tatap muka dengan tetap memperhatikan protokol kesehatan. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini berjalan dengan baik dan lancar. Tim pelaksanaan PKM berharap kegiatan ini dapat meningkatkan motivasi siswa-siswi untuk meningkatkan kemampuan  berbicara (speaking)

Abstract

Bahasa Inggris berperan sebagai bahasa asing yang dipergunakan dalam pembelajaran sekolah-sekolah di NTT termasuk Kefamenanu khususnya SMPN Neonbat. Hasil observasi dari para pengabdi yakni dua orang dosen pendidikan bahasa Inggris Universitas Timor membuktikan bahwa kemampuan berbicara bahasa Inggris para siswa masih sangat minim. Hal ini dapat diamati dalam proses pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di dalam kelas di mana para siswa jarang menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Mereka cenderung menggunakan bahasa Indonesia saat pelajaran bahasa Inggris. Ini berakibat pada kurang tepatnya pengucapan kata bahasa Inggris yang mereka lafalkan. Bertolak dari hal tersebut, para pengabdi melakukan kegiatan pengabdian yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan speaking para siswa melalui reading sebagai pre-activity. Metode yang diimplementasikan dalam kegiatan ini adalah metode ceramah, diskusi, presentasi dan translation. Keempat metode tersebut terintegrasi dalam pengajaran langsung terkait skill yang ingin ditingkatkan yakni speaking. Para siswa diperkenalkan pada teks bahasa Inggris sederhana dan dibimbing untuk membaca teks tersebut. Para siswa juga dibimbing untuk memahami isi teks yang sudah dibaca. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa para siswa mengalami peningkatan dalam kosakata bahasa Inggris dan juga keberanian dalam berbicara bahasa Inggris.

The research method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method, which is examining an object by collecting, describing and analysing the data based on facts and then drawing conclusions according to the research objectives. In collecting the data, the writer used observation and interview techniques. The result of the study shows that the Naketi tradition is the original culture or custom of the atoin meto or dawan tribe. Naketi is believed to be a way out of conflicted communities so that they can get out from the problems they face. Naketi has been inherited by the ancestors and is a community obligation to be guarded and preserved.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not picture cards are effective in enhancing the vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMPN Kota Baru Kefamenanu, East Nusa Tenggara Province, to identify their difficulties in learning picture types and vocabulary, and to classify their level of mastery. This study used a qualitative approach and a quasi-experimental research methodology to answer the questions posed by the three examples. To collect the necessary data, 20 seventh-grade kids were used as samples. They were instructed and tested twice (pretest and posttest). This study compared the mean score to the degree of freedom at a significance level of 5% to determine the efficacy of using picture cards. To determine their average score, their total number of scores was divided by the total number of students multiplied by the entire number of test items multiplied by 100%. In addition, to identify the challenging types of picture and word, the total number of correct/incorrect answers was divided by the total number of students and the total number of test questions and multiplied by 100 percent. Finally, in order to classify their level of expertise, the total number of students whose scores varied from 0 to 100 was tallied. The analysis of the data indicates that there is a substantial difference between the pre-test and the post-test. It indicates that the mean score on the pre-test was 45.5 (extremely low), but the mean score on the post-test was 81 (excellent) (good). Moreover, the degree of freedom at a significance level of 5% was 1.61. It was greater than the result of the post-significant test's difference, 2.28>1.61. The seventh-grade pupils of SMP Negeri Kota Baru Kefamenanu benefit significantly from the use of picture cards to enhance their vocabulary comprehension.
