Pelatihan Keterampilan Presentasi Bahasa Inggris bagi Remaja Musala Al-Hidayah di Tangerang Kota English Presentation Skills Training for the Youth of Al-Hidayah Musala in Tangerang City

Abstract

This community service program aimed to provide positive activities for youth in order to enliven the mosque while equipping them with skills that support their learning at school, particularly English presentation skills. The partner for this program was the youth community of Al-Hidayah Musala in Tanah Tinggi, Tangerang City. The main problems faced by the partner included the limited number of volunteers who could provide training for the youth, the lack of non-formal educational activities to enhance their general knowledge, and limited access to additional English learning outside school. To address these problems, the community service team conducted an English presentation training program using a participatory approach consisting of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. The training activities included material presentations, discussions, guided practice, performance presentations, and feedback sessions. The materials were designed in context, based on the participants’ daily experiences, so they could be understood and practiced more easily. The results of the program showed that the training improved the participants’ basic understanding of the structure and techniques of English presentations, provided them with direct experience in speaking in front of an audience, and increased their confidence in using simple English. In addition, this program also strengthened the role of the musala as a productive and educational space for youth development. Therefore, English presentation training for the youth of Al-Hidayah Musala can serve as a relevant form of non-formal education in supporting youth capacity building within the community.
