Abstract
Early childhood English language learning at Mawaddah Kindergarten Banjarmasin has long faced significant pedagogical challenges due to a reliance on conventional, static teaching media that lack integration of digital technology and fail to reflect the unique local geographical ecosystem of South Kalimantan’s wetlands, resulting in low student engagement. This community service initiative aims to transform these teaching methods by introducing innovative, interactive media based on local wetland wisdom. The project successfully implemented custom QR-code-based Interactive Flashcards that dynamically bridge physical cards and immersive digital assets, such as native-speaker audio and vibrant visual animations, using a collaborative Participatory Action Research approach that included comprehensive socialization, hands-on digital pedagogical training for teachers, structured classroom application, and continuous evaluation. The integration of this low-cost, high-impact technology successfully enhanced young students' vocabulary retention and memory, stimulated active participation in learning, and significantly strengthened educators' sustainable digital literacy, providing a highly scalable and contextualized model for localized digital early childhood learning.
