Abstract

Kesenjangan digital dan rendahnya kompetensi digital guru tetap menjadi tantangan utama dalam integrasi teknologi ke dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) mengembangkan Wordwall, Wayground, dan Brave AI guna mendukung pengembangan kosakata, tata bahasa, dan keterampilan berbicara siswa sekolah menengah kejuruan. Sesi tatap muka diadakan di SMKN 2 Salatiga bersama siswa kelas 10 dengan menggunakan permainan interaktif, kuis daring, dan latihan pengucapan yang dibantu AI. Di akhir sesi, para siswa mengisi Google Form untuk mengevaluasi kurikulum. Enam belas responden (62,5%) menilai lokakarya ini sangat bermanfaat; sisanya menilai lokakarya ini bermanfaat. Semua peserta menyatakan akan merekomendasikan sesi ini kepada teman mereka. Para siswa mengatakan bahwa belajar bahasa Inggris melalui situs web dan permainan lebih menyenangkan dan lebih mudah dipahami daripada melalui ceramah. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran berbasis teknologi dapat meningkatkan motivasi siswa meskipun menghadapi tantangan seperti akses internet yang tidak stabil
