This year, Trisakti Institute of Tourism has a program called 'Service Learning', where all of the student who got score higher than 750 in TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) are divided into 11 separate group ranging from 4 students until 9 students each group. Each group are given 5 different task that they can choose either one and complete it in a group. The choices are as such: Making a Newsletter. Making an English Event at the Campus Fun English in Community English Language Seminar with the

During the Service Learning program, we decided to make a newsletter. I got paired up with Muhammad Irsyad as my partner, we are tasked to interview one of the member from the other group about their activity and we have to make a newspaper report about it.

We got to Interview Suyizka, a member from Group 7 who chose to do the Fun English. His group went to PAUD (Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini) or playgroup at Sabilayasaroh, Cinere - Depok during midNovember.

They have taught the kids in PAUD for three times, the first time was on the 13th of November, the second was on the 18th and the last time was on the 25th. Each day, they taught the students different things and each session has

the students also felt familiar with them. Suyizka's gave a certificate as a token of appreciation. The response from the students were positives and they enjoyed their teaching method because it was very fun. The students were also obedient, polite and very active during the lesson which gave motivation to Group 7 to teach them more, and also made them adapt to the whole new teaching situation faster and more effective. Suyizka noted that teaching little kids was very fun, it helped them to be more cheerful and vibrant during the lesson. He also said that it was one of the most pleasant experiences ever.

During the second day, they taught the students about body parts, colors and also did a little bit of review about all the things they have been taught so far, they used games and singing. Since it is the second time they have been teaching there, the students were getting used to their method and also grew fond of them, it also made Suyizka's group a little bit more relaxed when teaching the students. During the last day, they added more subject about transportations and animals, also, like in the previous days, they also reviewed about everything they have been teaching to the students.

good to be applied when it comes to teaching kids from playgroup, because it's not boring and it could make the kids more active when learning English. Because in some cases, teaching little kids English could be very hard because they are not easy to be taught and they could also get bored very fast. We also think that this whole Service Learning program is useful for student like us to maximize our proficiency in English by doing something like teaching little kids English or by making a newsletter or a newspaper report.

They teach them with passion even though kids are hard to teach at, they try their best to make them understand.
