Origami is one of the arts in folding paper from Japan. Through this origami workshop, not only adults, even the children, could increase their imagination and creativity in the early years. Based on this reason, Japanese Department of Universitas Andalas carried out the Origami workshop to the children in the PAUD Jannatul Nai'em Sungai Buluh. This workshop is a part of community service as the lecturer of the University. The workshop activity provided three sessions. The first session was to give an introduction about origami for understanding, history, types, and benefits of origami. The second session was training on making origami in various forms. Then the last session was evaluation, which aims to confirm whether the children could absorb the material well and whether the children could work on the process of making origami on their own. This activity was very beneficial for children in improving their motoric skills. Origami is an alternative skill game where the skill games begin to abandon due to the presence of a smartphone and other digital gadgets.Kata Kunci: anak usia dini, kreativitas, origami ABSTRAK Keterampilan origami merupakan salah satu kesenian berupa keterampilan melipat kertas dari Jepang.

Analyzing literature work using literary theory for students in the Undergraduate Program of Japanese Studies, Universitas Andalas has not become prevalent. Students still focus on the subject related to Japanese language skills, which is an absolute requirement to graduate and hold a bachelor's degree. However, for students who are interested in literature and writing a thesis on literature, in addition to the ability to read Japanese literary works, they are also required to be able to analyze these works. Most of the students majoring in literature have difficulty in writing ideas. Thus, the sociology of literature subject that examines social issues contained in literary works carried out a group presentation method. Lectures divide students into small groups of 3 to 4 students. Then, each group made a brief paper with three parts: the intrinsic elements, social issues in work, and analysis of the work related to the data with the sociology theory. Each group had the opportunity to present three times with the three parts described above. Students and their groups of peers discuss a literary work, analyze it together, and then present the analysis results to the class. The implementation of this group presentation teaching method has known that students have an easier time understanding how to analyze literary works. Students have trained themselves to convey their ideas and thoughts after analyzing literary works through oral and written.
