Kegiatan PKM ini adalah kegiatan PKM tim FKIP UNKLAB berbentuk pelatihan penggunaan Bahasa Inggris dalam kegiatan pembelajaran guru-guru di SD dan SMP Advent Tanawangko. Persekolahan ini dimiliki oleh organisasi Gereja Masehi Advent Hari Ketujuh Uni Konferens Indonesia Kawasan Timur (GMAHK UKIKT). Organisasi ini memiliki program menjadikan persekolahan Advent sekolah dwibahasa atau bilingual: Indonesia-Inggris. Kemampuan Bahasa Inggris para guru SD dan SMP Advent Tanawangko masih rendah. Itu sebabnya mereka ingin meningkatkan kemampuan dalam berBahasa Inggris sebagai respon atas program GMAHK UKIKT melalui pelatihan. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan ini, tim PKM FKIP UNKLAB telah menyusun sebuah silabus notional/functional yang memiliki tiga kompetensi yang akan dikembangkan. Kompetensi pertama (Competency 1) adalah kemampuan menggunakan Bahasa Inggris di awal pembelajaran, kompetensi kedua (Competency 2) adalah kemampuan menggunakan Bahasa Inggris pada kegiatan pembelajaran inti, dan kompetensi ketiga (Competency 3) adalah kemampuan menggunakan Bahasa Inggris pada kegiatan penutupan pembelajaran. Untuk mengevaluasi hasil pelatihan ini, tim juga telah menyusun sebuah asesmen awal yaitu sebuah tes online dan melakukan dua asesmen akhir yaitu interaksi langsung dengan peserta latihan dan asesmen video. Evaluasi hasil menunjukkan bahwa sebagian peserta telah mampu menggunakan Bahasa Inggris dalam pembelajaran.
This study was to determine the level of parental involvement, the level of students' motivation in learning English, and the correlation between parental involvement and students' motivation in learning English. This study used quantitative designs. The instruments of this study were questionnaires adapted from Ekiz and Kulmetov (2015) and Amin, Juriah, and Isa (2001) for measuring parental involvement and an adapted questionnaire for students’ motivation from the Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (2005). This study was conducted to 52 grade 10 – 12 Science students at a private school in Balikpapan enrolled in the first semester of the academic year 2021/2022. The results showed that parental involvement was moderate (M= 3.38). Specifically, parental involvement in terms of parents as motivators was high (M=3.55), while parents as educators (M=3.34) and parents as facilitators (M=3.12) were moderate. Moreover, the results showed that students’ motivation in learning English was high (M=3.82). Specifically, intrinsic motivation was high (M=4.17) and extrinsic motivation was moderate (M=3.40). Lastly, it was found that there was a significant correlation between parental involvement and students’ motivation in learning English as the results show p=.000 < 0.005, r=.537. Therefore, it is recommended that parents be more involved so students can be more motivated in learning English.
This study was to figure out the correlation between students' anxiety in learning English and their English achievement. This study used a quantitative design that was descriptive and correlational. The instrument of this study was adapted from Park (2012), based on Horwitz, Horwitz, and Cope (1986), and the result of the English academic achievement was taken from the students' mid-semester grades in English class. This study was conducted on 41 students of grade XI in a private high school in North Sulawesi. The results showed that the students' anxiety in learning English was moderate (M=3.17), and their English academic achievement was categorized as failed (M=71.34). Finally, it was found that there was a significant correlation between students' anxiety in learning English and their English academic achievement as the result p = .00 <0.05, r= .98. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers try to find more creative methods and strategies to support and help the students improve their English.

Abstract. This research aimed to find out the correlation between students’ satisfaction with e-learning and their English achievement. This was a quantitative study that used descriptive and correlational research designs. The instruments used in this study were a questionnaire adopted from Liaw (2007) and the students’ final English class grades. Seventy-nine 11th-grade students enrolled at one of the private high schools in North Sulawesi in the first semester of the academic year 2020/2021 participated in this study. It was found that the students were satisfied with e-learning (M=3.48) and their English achievement was very good (M=91.62). Regarding the correlation between the two variables, a significant correlation was found between students’ satisfaction with e-learning and their English achievement with p=.000 < 0.005, r=.441. Thus, teachers should always ensure that students are satisfied with their e-learning so that their English achievement can also be maximized.Keywords: e-learning, English achievement, students’ satisfactionAbstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kepuasan siswa dengan e-learning dan pencapaian bahasa Inggris mereka. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain penelitian deskriptif dan korelasional. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah angket yang diadopsi dari Liaw (2007) dan nilai akhir siswa di kelas Bahasa Inggris. Responden dari penelitian ini adalah 79 siswa kelas XI yang terdaftar di salah satu SMA Swasta di Sulawesi Utara pada semester I tahun ajaran 2020/2021. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah siswa puas dengan e-learning (M=3,48) dan prestasi bahasa Inggris mereka sangat baik (M=91,62). Berkenaan dengan korelasi antara kedua variabel, ditemukan korelasi yang signifikan antara kepuasan siswa dengan e-learning dan prestasi bahasa Inggris mereka dengan p=.000 < 0.005, r=.441. Oleh karena itu, guru perlu selalu memastikan bahwa siswa puas dengan e-learning mereka sehingga pencapaian bahasa Inggris mereka juga dapat maksimal.Kata kunci: e-learning, kepuasan siswa, pencapaian bahasa Inggris
