This community service activity aims to create awareness and knowledge in children about how important English is for them in the future and increase children's motivation. This activity was attended by 30 children. Analysis of pre-test and post-test data showed a significant increase in their English knowledge after the learning activities. There was a substantial increase in minimum and maximum scores, with the mean score increasing from 59.40 to 88.26. A lower standard deviation in the post-test indicates uniform understanding of English among children. Creative and innovative learning methods, including the use of interactive games, have proven effective in increasing children's interest and understanding of English from 4 to 14 years old. Post-activity evaluations and attention to health and safety, especially in a global pandemic, are also taken into account. This activity confirms that learning is successful in significantly improving children's understanding of English, providing a strong foundation for the development of English language skills in the future.</em></p> Ludovikus Ludovikus Yurita Mailintina Ribka Sabarina Panjaitan Nanik Supriyani Copyright (c) 2024 Ludovikus, Yurita Mailintina, Ribka Sabarina Panjaitan, Nanik Supriyani https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-06-26 2024-06-26 3 1 25 33 10.52075/ja.v3i1.429 PEMBINAAN KEPEMIMPINAN ORANG MUDA KATOLIK: DI PAROKI KUALA DUA DAN BEDUAI KEUSKUPAN SANGGAU https://ejournal.stakatnpontianak.ac.id/index.php/amare/article/view/430 <p><em>This activity is motivated by developments in science and technology, especially in the field of telecommunications, which are currently sweeping the world. As future leaders of the people who are expected by the church to be able to actively develop church life, they are required to be wiser and able to teach young Catholics around them regarding the main negative impacts of the development of telecommunications technology. With the development of science and digital, humans experience amnesia, forgetting their identity. This is also what is happening to young Catholics in the Sanggau Diocese who are being hit by the mastery of science and the development of the digital world. This community service was carried out for two days, in the Beduai parish in the Sanggau Diocese. The method of this activity is education for young people, starting with the presentation of material in each session and continuing with reflection in the form of revealing responses from the participants. The atmosphere of the activity was held in a lively manner accompanied by music. This activity was successful in increasing teenagers' understanding of leadership and efforts to overcome the impact of developments in communication technology that could threaten their Catholic faith.</em></p> Kristianus Kristianus Laurentius Prasetyo Thomas Kuslin Magdalena Magdalena Carolina Lala Mikael Dou Lodo Copyright (c) 2024 Kristianus Kristianus, Laurentius Prasetyo, Thomas Kuslin, Magdalena Magdalena, Carolina Lala, Mikael Dou Lodo https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-06-26 2024-06-26 3 1 34 41 10.52075/ja.v3i1.430 PELATIHAN GURU DALAM PENGGUNAAN PLATFORM PEMBELAJARAN DARING DI SMP SANTO FRANSISKUS ASISI PONTIANAK https://ejournal.stakatnpontianak.ac.id/index.php/amare/article/view/435 <p><em>At the beginning of 2020, the world faced the significant impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including on the education sector in Indonesia.
