Abstract
Background: Limited learning media, low student confidence in using English, and minimal use of mobile devices as learning tools are the background to this community service activity. Even though almost all students have smartphones that have great potential to be flexible, interesting learning tools, and in accordance with the learning styles of the digital generation. Objective: This Community Service Program aims to empower students at the Darun Najah Islamic Boarding School in Semarang through Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL)-based English learning. Method: Through a series of vocabulary training activities, speaking training, interactive practice using the Wordwall, Duolingo, Padlet, Google Docs, and Bamboozle applications, as well as intensive mentoring for four sessions, this program encourages the creation of a more communicative and meaningful learning experience. Evaluation was carried out through pre-posttests, observations, and partner satisfaction questionnaires. Result: The analysis results showed a significant increase in vocabulary mastery and understanding of English structures. The average student pre-test score increased from 63.69 to 85.38 in the post-test, with an increase in competence of 34.05%. From an affective perspective, 90% of students stated that app-based learning was more enjoyable and helped improve their speaking confidence. Partners also showed high satisfaction (score 4.6 out of 5), especially regarding the program's usefulness and sustainability. Conclusion: Overall, this program successfully bridges the world of Islamic boarding schools and the digital era through the use of humanistic, inclusive, and adaptive mobile technology. MALL based learning has proven effective in improving students' language competency, motivation, and learning independence in the Islamic boarding school context. This program is expected to become a model for sustainable learning in religious-based educational environments.
