Abstract:
Language teaching is a dynamic and evolving field that plays a crucial role in
communication, cultural exchange, and personal development. However, several
regions, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia, need more access to
teaching languages, especially English, where many Children need help accessing
English education adequately. Children inremote areas often exhibit rich linguistic
diversity, with communities speaking local languages. However, mainstream
educational approaches predominantly focus on widely spoken languages, leading
to the marginalization of local languages. This marginalization contributes to a
disconnect between the curriculum and the linguistic context of the learners,
hindering effective communication and understanding in the educational setting.
By conducting the "Learn Beyond Limits" project, we aim to overcome the
educational gap by providing a comprehensive English teaching program for
students in remote areas and implementing specific methods to increase the
students' willingness to learn English in Dusun Cilele, West Teluk Jambe District,
West Karawang Regency. In line with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)
number 4, which supports inclusive and quality education for all, this project
explores innovative strategies to enhance language teaching in such contexts by
conducting an Englishteaching program that is expected to become the beginning
of a sustainable contribution to the improvement of English language skills and
interests of the students at Dusun Cilele.
