Abstract

English proficiency is becoming an increasingly essential skill in the global era. However, many elementary and middle school students, as well as their parents, are still unaware of the long-term benefits of mastering this language. This community service program aims to improve children's English skills through the socialization and training of using the Basic English eBook in EPUB format in Gajahmungkur Village. The program involved 15 parents, who were introduced to the importance of English and trained on how to use the eBook as a self-learning tool for their children. The results showed a positive response from participants, who found the eBook to be an engaging and accessible learning solution. However, some parents faced difficulties in using digital technology, indicating the need for further guidance. Overall, this program successfully raised awareness among parents and provided an effective learning tool to support their children's independent English learning at home.
