Pelatihan professional English for educators untuk meningkatkan world-class teaching competences bagi guru SMPN 9 Payakumbuh
Abstract
Abstrak
Perkembangan pendidikan abad ke-21 menuntut guru memiliki kompetensi yang adaptif, termasuk penguasaan bahasa Inggris profesional untuk mengakses sumber belajar global dan mengadopsi inovasi pembelajaran internasional. Namun, guru di SMPN 9 Payakumbuh masih menghadapi keterbatasan dalam menguasai bahasa Inggris pedagogik, sehingga berdampak pada rendahnya pemanfaatan referensi global dan kurangnya adaptasi desain pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan generasi Z. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan world-class teaching competences guru melalui Pelatihan Professional English for Educators (PEE). Kegiatan pengabdian dilaksanakan pada tanggal 25–26 Juli 2025 dengan 20 guru sebagai peserta pelatihan. Metode kegiatan dilaksanakan melalui beberapa tahapan, yaitu sosialisasi, pelatihan, penerapan teknologi, pendampingan, dan evaluasi. Pelatihan difokuskan pada dua aspek utama yaitu peningkatan kemampuan memahami teks akademik, menyusun instruksi pembelajaran dalam bahasa Inggris, serta pemanfaatan teknologi berbasis Artificial Intelligence (AI) seperti Grammarly dan ChatGPT untuk mendukung pengembangan materi dan evaluasi pembelajaran. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman guru dalam penggunaan bahasa Inggris profesional, kepercayaan diri dalam berkomunikasi di kelas, serta keterampilan memanfaatkan teknologi digital untuk mendukung pembelajaran. Meskipun masih terdapat kendala waktu praktik dan kelancaran berbicara, pelatihan ini telah memberikan fondasi awal yang kuat bagi guru untuk meningkatkan kompetensi pengajaran berstandar global. Kegiatan ini disarankan untuk dilanjutkan melalui pendampingan berkelanjutan serta pengembangan komunitas belajar internal agar manfaatnya lebih luas dan berkesinambungan.

Abstract
The development of 21st-century education requires teachers to possess adaptive competencies, including professional English proficiency that enables them to access global learning resources and adopt international instructional innovations. However, teachers at SMPN 9 Payakumbuh still face limitations in mastering pedagogical English, which has resulted in the low utilization of global references and limited adaptation of instructional designs that align with the needs of Generation Z learners. This community service program aims to enhance teachers’ world-class teaching competences through the Professional English for Educators (PEE) Training. The program was implemented on 25–26 July 2025 and involved 20 teachers as participants. The implementation consisted of several stages, namely socialization, training, technology application, mentoring, and evaluation. The training focused on two main aspects: improving teachers’ ability to comprehend academic texts and develop instructional guidelines in English, as well as utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI)–based tools such as Grammarly and ChatGPT to support the development of teaching materials and learning assessments. The results indicate improvements in teachers’ understanding of professional English, confidence in classroom communication, and skills in using digital technologies to support teaching and learning. Although challenges remained—particularly limited practice time and fluency in speaking—the training provided a strong initial foundation for teachers to enhance their global-standard teaching competence. It is recommended that this program be continued through sustained mentoring and the establishment of internal learning communities to ensure broader and long-term benefits.
