The Faculty of Adab and
Humanities, Alauddin State Islamic University of Makassar held a community
service program in collaboration with the DDI Mangkoso Islamic Boarding School
and was attended by four departments; English Language and Literature, Arabic

This activity was held for one day and located at the DDI Mangkoso Barru
Islamic Boarding School, South Sulawesi.
Focusing on the English
Language and Literature department, the head of the department Dr. Rosmah Tami,
S.Ag., M.Sc., M.A., sent several students and lecturers to carry out service at
MA Putri DDI Mangkoso, located at Campus III Bulu Lampung, Mangkosos Village,
Soppeng Raja District, Barru Regency, South Sulawesi Province. Raising the service
theme "Speak up your confidence" describes the hope for MA Putri DDI
Mangkoso students to be able to boldly express their opinions using English.
This community service process
is applied in a short form of teaching regarding how students are able to
develop their confidence in using English. The importance of English in life is
explained by Dr. Djumharia Jamereng. M. Hum as supervisor in her closing
statement, said that learning English is not an instant thing, to build
self-confidence you cannot just use it one day during service, learning English
requires extraordinary perseverance to master it. Therefore, he expressed the
hope that community service carried out by students and lecturers majoring in
English language and literature could be an incentive for students to develop
their skills.
The same hope was expressed by
the head of the MA Putri DDI Mangkoso Islamic boarding school.
