Abstract
The ability to communicate in English has become essential, particularly in the global tourism industry. This study focuses on the role of a Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata or KKN) in enhancing students' English language skills at PGRI Tourism Vocational School in Majalengka and its impact on community development. The research evaluates the level of English language proficiency among students, the effectiveness of the KKN Program in improving language skills, and its contributions to the local community's development. The study employs various teaching methods, including lectures, collaborative learning, discussions, interactive sessions, demonstrations, presentations, and role-playing. Results show that the program positively influenced students' understanding of tourism culture and provided better educational and career opportunities in the tourism industry. The role of KKN students in assisting participants was perceived as contributory. This research aims to offer valuable insights for improving the quality of education and contributing to community progress in the era of globalization.
