The vocabulary of the Banjar Pabaungan language is slightly different from most of the Hulu languages ​​in South Kalimantan. Differences in vocabulary in the Banjar Pabaungan language are an obstacle for people to communicate with people outside the region. This research aims to enrich knowledge of regional languages ​​that are not widely known to the public. This research uses qualitative methods from interviews, asking questions, documentation, and interacting with the researcher's parents as research subjects. Researchers also use comparative methods to compare two or more languages ​​that originate from a common ancestor. Samples of kakarik, kalamari, and sabura vocabulary were obtained. The vocabulary of kakarik comes from the Bakumpai language which means broom made from dried coconut tree leaf sticks. The word kalamari comes from the Bukit language, meaning dusk. The word sabura is the name of a boat propeller engine called jukung in Banjar language. The Banjar Pabaungan language shows a variety of vocabulary that reflects the cultural identity of the local community. Research on vocabulary in the Banjar Pabaungan language shows that there are phonological variations. By understanding and using regional language vocabulary, we can strengthen cultural identity and improve communication between communities.

Education in Indonesia plays an important role in the development of individuals and the country, shaping social and cultural values and preparing for the future. Quality education creates human resources who are innovative and have high social awareness, as regulated in Republic of Indonesia Law no. 20 of 2003. The main challenge is to maintain achievements and adapt to the Society 5.0 era. Curricula, such as the 2013 Curriculum and the Merdeka Curriculum, are designed to develop students' knowledge, skills and character. English as a compulsory subject increases career and educational opportunities in the context of globalization. English teaching in Indonesia emphasizes listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, as well as the importance of grammar and vocabulary. Nouns are an important element in sentence formation, and understanding nouns helps students in all aspects of language skills. An effective method for studying nouns is through descriptive text analysis. The Community Service Activity (PKM) entitled "Learning Nouns Through Descriptive Text Analysis for Grade 7 Students at MTs Lijamul Athfal Sukabumi" aims to develop community potential, increase creativity, writing skills and relationship networks. It is hoped that this PKM can improve students' understanding of nouns and become a guide for language learning in Indonesian literature, as well as arouse interest in learning English. The method used includes preparation and implementation of noun learning through descriptive text analysis at MTs Lijamul Athfal Sukabumi with results showing high enthusiasm from students. It is hoped that this fun context-based learning can be an alternative that advances education and produces students with international insight.

The purpose of this community service activity is to enhance the English vocabulary mastery of students in class IX.A at MTs Terpadu Berkah Palangka Raya through the implementation of the "I See the Light" song-based learning method. The learning process was carried out in three stages: first, students listened to the song without the translation; second, students listened to the same song with lyrics and translation; and third, students participated in a vocabulary quiz to assess their understanding of the new vocabulary they had learned. Observations during the activity showed that students were more actively engaged and enthusiastic in the learning process and discussions. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that using songs as a learning medium has a positive impact on improving students' English vocabulary mastery in a fun and interactive way. However, there were some challenges related to the unclear volume of the song and the instability of the power supply. Therefore, the recommendation for future research is to ensure clear audio and stable power supply to support the effective implementation of the activities.

English proficiency is a crucial skill in the globalization era, especially in business, communication, and industry sectors, which demand this international language as a competitive advantage. Over the past decade, advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have significantly impacted English learning, including through online platforms like YouTube and Canva. This study examines the utilization of these two platforms in English teaching at MA Hidayatul Insan Palangka Raya, particularly on the topic "Word Order of Adjective."

This study aims to compare Indonesian and Malay in terms of phonology, with the cartoon series “Omar and Hana” as the research subject. Judging from the existing reality, Indonesian and Malay are two cognate languages that have many similarities, both in terms of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. However, Indonesian and Malay also have differences, especially in terms of phonology. Therefore, this research tries to dig deeper into the comparison of phonology between Indonesian and Malay. The method used is descriptive qualitative with free listening and spoken involvement techniques and using writing techniques in data collection. The researcher found phonetic elements in Malay that aired on one of the themes in episode one, namely family themes. It was found that these two languages have almost similar functions of duration, stress, tone and stop in the pronunciation of vocabulary. However, there are differences, such as the sengau sound which is more distinctive in Malay. In addition, there is a change of vowel 'a' to 'ə' in some existing words that have the same meaning and arrangement pattern. This results in the existence of vocabulary whose sentences are different but the meaning is the same between Indonesian and the discovery of similar words but different meanings.
