This paper recounts the implementation of our department’s community service to the teachers and owners of LPK Bahasa Korea (private institutions teaching Korean language to prospective migrant workers). Based on our preliminary survey prior to conducting the community service, we learned that a lot of LPK were facing dilemmas in implementing online classes. They found it difficult to adjust themselves into online classes during the Covid-19 pandemic. Although some knew that running the LPK would mean the livelihood of their household, they even had to stop operating simply due to their lack of knowledge in conducting online classes. At this point, they needed assistance in making the best use of online platforms and in preparing online contents of Korean language teaching. Based on this, we designed a two-day community service fully implemented online which attracted as many as 55 enthusiastic participants from various LPK across Indonesia. During the program, participants learned from our experiences and from others about the endless possibilities of using free online platforms so as to maintain their LPK’s livelihood and existence. Despite its limited time, participants managed to finally learn and choose the types of online platforms that suited their respective need. In particular, they also managed to learn practical ways in preparing Korean language-related online content to keep the enthusiasm and spirit of LPK students during and hopefully in the post-Covid19. ===== Paper ini mengulik ulang pelaksanaan program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) yang dilakukan oleh Prodi Bahasa dan Kebudayaan Korea kepada para pengajar dan pemilik LPK (Lembaga Pendidikan dan Ketrampilan) Bahasa Korea. Berdasarkan hasil survei awal sebelum PkM dilaksanakan, diketahui banyaknya LPK yang menghadapi dilema dalam menerapkan kelas daring. Mereka kesulitan menyesuaikan lembaganya dengan kelas-kelas daring selama pandemi Covid-19. Bahkan beberapa LPK berhenti beroperasi karena kurangnya pengetahuan terkait kelas daring, walaupun menjalankan LPK merupakan sumber penghasilan utama mereka. Pada titik itulah diketahui bahwa mereka memerlukan pendampingan untuk memanfaatkan platform pembelajaran daring yang tersedia serta untuk mempersiapkan konten-konten bahasa Korea secara daring. Berangkat dari keadaan inilah, Prodi Bahasa dan Kebudayaan Korea mendesain PkM 2 hari yang secara penuh diselenggarakan secara daring. PkM ini berhasil menarik minat 55 peserta dari berbagai LPK yang tersebar dari berbagai daerah di Indonesia Selama program berlangsung, para peserta belajar dari Prodi dan saling belajar dari peserta lain terkait berbagai macam platform online yang bisa mereka gunakan serta belajar juga cara membuat berbagai konten bahasa Korea secara praktis demi keberlangsungan keberadaan LPK mereka. Terlepas dari pendeknya waktu, para peserta berhasil belajar dan akhirnya memilih platform online yang cocok dengan LPK masing-masing. Yang lebih penting lagi, mereka tahu cara mempersiapkan konten bahasa Korea yang praktis untuk mempertahankan semangat belajar para peserta kursus di LPK baik selama masa pandemi maupun nanti di pasca-Covid19.

Language teaching to migrant workers in The Netherlands needs an improvement in two ways. Apart from various problems with regard to the environment in which the teaching of Dutch to foreign workers takes place, this type of language training also suffers from serious inadequacies in the linguistic and methodological field. This paper discusses a few of these latter problems pertaining to both the teacher and the learner, i.e. the foreign worker. With regard to the -- usually unpaid and voluntary -- teacher, we point out such factors as - inexperience with the teaching of a second language and the consequen-ces of such a situation - disparity between the language of the teacher and the dialect/sociolect of the environment in which the foreign worker finds himself; a dispa-rity because of the socio-cultural gap between the two - discrepancy between certain features in the teacher's dialect and those of the standard language in the teaching method - use of 'foreigner talk' in the class situation With regard to the learner we diseuse euch matters as - expectation of the foreign worker when learning the language of his new country of residence; an expectation which to a great extent diffe, from what can objectively be defined as learning objectives - lack of contact with speakers of Butch resulting in a low level of oral proficiency by the foreign worker - problems relating to 'Pidgin'--Dutch The language department of Netherlands Centre Foreigners is engaged in developping language materiale for migrant workers and their families, in particular for those who are speakers of 'Pidgin'-Dutch.

Indonesia is one of the largest suppliers of informal labor in developed countries in ASEAN, Hongkong, Korea, Japan and Middle East Countries. Unlike the formal workforce that has good protection and income certainty. Workers in the non-formal sector still have vulnerabilities to get problems so there are efforts to reduce and prevent more Indonesians from becoming workers in the informal sector. One strategy is to increase the potential of migrant workers not to go abroad and to prevent ex-migrant workers from returning abroad.How to prevent good is to train the former migrant workers by sharing skills so that they can develop their business independently.

The importance of learning objectives requires the use of appropriate media so that learning runs effectively and efficiently. The learning media is very important in supporting the learning process and is often overlooked by teachers for various reasons, including limited time, difficulty finding the right media, and also limited funds. With a variety of IT-based and service devices, lecturers and students can access them online and there are applications that make it free for users. Among them are blog users as learning media. This community service activity aims to introduce information and communication technology in the form of Web-Blogs that will later help students who will be prepared to become teacher candidates to modify learning media. The implementation of community service in general can be categorized as successful in terms of participant participation. Participants felt that this dedication activity was very useful for developing web-blog-based learning media that they would use in later learning. The participants' responses to the service activities carried out stated that from the quality of the speakers, the quality of the modules was very good.
