Abstrak: Desa Srigonco yang merupakan salah satu Desa di Kecamatan Bantur memiliki potensi pisang yang sangat berlimpah. Sayangnya, sejak adanya pandemi COVID-19, tingkat penjualan buah pisang menurun. Kami sebagai pelaksana kegiatan Kegiatan Pengabdian Masyarakat Universitas Negeri Malang mencoba membantu menggali potensi buah pisang Desa Srigonco melalui penggabungan metode analisis Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat dan Participatory Rural Appraisal. Dengan kedua metode tersebut, diharapkan tujuan kegiatan ini bisa tercapai. Adapun tujuan yang dimaksud meliputi 1) Peningkatan potensi sumber daya manusia di desa, 2) Memotivasi masyarakat untuk menjadi sumber daya manusia yang kreatif dan inovatif, 3) Pemberdayaan industri pengolahan buah pisang dengan program rebranding, dan 4) Pengembangan industri kecil yang sudah ada dengan menambah jenis produk olahan. Dalam pelaksanaannya, kami merancang strategi yang disusun berdasar analisis, dilanjut dengan perencaan jenis produk olahan buah pisang. Setelahnya, kami membuat desain untuk kemasan produk yang akan dibuat untuk menunjang keawetan. Kegiatan dilanjut dengan demonstrasi cara mengolah buah pisang menjadi produk yang lebih tahan lama dan penyuluhan yang berisikan materi pentingnya program pengolahan buah pisang untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat. Abstract: Srigonco Village, which is one of the villages in Bantur District, has abundant banana potential. Unfortunately, since the COVID-19 pandemic, banana sales have declined. We, as the implementers of the Community Service Activities at the State University of Malang, try to help explore the potential of bananas in Srigonco Village by combining Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat and Participatory Rural Appraisal analysis methods. With these two methods, it is hoped that the objectives of this activity can be achieved. The objectives in question include 1) Increasing the potential of human resources in the village, 2) Motivating the community to become creative and innovative human resources, 3) Empowering the banana processing industry with a rebranding program, and 4) Development of existing small industries by adding types of processed products. In practice, we design a strategy based on analysis, followed by planning the types of banana processed products. After that, we make designs for product packaging that will be made to support durability. The activity continued with demonstrations on how to process bananas into more durable products and counseling containing material on the importance of banana processing programs for the welfare of the community

Little Dim Sum Warriors: translanguaging of Chinese and English in educational comic books for bilingual children

Comic books used to serve the purpose of entertainment; nowadays, they also provide one of the most innovative ways of learning. Not only do they stimulate brains with the visual mode, but they can also function as more effective teaching and learning resources with the usage of two modes: text and image. Referring to Kress’ (2010) framework on modes, this study investigates the translanguaging aspects of Little Dim Sum Warriors, a series of educational comic books with young bilingual or multilingual speakers as the target audience. This study focuses on how translanguaging, that is the fluid language practices of bilingual speakers (Wei, 2018), is present effectively in comic books by making use of Chinese culture (the learners’ home culture) when targeting English (learners’ target language) proficiency. In conducting the study, we analysed two storybooks of the series and collected the translanguaging practices found in both text and image formats. In our analysis we use Royce’s (1998) Intersemiotic Complementarity framework to assess the relation between verbal and visual modes. The results show that the translanguaging practices in comic books are divided into three forms: text, visual, and context-meaning. These practices help the audience understand foreign language and culture in a creative way, which fits the traits of young learners. Hence, keeping their attention in language learning intact
