This study implements the English Competition Program as an innovative strategy distinct from conventional learning by incorporating competition-based and interactive activities. The research examines its effectiveness in improving students’ speaking skills and confidence. Applying Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) theory, the program utilizes school resources—teachers, students, and learning culture—as key assets for language development. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through observations, interviews with teachers, and document analysis of competition results. The program includes three competitions: spelling bee for grades 1–2, guessing vocabulary for grades 3–4, and introduction speaking for grades 5–6. The findings indicate that competition-based learning significantly improves English proficiency in the form of speaking and confidence. The study recommends continuous implementation and evaluation to optimize the program. This study presents a novel approach, demonstrating that competition-driven methods can effectively enhance students’ communication skills.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Abdi: Jurnal Pengabdian dan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat}, author={Ubaidila, Belly and Arisanti, Tarisa Amalia Dwi and Jelita, Dwi Mutiara and Cahyaningrum, Karin Wahyu and Naily, Nabiela and Fanani, Aris}, year={2025}, month={Mar.}, pages={76–89} }
