Practical English proficiency is an essential competency for senior high school students to prepare for higher education and future careers. However, many students still experience difficulties in using English for everyday communication because classroom instruction tends to emphasize theoretical knowledge rather than practical application. This community service program, entitled English for the Future, was conducted to enhance the practical English skills of students at SMA Negeri 2 Sukawati. The program employed interactive learning methods, including material presentation, communicative practice, real-life conversation simulations, group discussions, and learning evaluation through pre-test and post-test assessments. The training was implemented through face-to-face sessions involving senior high school students as the primary participants. The results demonstrated an improvement in students' practical English proficiency, as indicated by higher post-test scores compared to the pre-test. Furthermore, participants showed increased confidence in communicating in English and actively engaged throughout the training sessions. The program also produced several tangible outputs, including a training documentation video, mass media publication, and an intellectual property rights (IPR)-registered educational poster. Overall, the program contributed positively to strengthening students' practical English competencies and may serve as a sustainable community engagement model to support students' academic and career readine.
