Many high school students in suburban areas lack awareness of international English proficiency tests like IELTS, limiting their access to global education opportunities. To address this, a one-day interactive workshop was held at SMAN Jatinangor using the Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) approach. The program introduced students to IELTS structure, objectives, and test strategies through engaging, student-centered activities. Pre- and post-surveys assessed the impact, with results showing a significant improvement: the percentage of students in the high awareness category increased from 0% to 70%, while the low category was completely eliminated. This demonstrates the effectiveness of targeted educational interventions in bridging global readiness gaps.
