Because of the 2019-nCoV shutdown, there is a need for creative ways to spread the information to those without internet access. The aim of this study to test the feasibility of a ‘Seven-Day Education Program to Improve Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices’ in Indonesia. This research involves a quasi-experimental study with one group pre-test and post-test design, and was carried out from April to May 2020 in Serang, Banten Province, Indonesia. The education program was developed in seven days providing information door-to-door and direct consultation via a social media group for studied participants. The topics consisted of 7 themes, namely: (1) general information of 2019-nCoV; (2) transmission of 2019-nCoV; (3) signs and symptoms of 2019-nCoV; (4) what should I do if they have symptoms of COVID-19 and when should they seek medical help; (5) self-isolation; (6) how to use a mask correctly; (7) prevention of 2019-nCoV. The study had a total of 140 respondents. Knowledge of transmission routes and prevention and control for clinical presentation was enhanced after seven days experiencing the educational program. Following the intervention, the trust of the participants in winning the fight against 2019-nCoV increased. There has been a decline in the last few days before people who go to a crowded place and a rise in the proportion of people wearing masks as they go out (p<0.05). Probably this approach could be applied to reach more people in Indonesia’s rural area during this condition. A future study involving more comprehensive methods and more innovation is required in Indonesia to improve awareness, attitudes, and practices towards 2019-nCoV.   Keywords: Education Program, Knowledge, Attitude, Practices, 2019-nCoV

Data Analysis Result

Vocabulary is the basic aspect of language. The ability to master vocabulary holds an important part in learning a language, including English. That becomes one of the researcher's considerations to conduct this research when observing at one of Indonesia's high schools since the students show difficulties in vocabulary mastery. Modifying the teaching media can become a problem solving for students' lack of vocabulary mastery. In this case, using Rosetta Stone CALL software is suggested to overcome the problem. The research's objective was to determine whether or not the use of Rosetta Stone CALL software can improve the tenth-grade students' vocabulary mastery. The researcher applied a quasi-experimental method, with two group pre-test and post-test design. The research sample was forty students from two classes taken from the population of the 10th-grade students of SMA Negeri 2 Barru. The data analysis result showed that the pre-test's mean score in the experimental class was 2.21, and the post-test was 3.04. It proves that the tenth-grade students' vocabulary mastery improved using Rosetta Stone CALL Software. After analyzing the data using SPSS version 21, the probability value in the post-test was 0.01, and the significance value was 0.05. It means that the probability value (0.01) was lower than the significance value (0.05). It was indicated that H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. It revealed that the vocabulary mastery of the tenth-grade students of SMA Negeri 2 Barru for the experimental and control groups was significantly different.
