Introduction
Siabu District is an area located in Mandailing Natal Regency or often known by the abbreviation MADINA. This area spans an area of 34,536.46 km2 which is bordered on the east by South Tapuli Regency, west with Muara Batang Gadis District, North with South Tapanuli Regency and in the south with Bukit Malintang District and Naga Juang District. Apart from that, according to data obtained from the BPS Catalog book: 1102001.1202.080 Central Bureau of Statistics of Mandailing Natal Regency in 2020 (https://mandailingnatalkab.bps.go.id/) the population in Siabu sub-district is approximately 47,807 people. Of the population, the average profession is as a farmer because this area is surrounded by large fields and fields, there are people/students who are studying from elementary school to high school. Senior high school is 7,985 people in elementary school, 2,322 people in junior high school and 2,138 people in high school. In addition, the available teachers in Siabu District are 724 elementary school teachers, 140 junior high school teachers and 120 high school teachers. From the comparison of the number of students and teachers available, this area is still classified in the provision of teachers according to standards and should not experience difficulties in improving the quality and quality of education in the area where the ratio of teachers to students is no more than one in twenty (1: 20). And very proud according to the results of observations made by the author in March 2013 in the Siabu district, it turns out that in every school both in elementary and junior high and high school there are at least 2 English teachers but not all of them have a Bachelor of English Education background. However, this is something to be proud of and it is hoped that it can provide a very good education to students so that students can achieve the educational goals set by the government, namely students can be motivated, can speak English passively and actively according to national education standards.
Based on the illustration above, this area is a very potential area both in terms of Natural Resources (SDA) and Human Resources (HR) but direction and assistance to move forward is still very much needed so that people can think more positively and be open to receiving modern education. and based on technology which is now widely used in various fields, especially in education.
The reality that occurs in the midst of the rapid development of technology in this global era is the ability of teachers to use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) or other languages Information and Communication Technology (ICT) such as the Internet (websites, blogs, and so on) as a source of information. Very good and easy education is still very worrying and needs to be addressed so that the demands of the times for the progress of this area will have an impact on national progress. This is evidenced by the analysis carried out by the author on the Lesson Plan (RPP) of English subjects, which of all the highest teachers use technology, namely Power Point and centralized media using books provided by schools or purchased through school recommendations. many teachers use manual and ancient media to teach English such as old year books or which should not be used anymore in this era of globalization. In fact, access in this area is still relatively modern, both in terms of facilities and infrastructure and internet networks have been available in this area since 2006.
This cannot be left alone because the potential in this area will be closed or stagnant and it is possible to experience a setback due to the progress of education in accordance with the times and boredom of students and maybe even teachers to carry out their functions. Therefore, strategic and appropriate handling of the problem must be applied as soon as possible. To answer this question, the author provides a simple solution but it is very beneficial for the progress of the Siabu District area, namely by assisting English teachers in Siabu District to create a web-based source of English learning material or with the global language, namely Web Based Resources (WBR).
WBR is potentially powerful tools for enhancing teaching and learning processes in school education (Hadjerrouit, 2010).

Teachers tend to still use traditional media and it is very boring for their students.
In addition, writing also chooses this alternative (Web Based-Resources) as a solution to deal with the problems that occur because this media is very simple, interesting and authentic (according to the reality of the world) because this media is used in online form and can also be offline after downloading materials used in class. In addition, this will make students more motivated to study well and enthusiastically to follow the lesson until the end because this media will provide information that may not have been predicted by students at school.

Therefore, the basis for choosing this alternative is very strong and strengthened by the availability of facilities and the positive impact that will be obtained after holding this community service.
