Abstract
 Training activities on the development of evaluation questions based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTs) for elementary school teachers in Tumpang District, Malang Regency, aim to provide training to teachers relating to developing and implementing evaluation questions based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTs) in the 2013 curriculum. focuses on the teacher's activities in real developing HOTs-based evaluation questions in accordance with the themes or sub-themes that will be taught in class in the 2013 curriculum. This activity is also to change the mindset of the teacher in the evaluation, so that not only using evaluations from the teacher's book can lead to the teacher not creative and indirectly the questions used to only measure low knowledge do not train higher-order thinking. Therefore, this problem needs to be done immediately so that teachers get out of their comfort zone to be more creative in developing HOTs-based evaluation questions in particular. This is reinforced by one of the points in the standard competency of elementary school graduates that students have critical thinking skills and can apply in everyday life. The activity is planned to be held from June to November 2019. This training involves elementary school teachers from Tumpang Subdistrict, Malang Regency, Tumpang Regional Headquarters, and PGSD FIP Unesa Lecturers. The methods used in this training are the presentation of material by the team, questions and answers related to material that is not understood, and workshops developing evaluation questions based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTs) until an evaluation product is ready to be used in classroom learning. Data obtained in the service activities are in the form of participant responses and HOTs-based portfolio evaluation questions for the themes / sub-themes chosen by the participants. The data obtained were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Based on the results of the portfolio data of participant work and the responses obtained during the implementation of community service activities at SDN Tumpang I, it can be concluded the ability of elementary school teachers in all districts. Overlapping in compiling evaluation questions based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTs) showed a significant improvement and the response was given by the participants was very good. This is evidenced by the results of each aspect of the participant's portfolio assessment on the scale of the assessment scale between 3-5, especially on the 4-5 rating scale.

“…Moreover, the discovery that teachers continue to encounter challenges in understanding text of increased complexity underscores the critical necessity for teacher education curricula to be carefully designed which aim to bolster English language competencies while concurrently integrating them with effective pedagogical skills, a notion emphasized by Fullan (2007) and Suprayitno (2019). This strategic alignment is crucial as it highlights the interdependent relationship between language proficiency and its significant impact on student learning outcomes (Richards et al, 2013).…”

Additionally, the implementation of training programs for English language teachers needs to be intensified.…”
