Abstract

This study examines an English language learning intervention for coastal children in Bajo Lawele, Buton Regency, Indonesia, by integrating resilience principles, culturally grounded learning, and community participation. The study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 32 Bajo children aged 9–12 years. The intervention was conducted in six sessions over three weeks using storytelling with maritime themes, vocabulary games related to coastal life, and role-play based on children’s everyday experiences. Data were collected through an English proficiency test covering vocabulary, listening, and speaking micro-tasks, a resilience scale adapted from Grotberg’s framework (I Have, I Am, and I Can), classroom observations, and informal parent interviews. The findings showed positive changes in both English proficiency and learning resilience after the intervention. Vocabulary scores increased from 45.6 to 72.3, listening comprehension from 48.1 to 70.4, and speaking from 41.3 to 68.9, with the highest gain in speaking (66.8%). Improvements were also found in all resilience dimensions, especially I Can, which increased from 52.9 to 82.4 (55.7%). These findings suggest that culturally grounded and resilience-informed English learning may support language development and learner engagement among coastal children while preserving local cultural values.

Abstract

Student engagement plays an important role in supporting students’ participation and learning in EFL classrooms. However, limited opportunities for communicative practice may limit students’ confidence and participation in speaking activities. This classroom action research investigated how the implementation of Small Group Discussion fostered students’ engagement in speaking. The study was conducted with nine eleventh grade students at a private senior high school in Yogyakarta through two classroom action research cycles. Data were collected using an engagement observation checklist, interviews, and field notes and were analyzed descriptively and thematically. The observation checklist focused on two dimensions of engagement, namely Effort and Initiative. The findings showed an increase in both dimensions across the two cycles. Students also demonstrated greater enthusiasm, more active participation, and increased use of English during speaking activities. Interview findings further indicated that students perceived Small Group Discussion as an enjoyable approach that provided more opportunities to practise speaking, express opinions, and work collaboratively. The findings suggest that Small Group Discussion can serve as a practical classroom-based approach to fostering students’ engagement in EFL speaking.
