Abstract

This study aimed to describe English teachers’ readiness in integrating Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) and deep learning into English language teaching at the junior high school level. The research participants were ten junior high school English teachers from different schools, selected purposively as research informants. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. The primary research instrument was a semi-structured interview, supported by documentation of teaching and learning materials. Data were analyzed qualitatively through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that English teachers demonstrated a sufficient level of readiness in integrating CTL by connecting learning materials with students’ real-life contexts. In addition, teachers showed readiness in applying deep learning principles through discussion activities, project-based learning, and collaborative tasks that encouraged students’ critical thinking and communication skills. Supporting factors included the availability of school facilities and teacher collaboration, while challenges involved limited instructional time, differences in students’ language proficiency, and students’ low confidence in using English. The study concludes that the integration of CTL and deep learning has strong potential to enhance the quality of English language teaching when supported by continuous professional development for teachers.

Abstract

This study investigates students' perceptions of promotional content for Baho Gamira Recreational Tourism on TikTok, focusing on the integration of animated storytelling in tourism marketing. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and online surveys involving 30 students to analyze the influence of visual narrativity and perceived authenticity on travel intentions. The findings identify a significant "Engagement-Trust Paradox," where creative animation achieved a 100% engagement rate in capturing attention but simultaneously triggered a profound "Trust Gap." Approximately 70% to 90% of participants expressed skepticism regarding the site's physical reality, perceiving animation as a tool that potentially masks logistical deficiencies or exaggerates natural beauty. Furthermore, 75% of respondents felt hindered from visiting due to a critical "Informational Gap" regarding precise location tags, road accessibility, and facility costs. This research concludes that for emerging destinations, creative digital narration must be harmonized with "aesthetic transparency" and factual documentation to convert online engagement into physical visits. Practically, the study recommends adopting a hybrid content strategy that integrates User-Generated Content (UGC) and real-life footage to bridge the gap between digital inspiration and logistical reality, ensuring that the visual "vibe" is supported by verifiable facts to reduce the perceived risk for potential visitors.
