Abstract

Mindful learning is gaining increasing attention in educational settings due to its potential to enhance students' awareness, concentration, engagement, and emotional readiness during learning activities. However, studies exploring specific mindful learning strategies employed by English teachers and the challenges faced during their implementation, particularly in Indonesian EFL classrooms, are limited. This preliminary study aims to explore the types of mindful learning strategies employed by an English teacher and identify the challenges faced during their implementation in an eleventh-grade English classroom at SMAN 1 Solok Selatan. This study employed a qualitative descriptive design, employing classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Preliminary findings indicate that five mindfulness learning strategies have been identified: Mindful Breathing Exercise, Reflective Pause Activity, Reflective Listening Activity, Focus Preparation Activity, and Emotional Awareness Activity. The findings also revealed four implementation challenges, including limited learning time, lack of teacher training, student unfamiliarity, and curriculum pressure. These findings provide initial insights into the application of mindfulness learning in English language teaching and can assist teachers in creating a more focused, supportive, and engaging classroom environment.

Abstract

Penguasaan kosakata merupakan dasar utama dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris, terutama pada tingkat sekolah dasar. Metode konvensional seperti hafalan seringkali monoton sehingga menyulitkan siswa dalam mengingat dan menggunakan kosakata secara kontekstual. Penelitian ini bertujuan meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata bahasa Inggris siswa kelas IV SDN 10 Sangkir melalui penerapan media visual pada materi “Introduce Yourself.” Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan 21 siswa sebagai subjek. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, dokumentasi hasil belajar, wawancara informal, dan catatan lapangan. Media yang digunakan meliputi kartu gambar, poster, dan presentasi PowerPoint. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa media visual dapat meningkatkan pemahaman siswa terhadap kosakata dasar seperti “name,” “I am,” “years old,” dan “hobby.” Siswa menjadi lebih aktif, percaya diri, dan antusias dalam memperkenalkan diri menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa media visual efektif untuk menciptakan pembelajaran kosakata yang menyenangkan, kontekstual, dan mudah dipahami oleh siswa sekolah dasar. Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental aspect of English learning, especially at the elementary school level. Conventional methods such as memorization are often monotonous, making it difficult for students to remember and use vocabulary in real contexts. This study aims to improve the English vocabulary mastery of fourth-grade students at SDN 10 Sangkir through the application of visual media in the “Introduce Yourself” lesson. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with 21 students as subjects. Data were collected through observations, documentation of learning outcomes, informal interviews, and field notes. The visual media used included picture cards, posters, and PowerPoint presentations. The results indicate that visual media can enhance students’ understanding of basic vocabulary such as “name,” “I am,” “years old,” and “hobby.” Students became more active, confident, and enthusiastic in introducing themselves in English. The findings suggest that visual media is an effective strategy for creating enjoyable, contextual, and easily understood vocabulary learning for elementary school students.
