Abstract

This study investigates students' perceptions of Context-Based Learning (CBL) and its effectiveness in enhancing reading skills, particularly in the context of digital and multicultural learning environments. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews and open-ended questionnaires with 30 ninth-grade students at SMP Plus Shafiyyatul Amaliyyah. Thematic analysis was conducted to explore the students' experiences and perceptions regarding CBL. The findings revealed that students generally hold positive views toward CBL, with 85% reporting increased engagement when reading materials were connected to real-life contexts. Furthermore, 70% noted an improvement in their understanding of complex texts. However, challenges emerged in digital reading environments, as 60% of participants expressed difficulties in navigating digital platforms, which impacted their comprehension. Additionally, the integration of culturally relevant contexts significantly motivated students and enhanced their understanding of reading materials. This research fills a critical gap in understanding students' perspectives on CBL in relation to reading skills development. It highlights the importance of adapting CBL strategies for digital contexts and diverse classrooms to improve educational outcomes. The study calls for enhanced teacher training to effectively implement CBL in these settings. Keyword: Students’ Perception, Context-Based Learning, reading skill.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines the integration of Canva as a digital learning tool to enhance English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’ recount writing skills at the junior high school level. The study was conducted at SMP Shafiyyatul Amaliyyah and involved 30 seventh-grade students engaged in Canva-based writing projects. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, documentation of students’ written products, and open-ended questionnaires. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that Canva fostered higher student engagement, improved organization of recount texts, stimulated creative expression, and enhanced learners’ confidence in writing English. Although challenges such as limited internet access and vocabulary constraints were observed, Canva proved to be an effective pedagogical tool when supported by appropriate instructional scaffolding. This study contributes to EFL writing pedagogy by providing qualitative evidence on the role of digital multimodal tools in genre-based writing instruction.
