Abstract

Pelaksanaan pembelajaran General English di Pesantren SMA Islam Al-Falah, Aceh Besar, menunjukkan dampak positif yang signifikan dalam peningkatan kompetensi bahasa Inggris siswa. Pendekatan berbasis komunikasi yang diterapkan dalam pengajaran terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara, penguasaan kosakata, dan kepercayaan diri siswa. Integrasi nilai-nilai Islami dalam materi pembelajaran juga memperkuat pembentukan karakter siswa sesuai dengan visi pesantren. Penggunaan metode seperti task-based learning dan teknologi sederhana turut meningkatkan efektivitas pembelajaran. Namun, tantangan berupa keterbatasan fasilitas dan beragamnya kapasitas pengajar masih menjadi hambatan yang perlu diatasi untuk memaksimalkan hasil pembelajaran. Untuk mengoptimalkan pembelajaran General English, disarankan agar pesantren meningkatkan pelatihan bagi guru Bahasa Inggris, menyediakan bahan ajar yang lebih bervariasi, serta memperbaiki fasilitas yang mendukung proses pembelajaran. Selain itu, penggunaan metode yang lebih komunikatif dan berbasis teknologi, seperti pembelajaran berbasis proyek atau aplikasi belajar bahasa, dapat membuat siswa lebih aktif dan termotivasi. Dengan langkah-langkah tersebut, pembelajaran General English dapat lebih efektif dalam membekali siswa dengan keterampilan bahasa yang kompeten, sehingga siap menghadapi tantangan globalisasi.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore students’ perspectives on the use of drama in English language learning and to identify the challenges encountered during its implementation. Employing a qualitative research design, the study was carried out in the English Education Department at Universitas Muhammadiyah Aceh. Five students who had participated in drama-based English classes were purposively selected as participants. Data were gathered through interviews, classroom observations, and reflective journals. Thematic analysis was utilized to interpret the data. The results indicate that students generally view drama activities positively, highlighting their contribution to improving speaking proficiency, enhancing motivation, promoting active participation, and offering a contextual and enjoyable learning environment. Despite these benefits, several challenges were reported, including performance anxiety, insufficient rehearsal time, and difficulties in memorizing scripts. These issues were addressed through collaborative learning, peer discussions, extended practice, and self-reflection. The study concludes that drama-based learning is an effective pedagogical strategy for promoting communicative and meaningful English learning. Therefore, its integration into foreign language education, particularly in higher education is strongly encouraged.
