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 explores the design and development of a contextual basic chemistry module specifically tailored to meet the diverse academic needs of undergraduate biology students. Recognizing the varying educational backgrounds and learning styles of students, the module was systematically created using the ADDIE instructional model, incorporating principles of inclusive pedagogy and differentiated instruction. To enhance accessibility and relevance, the module's content was closely linked to biological concepts and enriched with diverse features such as visual aids, interactive elements, and tasks structured at multiple levels of difficulty. The module was evaluated through a limited-scale implementation involving 25 students from the Tadris Biology program at Muhammadiyah University Aceh, who participated as respondents. Results from this implementation indicated notable improvements in students engagement, conceptual understanding of chemistry, learning motivation, and autonomy. These findings underscore the effectiveness of contextual and inclusive teaching strategies in fostering equitable learning environments and addressing conceptual gaps in interdisciplinary education, particularly for biology students navigating foundational chemistry topics.
