Abstract

In language learning contexts, conventional methods frequently fail to engage students meaningfully, making it difficult to improve their academic achievement and learning motivation. Addressing this issue, teachers' personal storytelling in learning various languages has the potential to make the learning environment more approachable and motivational. This study looks into the impact of using the teacher's personal storytelling in learning other languages on students' academic achievement and motivation. A quasi-experimental approach was adopted, with a single experimental group comprising 36 senior high school students from Indonesia. The findings show that personal storytelling greatly enhanced both academic achievement and learning motivation. Students found the strategy engaging, unique, and contextually relevant, which improved their grasp of the topics covered. Furthermore, students noted that the strategy helped them reflect on their personal language learning journeys, inspiring them to better understand English and thereby improving their academic achievement. Overall, this approach made language learning more enjoyable and vivacious. The findings indicate that personal storytelling is an excellent teaching strategy that provides a contextual, engaging, interactive, and unique approach to language acquisition. It is recommended for teachers who want to create an engaging and relevant classroom learning experience.

Abstract

The conceptual framework for combining culture and language training proposed by Liddicoat and Scarino (2013) comprising 1) Structural Understandings of Content, 2) Communicative Understanding of Content, 2) Content-Based Language Teaching, 4) Concept-Based Understandings of Content, and 5) Content for Intercultural Language Teaching and Learning is reinterpreted in this paper. It delves into how students' comprehension of the connection between language and culture can be improved via the use of a systematic method for organizing course material. The framework lays the groundwork for successful engagement with both cultural and linguistic components by stressing the methodical presentation of such content. To further emphasize the significance of language forms and their practical use in genuine communication, the authors also present communicative understandings of content. More meaningful language interactions are made possible by this method, which emphasizes the interdependence of cultural knowledge and linguistic abilities. Furthermore, the article delves further into the topic of content-based language training, which uses authentic cultural settings to improve both language learning and cross-cultural competency. It promotes a more in-depth investigation of cultural notions and their influence on language acquisition by integrating concept-based understandings of culture. With an emphasis on helping students become fluent communicators and adept at navigating cultural differences, this article presents the concept of content for intercultural language learning. This paper stresses the need for inclusive pedagogy that welcomes Indonesian EFL students of all backgrounds, encourages the growth of language skills and intercultural understanding, and ultimately equips students to participate actively in communities around the world.
