The research by Sudimantara (2021) and highlight the benefits of non-traditional approaches such as incorporating nonverbal components. Lian A.-B (2017) also creates an innovative approach called reading for emotion to help students learn English better without worrying about grammar and vocabulary. The study also shows the importance of poetry and literature in English language learning, as proven by Zeman, A., Milton, F., Smith, A., & Rylance, R. (2015) that poetry precedes prose and it is a knowledge management system in the world. The study employed a research and development design to demonstrate the collaboration of using pedagogy, technology, and CEFR to create innovative learning resources that shift students' mindsets and also build the students’ engagement in learning English. This study offers valuable insights into developing innovative learning resources for English language learning in Indonesia, and further research in this area could lead to more effective teaching methods and improve the English proficiency of Indonesian students.
