Abstract

This research aims to investigate the application of interactive learning methods in English classes and identify the challenges faced by teachers at SMK Teknologi Muhammadiyah Limboto. As vocational students require practical communication skills, the study explores how teachers bridge the gap between student passivity and active engagement in the classroom. This study employed a qualitative survey method. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with English teachers, then analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns in teaching strategies and classroom dynamics. The findings reveal that teachers actively implement various interactive methods, including Project-Based Learning, Role-Playing, Group Discussions, Storytelling, and Debates. These activities are supported by digital tools such as Flip, Padlet, Quizizz, and Kahoot to foster a collaborative learning environment. However, the implementation faces several challenges, specifically time constraints, disparities in student abilities, and limited infrastructure. Teachers overcome these obstacles through adaptive strategies like cooperative learning and the utilization of simple technology. The study concludes that while challenges exist, interactive learning effectively promotes critical thinking and communication skills, suggesting a need for continued pedagogical adaptation and facility support in vocational education.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in reading instruction at the senior high school level, focusing on teachers’ practices and the challenges encountered during the learning process. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, involving one English teacher at SMAN 1 Kabila selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, one month of classroom observations across seven learning sessions, and documentation, and were analyzed using an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that HOTS was implemented through structured lesson planning, open-ended questioning, differentiated instruction, and interactive learning activities. Three HOTS dimensions were identified in classroom practice: analyzing, evaluating, and creating. Students demonstrated analyzing skills by interpreting information and examining relationships between ideas, evaluating skills by justifying opinions with logical reasons and responding to alternative viewpoints, and creating skills by generating new ideas and products based on the texts they read. The study also identified major challenges, including differences in students’ abilities and learning styles, as well as limited instructional time for facilitating higher-order thinking activities. This study contributes to HOTS implementation research by providing empirical evidence of how HOTS is enacted in classroom reading practices and by highlighting the instructional strategies and challenges experienced by teachers in fostering higher-order thinking in EFL reading contexts.
