Abstract

This study explored the implementation of the Local Environment Exploration Method in English Language Teaching (ELT) at SMP Negeri 1 Weleri, examining its impact on student engagement, contextual relevance, cultural awareness, and teacher adaptation. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis with teachers and students. The findings reveal that integrating local environmental contexts into ELT enhances language learning by making lessons more meaningful and relatable, increasing students' motivation and active participation. Moreover, the method promotes environmental stewardship and cultural identity by connecting language acquisition with local traditions and natural surroundings. Teachers reported improved pedagogical skills through innovative lesson planning and experiential learning activities, although challenges related to resource limitations and scheduling were identified. This study highlights the dual benefit of this method, which fosters linguistic competence while enriching cultural awareness, thus offering a holistic approach to ELT. The findings contribute to the growing body of literature on contextualized learning and provide practical insights for educators seeking to integrate culturally relevant and place-based teaching methods. Future research should investigate the long-term effects of this method on language proficiency and cultural preservation in diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

Conventional cognition-oriented learning models are considered less able to respond to the demands of 21st century learning, so a more holistic, contextual, and student-centered approach is needed. This study aims to explore teachers' experience in implementing the Expeditionary Learning model integrated with Multiple Intelligences and local wisdom in English language learning in high schools and vocational schools in Batang Regency. Using a phenomenological qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, questionnaires, interviews, documentation, and FGD of 25 teachers who were selected purposively. The results showed that the mapping of multiple intelligences identified the dominance of kinesthetic, visual-spatial, and linguistic intelligence, which teachers then translated into various expedition projects such as industrial expeditions and local product (UMKM) promotion (48%), folklore dramas and traditional games (36%), and tourism promotions (16%). This authentic experiential learning has been shown to increase students' motivation, creativity, participation, and English language competence while strengthening their cultural identity. The research concludes that the integration of EL–MI–local wisdom is an effective pedagogical approach to creating relevant, humanistic, and contextual learning, and recommends further exploration in more diverse school contexts to broaden the generalization of findings.
