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

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating case-based learning (CBL) and deep learning (DL) with the use of reflection e-portfolios in English language learning. The research is framed within the context of 21st-century education, emphasising the development of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication (4Cs). A qualitative method with a phenomenological approach was employed to explore teachers’ perceptions and experiences. Data were collected through focus group discussions (FGDs), surveys, and in-depth interviews involving 20 English teachers at the senior high school, vocational school, and Islamic senior high school levels in Kendal Regency. The findings reveal that while most teachers are relatively familiar with CBL—often equating it with problem-based learning—DL remains a new and less understood approach, thereby requiring further training and support. Teachers acknowledged that both approaches present challenges, particularly in terms of time allocation, creativity, and technical implementation. Nevertheless, reflection e-portfolios were perceived as a valuable evaluation tool that fosters objectivity, transparency, and openness in monitoring student progress. They allow teachers, students, and even parents to engage in the learning process more effectively. Overall, the integration of CBL, DL, and reflection e-portfolios was found to enhance students’ motivation and support the development of the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) as well as the 4Cs. This study concludes that such integration offers a sustainable innovation for improving the quality of English language learning while simultaneously addressing the challenges of 21st-century education.

Abstract

The purpose of this community service activity was to raise awareness among the people of West Rejosari Village about the importance of environmental preservation in response to the low level of environmental awareness and improper waste management practices commonly found in rural areas through seminars and outreach. An interactive seminar designed as an educational counseling activity with speakers from the Batang Regency Environmental Agency was conducted, incorporating interactive discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and basic household waste management practices. The activity involved 19 participants consisting of women from the Family Welfare Movement (PKK), youth from the Youth Organization (Karang Taruna), and local community leaders. Evaluation was carried out using a structured questionnaire with yes/no indicators. The results showed that all respondents (100%) stated that the material was easy to understand, clearly delivered, relevant to their daily lives, and provided new environmental knowledge. Participants also reported increased motivation to adopt environmentally friendly behaviors and greater concern for environmental issues. Although the number of participants was limited, these findings indicate that seminar-based environmental counseling contributes practically to improving community knowledge and awareness of environmental conservation.
