Abstract

Engaging young learners in English language lessons while fostering vocabulary development is a key challenge in elementary education. This study investigates the use of mini booklets, designed with colorful illustrations, as a tool to enhance student engagement and support vocabulary acquisition among first-grade students at SD 1 Margorejo. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving 12 students as participants. Data were collected through observation sheets and teacher reflection notes to examine how the mini booklets influenced classroom dynamics and learning outcomes. The findings indicate that the use of mini booklets significantly increased students’ enthusiasm and participation during English lessons. Students enjoyed interactive activities, demonstrating improved vocabulary retention and confidence in speaking. This study highlights the effectiveness of creative, student-centered teaching materials in early English education, offering practical recommendations for educators aiming to improve engagement and learning outcomes in similar contexts.

Abstract

This study explores teachers’ perspectives on the implementation of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in science and math classrooms at SD Al Azhar Pati, a primary school in Indonesia. While CLIL is acknowledged as a bilingual instructional strategy that enhances both language and subject knowledge, limited research has explored its implementation in non-international, resource-limited school contexts. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from five teachers through structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews via WhatsApp. Findings reveal that teachers view CLIL as effective for fostering academic vocabulary and meaningful learning. However, challenges such as language barriers, limited materials, and varied student engagement persist. Teachers employed bilingual strategies, interactive activities, and collaboration with English teachers to overcome these challenges. This study underscores the need for professional development and localized resources to strengthen CLIL practices in similar settings.
