Abstract

This study explores the influence of deep learning strategies on student engagement in EFL classrooms and examines teachers’ perceptions of their implementation. Conducted at SMP N 2 Bandar, the research employed a qualitative phenomenological approach involving classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that strategies such as problem-based learning, collaborative tasks, reflective questioning, and scaffolded critical thinking significantly enhance cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement among students. Observable indicators included increased participation, group collaboration, on-task behavior, and curiosity-driven questioning. Teachers reported that these approaches encouraged more meaningful learning, boosted student confidence, and fostered greater ownership of the learning process. Despite facing challenges like limited time and diverse student readiness, teachers believed that deep learning fostered a more dynamic and student-centered environment. The study concludes that deep learning strategies, when applied consistently, can transform EFL instruction by making learning more interactive, relevant, and engaging. These findings offer practical implications for English teachers seeking to promote deeper involvement and long-term motivation in language learning.

Abstract

This article explores the dual role of code mixing in English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms, examining whether it serves as a barrier or a bridge to effective language learning. Drawing from theoretical perspectives and practical classroom observations, the discussion highlights the potential benefits of code-mixing, such as enhancing comprehension, reducing learner anxiety, and facilitating smoother transitions to target language use. However, the article also addresses the potential drawbacks, including reduced exposure to English, overreliance on the first language (L1), and limited immersion. The findings suggest that code-mixing can be a valuable pedagogical tool when used strategically and in moderation. Ultimately, the article concludes that the impact of code mixing depends on how it is implemented by educators, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful and purposeful application to maximize its benefits while minimizing its risks in ESL settings. Therefore, ESL educators must exercise pedagogical awareness to balance innovation and integrity in language teaching while adapting to learners’ linguistic needs.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P5) in English Language Teaching (ELT) at SMP Muhammadiyah Tersono. The research aims to analyze how English teachers integrate P5 values into language instruction and to identify challenges and pedagogical implications. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving three English teachers. The data were analyzed thematically following Moustakas’ phenomenological procedures. The findings reveal that P5 values such as collaboration, creativity, and responsibility were effectively embedded through project-based learning activities focusing on local culture, environmental awareness, and entrepreneurship. Teachers applied contextual tasks that connected language learning with real-life situations, enhancing students’ engagement and character formation. However, the study also identified constraints related to limited instructional time, assessment integration, and teachers’ professional readiness. The novelty of this study lies in its exploration of P5-based ELT implementation at the junior high school level, highlighting how national character education can synergize with communicative English teaching. The study contributes to the growing discourse on holistic and value-oriented language pedagogy in Indonesia.
