<![CDATA[This research aims to find out students’ strategies for engaging in English classroom discussion. This study used a descriptive qualitative method, with the subjects of this research being two students at SMA Muhammadiyah Sungguminasa, and data were collected through an observation checklist and semi-structured interviews. The results of the study showed that students used four main strategies to engage in English classroom discussion, namely (a) cognitive strategies, including note-taking, preparing materials, and translating unfamiliar words; (b) compensation strategies, including guessing meaning from the context and using body language; (c) affective strategies, including self-encouragement and anxiety management; (d) social strategies, including asking questions, peer discussion, and seeking clarification. These strategies contribute to students’ behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement in English classroom discussion. Therefore, understanding students’ strategies can help teachers create more interactive and supportive class discussions.]]>
