<![CDATA[This study aimed to investigate English teaching strategies reported by an English teacher and students’ perceptions toward those strategies at SMAN 1 Dumai. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach supported by simple quantitative data from students’ questionnaires. Data were collected through teacher interviews and questionnaires distributed to 20 tenth-grade students. The findings revealed that the teacher reported implementing several teaching strategies, including Student-Centered Learning, Problem-Based Learning, Cooperative Learning, heterogeneous grouping, and ice-breaking activities. Questionnaire results indicated that students generally perceived these strategies positively. Most students agreed that the teacher explained materials clearly (100%), used interesting teaching strategies (100%), and helped students understand learning materials (95%). However, only 60% of students agreed that they consistently felt active during classroom activities, suggesting that student engagement still varied among learners. The findings suggest that the teacher’s teaching strategies contributed positively to students’ learning experiences while highlighting the need for further efforts to increase active participation among all students.]]>
