Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Maluku local wisdom into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing instruction in a junior high school in Maluku, Indonesia. It aims to explore: 1) how Maluku wisdom values can be integrated into EFL writing lessons; 2) the impact of this integration on students’ writing performance, and 3) students’ perceptions of culturally responsive writing tasks. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observation, document analysis, teacher interviews, student writing samples (pre-test and post-test), and student reflections. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis within the culturally sustaining pedagogy framework. The findings revealed that Maluku wisdom values were embedded across writing stages through culturally contextualized topics, teacher prompts, and feedback. Students’ post-integration writing showed notable improvements in content development, organization, vocabulary use, and connection to local culture. Reflections and interviews revealed that students felt more engaged, confident, and proud of expressing their identity in English. The study concludes that integrating local wisdom into EFL writing enhances both language proficiency and cultural awareness. This research contributes to the field of culturally sustaining pedagogy and highlights the importance of localizing EFL instruction to promote meaningful learning and identity formation in multilingual contexts.

Abstract

Higher-order thinking skills are essential for students in the twenty-first century, with critical thinking being one of the most important. Despite its significance, Indonesian students' critical thinking skills often fall short of international standards. This may be attributed to science education that frequently overlooks socio-cultural environments. By integrating guided inquiry learning models with local wisdom, specifically tapai jringkeng, this study aims to examine the improvement of critical thinking skills in the 9-B class at SMPN 1 Kotaanyar. The research utilized a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 23 students. Data were gathered using an essay-based test consisting of five questions and analyzed with the N-gain formula. The findings revealed an N-gain score of 0.77, categorized as a high level, indicating a significant improvement in students' critical thinking skills. The study suggests that incorporating local wisdom into inquiry-based learning can enhance cognitive engagement and foster a deeper understanding of the context. Additionally, this research contributes to science education by offering a culturally responsive teaching model that fosters critical thinking through the inclusion of local wisdom.
