The Application of Socio-Constructivism in Language Learning at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Almatera

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the application of socio-constructivism theory in language learning at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Almatera. Socioconstructivism theory emphasizes that language learning occurs through social interaction and meaningful experiences. This study used interviews and observations of two English teachers at the madrasah to identify the learning practices that have been implemented. The results showed that the group discussion-based approach, problem-based projects, and various learning media have created a collaborative and effective learning environment. However, there are several obstacles such as limited resources and the need for ongoing teacher training. This article recommends forming a professional learning community, an inclusive approach, and using technology to improve the quality of language learning at this madrasah.
