The Implementation of Contextual Learning Strategies to Stimulate Students' Critical Thinking Skills

Abstract. Critical thinking skills are one of the things that students must have. But in reality, there are still a few students who have high critical thinking skills. So the application of the right learning model is needed. This study aims to apply the contextual teaching and learning (CTL) strategy in an effort to encourage students to have critical thinking skills. The experiment was conducted using a one-group post-test design involving twenty-four students. The instrument used was an assessment rubric with a Likert scale, processed both descriptively and quantitatively. The results showed that the overall achievement of student learning outcomes using CTL was dominantly in the sufficient category. The results of the effect test showed a significance of 0.000 <0.05, so it can be said that the contextual learning strategy has a significant effect. The results of the study indicate that the application of contextual learning strategies can improve students' critical thinking skills. The results achieved are better because CTL is a relatively new learning strategy and encourages students to think at a higher level. Nevertheless, through CTL, students are encouraged to provide enthusiasm for learning, increase motivation to be active in learning, assist in developing tasks, assist in problem solving, provide ways to discuss and interact with their peers, and help summarize and reflect on lessons. Thus, it can be concluded that CTL can stimulate students' critical thinking skills, so contextual learning strategies can be applied to students. Keywords: CTL, Critical Thinking, Student

The Impact of Vocabulary Learning Methods on Students’ Vocabulary Application Skills

This research paper investigates the impact of vocabulary learning methods on students’ vocabulary application skills in English language acquisition. I examine traditional methods like rote memorization and flashcards, as well as modern approaches such as contextual learning, technology-assisted methods, and multimodal strategies. Through a mixed-methods research design, including surveys, interviews, and classroom observations, I uncover valuable insights into how these methods influence vocabulary application. My findings reveal that traditional methods, while effective for vocabulary retention, often fall short in facilitating practical vocabulary usage. Contextual learning emerges as a potent strategy, promoting active vocabulary application by immersing learners in real-life language contexts. Technology-assisted methods enhance pronunciation and offer immersive experiences, contributing to improved vocabulary application. Multimodal approaches that integrate various methods provide a holistic solution, fostering both recognition and active use of vocabulary. The implications for language teaching emphasize the need for a balanced approach that combines traditional and modern methods. Incorporating technology and real-life contexts into language education enhances students’ ability to apply vocabulary effectively, bridging the gap between knowledge and application.
