- Abstract
This study aims to examine the implementation of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) for effective classroom management at Miftahul Ulum Language Center Lumajang. The study focuses on how contextual learning activities facilitate student engagement, active interaction, collaboration, and participatory classroom management in language learning. A qualitative case study approach was employed to explore the implementation of CTL within its natural educational context. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with language teachers and students, and relevant documentation. The data were analyzed thematically through data reduction, coding, categorization, interpretation, and verification of emerging themes. The findings indicate that CTL implementation is reflected in several interconnected practices: connecting learning materials with students’ real-life experiences, facilitating contextual communicative activities, encouraging active and collaborative interaction, and providing opportunities for reflection. These practices contribute to stronger student engagement and support classroom management that emphasizes participation rather than merely behavioral control. The study contributes to understanding CTL as a pedagogical approach that integrates contextual learning, student engagement, and participatory classroom management to facilitate meaningful language learning. In practice, the findings highlight the importance of contextual, collaborative, and student-centered strategies for developing effective language-learning environments.
