Active Learning, Critical Thinking, Inquiry MethodAbstract
This article discusses the application of the inquiry method to improve English language skills in learning procedure texts for junior high school students. Procedure text provides step-by-step instructions for completing a task or process and plays an important role in language development. Inquiry methods that encourage active exploration, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication have proven to be effective approaches. By applying this method, students become active participants in the learning process, foster engagement and improve their language skills. This article highlights the benefits of applying inquiry methods, including enhanced language acquisition, development of critical thinking skills, and better communication. Practical strategies for implementation, such as pre-reading activities, guided and independent inquiry, and reflective discussions, are also provided. By incorporating the inquiry method, educators can empower students to become independent learners and improve their English skills through meaningful and contextual learning experiences.
