The implementation of a team games tournament (TGT) in EFL classroom: A practitioner inquiry
Keywords:
Team Games Tournament, practitioner inquiry, cooperative learning modelAbstract
In most schools in Indonesia, the subject of English remains a scary thing for students. The high number of students who struggle to understand English poses a unique challenge for English teachers in delivering the subject. This is because many teachers still do not maximize learning using creative methods, and students also do not explore English lessons further. Therefore, this research was conducted to examine the writer's reflection on using a creative learning model, namely the Team Games Tournament. The Team Games Tournament learning model is one of the cooperative learning models that includes game tournaments as academic tournaments. By having these tournaments, it is expected to attract students' interest in learning English. In this research, the writer serves as the phenomenon being studied. The research design used in this study is practitioner inquiry, which involves research based on personal experience, where the researcher reflects on their own experiences to be used as research data. This research was conducted in the 12th-grade Accounting class. The results of this study reveal that the Team Games Tournament learning model is highly effective for me in assessing students' ability to engage in group discussions.
