ENVIRONMENTAL EXPLORATION IN LANGUAGE LEARNING

Filawati Filawati

Abstract


This paper contains a description of the existence of environmental issues that are represented in the lessons learned from some of the findings of previous researchers that try to be linked in language learning in Indonesia. It can offer innovations for teachers and learners to design more modern, effective, and innovative lesson-charged lessons in teaching and learning. Research and literature on effective teachers of gifted students tend to show strong communication skills and performs well on verbal skills tests. Environmental-enriched learning as a learning resource can motivate learners in the process of developing attitudes, thinking, and creative and able to collaborate with the real environment. Therefore, environmentally conscious learning has a positive potential that can influence the learning style culture of learners.
