Enhancing EFL Learners’ English Proficiency through the Think-Pair-Share Technique with the Synergy of Digital Media Integration

Abstract

English as a foreign language poses unique challenges for the learners, often leading to passivity and disengagement in conventional teaching environments. Recognizing the pivotal role teachers play in addressing these issues, this study explores the integration of technology and the efficacy of the Think-Pair-Share technique in enhancing EFL students' English proficiency. Drawing upon a review of nine previous studies in Indonesian context, this research investigates the suitability of the Think-Pair-Share technique for improving various English skills among EFL learners. The results affirm the technique's potential to significantly elevate students' English scores while fostering active participation in both online and traditional classroom settings. As a result, this research serves as a practical guide for educators, providing best practices for implementing the Think-Pair-Share technique effectively in the digital era.
