Low student participation in English classes, such as reluctance to ask questions and lack of involvement in discussions, has become a challenge in the learning process. To address this issue, the Team Games Tournament (TGT) learning model was applied to create an interactive and enjoyable learning atmosphere.This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of TGT in increasing students’ participation in English learning. Using a quantitative correlational design, the research involved 32 students of class 7A at MTs Negeri 1 Mempawah. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and questionnaires tested for validity and reliability. The data analysis included normality testing and Pearson Product-Moment correlation.
The results indicated a significant improvement in student participation after the implementation of TGT. Students became more motivated, confident, and active during learning activities. Furthermore, the correlation test showed a positive and significant relationship between TGT implementation and student participation (r = 0.471; p = 0.006).
In conclusion, the TGT model is effective in enhancing student participation in English learning and can be recommended as an alternative pedagogical approach to foster engagement and interaction in the classroom.
