| Abstract: | A wide range of strategies in English language teaching has been undertaken, such as the integration of local wisdom. This study aims at exploring the interrelationships between environmental literacy, critical thinking and problem solving, and technology integration within local-wisdom-based English language learning. Six constructs were generated, including Environmental System Interaction, Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving, Value and Pro-Environmental Behavior, Sasirangan Value Integration, Technology Integration, and Learning Competence. This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design. The researchers distributed a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire using Google Forms to 748 senior high school students in South Borneo. The data was analyzed by using partial least squares structural equation modeling version 4. The statistical results supported seven proposed hypotheses, but two hypotheses are not significantly different. The findings indicate that Sasirangan value integration is beneficial towards language competence, and other variables such as critical thinking and problem-solving and pro-environmental behavior provide a substantial influence on technology integration and Sasirangan value integration. The significance of the cultural contextualization of language learning shows that local wisdom is a noteworthy approach to enabling the students to be increasingly engaged, increasingly cultural, and even more likely to enhance their learning experience. |
