Enhancing Communication Skills through Global Diversity Reinforcement: Strategic Approaches of Social Studies Teachers

This study explores the strategies implemented by social studies teachers to develop students’ communication skills through the reinforcement of global diversity. Conducted at SMP Al-Kautsar in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia, the research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were gathered through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, and validated using triangulation. The findings reveal that teachers employ a mix of group discussions, lectures, and role-playing (sociodrama) to enhance communication competencies. These strategies not only foster interactive skills among students but also promote an inclusive learning environment where global cultural diversity is recognized and valued.
