Student engagement was demonstrated through asking questions (88.24%), answering questions (94.12%), participating in discussions (76.47%), completing tasks (100%), and participating in games and tournaments (100%). Collaboration was demonstrated through cooperation (82.35%), task sharing (82.35%), contribution (76.47%), helping group members (94.12%), and communication (82.35%). Therefore, TGT can support student engagement and collaboration in Indonesian language learning.
