This research aims to describe students' perceptions of the utilization of the Feynman learning method in teaching English at SMPN 1 Sukomoro, with a specific focus on class IX-B. The Feynman method, known for its emphasis on deep understanding and the ability to explain concepts in simple language, was applied to support English learning in the classroom. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The data were collected through observation, questionnaire, and documentation involving 20 students as respondents. The findings revealed that most students held a positive perception of the Feynman learning method. They stated that this method helped them understand the material more clearly, encouraged them to be more active in class, and increased their confidence in explaining English concepts to others. Additionally, students felt more engaged and responsible for their learning process through peer teaching and self-explanation, which are central elements of the Feynman approach.
In conclusion, the Feynman learning method was perceived as an effective and enjoyable strategy for learning English among the students of class IX-B. The results suggest that incorporating this method can enhance students' comprehension and participation in English learning activities.
