Abstract

One of the causes of the extinction of a regional language is because speakers or people who use the language no longer use the language. One of the ways to overcome this issue is to include the Enggano regional language and literature into local content subjects. This study aims to reveal the conditions of learning the Enggano language at the level of formal education at the seventh-grade class of junior high school number 17 and 18 (henceforth SMPN 17 and 18) in North Bengkulu - Sumatera Indonesia, based on the activities of students and teachers. This study is a descriptive quantitative study and the data was collected through observation checklist instrument which is then analyzed quantitatively. The components observed in this scientific learning are preliminary activities, core activities (observing, analyzing, gathering information, reasoning, and communicating), and closing activities. The participants of the study were 50 students and two teachers from each class. The result shows that the Enggano language learning applied at the seventh-grade class of SMPN 17 and 18 North Bengkulu, by implementing the 2013 curriculum with a scientific approach and the develop materials are in a very good category (4.82) from the teacher’s point of view (5.82), and is in a good category (4.39) from the students’ point of view. This means that the teacher has maximally implemented the developed material according to the indicators specified in scientific-based learning, but the students still need to respond more optimally to what the teacher does. The condition of learning the almost extinct language in the outer islands of Indonesia is influenced by the habits of students in using the local language every day; the ability of the teacher to process the class; familiarity of students and teachers; the teacher’s strategy in applying the scientific approach; teaching materials used; and the teachers’ mastery of the regional language.
