This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Small Group Discussion (SGD) learning model in enhancing students' learning activities in English subjects at SMP Negeri 1 Gunung Sindur. Data were collected using the Miles and Huberman model, employing a qualitative approach and a descriptive method. The findings indicate that the application of the SGD model effectively enhances student interaction, participation, and self-confidence in learning English. This model fosters students' speaking skills and increases their engagement in the overall learning process. Furthermore, the role of teachers as active facilitators in guiding students and providing motivation through a reward system serves as a crucial supporting factor in the success of this method. The validity of the data was ensured through source and method triangulation, guaranteeing the reliability and consistency of the research findings.
