Constructivism is an approach to learning that emphasizes the active role of students in building knowledge and understanding through interaction with their environment and personal experiences. In the context of Indonesian learning, the principles of constructivism can provide a solid foundation for improving students' language skills. First, learning is an active learning process. Second, learning must be through direct experience (life learning). Third, the importance of the mentoring process in learning (in the ZDP concept). Fourth, learning through the process of reasoning (reasoning processes). Fifth, social learning. Sixth, prior knowledge. Seventh, cognitive apprenticeship. Eighth, mediated learning. This article concludes that the application of the principles of constructivist learning theory in Indonesian learning can provide significant benefits in developing students' language skills. By enabling students' role as knowledge builders, encouraging social interaction, providing constructive feedback, and encouraging student-centered learning, Indonesian learning can become more meaningful, relevant, and effective for students.
