Abstract : This article examines the visual documentation of rural landscapes produced by junior high school students in Kecamatan Gading, Probolinggo, Indonesia, as part of a community-based pengabdian masyarakat (community service) program. Drawing on 117 field photographs, the study analyzes how students visually frame three key elements of their environment: rivers, rice fields, and tobacco plots. Using Pandalungan cultural hybridity and Eco-Cultural Language Learning (ECLL) as theoretical lenses, the analysis reveals that students position themselves as observers at the edge of the landscape, document the environment as a layered space of nature and infrastructure, and visually normalize agricultural labor. These findings indicate that photovoice serves as a pedagogical tool that supports SDG 4 (Quality Education) by linking environmental observation with language learning. This article contributes to the literature on visual methods and place-based education by demonstrating how rural youth act as active interpreters of their own agrarian environments.

Keywords : Eco-Cultural Language Learning; Pandalungan; Photovoice; Visual Documentation; Quality Education.
