21st-century learning is an activity that is faced with the fact that learners’ English learning and learning activities need to be approached within the framework of critical, communicative, and collaborative (Cs) thinking in responding to circumstances and realities. This study aims to investigate learners’ perspectives on English learning and how learners learn through English learning and explore teachers’ views on English learning patterns with 3 Cs frameworks to improve 21st-century life skills at the junior high school level. Generally, this study was to map the learners’ and teachers’ points of view on the implementation of 3 Cs in teaching English in a wetland area. This study has significance for enriching the learning model on 3 Cs in English teaching at the senior high school level. This study was designed to tabulate all learners’ and teachers’ views on English language learning based on the 3 Cs skills. The research was classified descriptive qualitative. The instrument used was a questionnaire to present facts in the field regarding learners’ and teachers’ views on English language learning with 3 Cs framework in a wetland environment to improve 21st-century life skills. The results showed that 3 Cs framework encourages students’ learning achievement in learning English both actively and passively. Student’ ability to invite students to recall what has been learned in the previous meeting, answer trigger questions, learn variably, work in groups, communicate, and use river text as a topic. Both teachers and students have their ways of understanding the learning process in the wetland space. As a result, learners in the wetland can adapt to their environment critically, communicatively, and collaboratively. These learning stages become the design of a 3 Cs framework in the English learning model. By having this material, students are expected to be familiar with applying the values of 3 Cs frameworks in English learning of wetland areas.
