Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation process of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum in English teaching in the classroom. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method to analyze the data. The study was conducted at SMA N 1 Tilamuta, focusing on English subject teachers and 10th-grade students. The results indicate that only 4 out of 12 teaching activities were effectively implemented during the teaching process. The first activity involves teachers organizing learning based on students' needs while connecting it to real-world contexts, the environment, and cultures that interest students, achieving 94.4%. Next, teachers designed interactive learning to facilitate structured, integrated, and productive interactions between teachers and students, among students, and between students and learning materials, reaching 88.89%. Teachers also applied various teaching methods with a student-centered approach, achieving 72.22%. Finally, teachers assigned tasks to assess students' understanding of the material taught, with a result of 55.55%. The study concludes that the implementation of the Merdeka curriculum in English learning at SMA N 1 Tilamuta still has significant shortcomings in pre-activities, main activities, and post-activities.

Abstract

This study explores students' perceptions of using Muzak (soft, non-lyrical background instrumental music) to enhance learning motivation in English Language Learning (ELL). Grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this qualitative study examines how subtle auditory environments support the psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness among first-year EFL students. Methodological triangulation was employed, combining semi-structured interviews as the primary method with observation and documentation. The participants consisted of five first-year English Education students at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. The thematic analysis revealed that four out of five participants perceived Muzak positively, noting that it provided significant emotional comfort, reduced language anxiety, improved cognitive focus, and fostered a less monotonous learning atmosphere. Conversely, one participant experienced Muzak as a cognitive distraction, preferring absolute silence for language processing tasks. The findings suggest that while Muzak serves as an effective contextual support to sustain intrinsic motivation, its implementation should remain flexible to accommodate individual sensory preferences and diverse learning styles.
