Abstract

This literature review focuses on the study of the effectiveness of blended learning models in developing English language skills in higher education. This study aims to analyze the role of blended learning in improving language skills and technological readiness and identifying barriers faced in its implementation. This study is a systematic literature review that uses the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Guidelines as a model in the process of selecting and analysing literature data conducted on 30 articles from national and international journals indexed by Scopus and Sinta 2 and 3. The study results indicate that blended learning can significantly contribute to students' English skills. Still, its effectiveness is highly dependent on the support of technological infrastructure and the technical skills of users. Barriers such as limited internet access, gaps in technological knowledge, and preferences for face-to-face learning are obstacles that need to be overcome to optimize this model. The implications of this study highlight the importance of developing technological infrastructure, special training for lecturers and students, and more adaptive learning designs to optimize blended learning in higher education. This study contributes to providing comprehensive insights into modern learning strategies in the digital era

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum implemented in Indonesia aims to create an education system that is more adaptive and responsive to local and global needs. In English language teaching, curriculum flexibility allows teachers to adjust learning materials to students' local contexts, thus encouraging student engagement in the learning process. This study aims to explore the application of flexibility in English curriculum design under the Merdeka Curriculum in five junior high schools in Solok City, West Sumatra. A qualitative approach with a case study method was used, with data collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and student interviews. The results showed that flexibility in the preparation of teaching materials and teaching methods allowed teachers to adjust teaching to local needs. However, teachers faced challenges in balancing local materials with national competency standards and limited resources. This flexibility increased student engagement, although some students struggled without adequate guidance. In conclusion, support in the form of guidance, training, and additional resources are needed to optimize the implementation of curriculum flexibility
