Abstract

Curriculum revisions are nothing new in Indonesia. Three curricular revisions have occurred throughout last two decades. Finally, the post-Covid-19 emergency curriculum was changed to Independent Curriculum, which purportedly streamlines K13. Merdeka Curriculum is only one year old, of course it still requires adjustments, especially in implementation. For this reason, researchers decided to examine teachers' perceptions (as the front guard of education) regarding the Independent Curriculum which focuses on implementation in teaching English at junior high school level in Banjar Regency, including regarding obstacles in implementation. This research uses descriptive qualitative with interviews as the data collection method. The type of interview used was semi-unstructured in-depth interview with 7 English teachers in 4 Junior High Schools in different sub-districts in Banjar District which implemented Merdeka Curriculum as respondents, determined using purposive sampling method. Following the investigation, respondents acquired 9 positive and 8 negative perceptions. According to the teacher's perception, Independent Curriculum has evolved to the times with usage of digital media/internet as a learning ied, making learning resources more abundant, there are also fun projects students can do, Aside from that, this curriculum is thought to be more supportive of students by using terms like student center, positive discipline, and differentiation approach, which allows teachers to provide more opportunities for students develop themselves by understanding them personally and providing comfortable environment. The obstacles encountered are mostly related to the facilities, teacher readiness, and increasingly limited time due to large number of tasks that teachers must complete as result of this curriculum..

Abstract

This research explored the English learning experiences of Generation Z students in Indonesia using a narrative inquiry approach. Amidst the rapid advancement of digital technology, it was important to understand how Generation Z, born in the digital era, interacted with English language learning. This research aimed to explore students' perceptions, challenges, and lived experiences in learning English to contribute to developing more relevant teaching practices. A qualitative research design was applied by collecting personal narratives from five purposively selected students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and reflective writing tasks, then thematically analyzed to identify patterns and individual perspectives. The findings of this research identified four main themes: (1) a preference for informal digital platforms, such as social media and learning apps; (2) emotional changes related to self-confidence and peer comparison; (3) the role of teacher support and classroom environment in enhancing motivation; and (4) a growing view of English as a practical skill that was more important than mere academic achievement. The findings illustrated the dynamic relationship between personal motivation, socio-cultural influences, and technological engagement in shaping students' language learning journeys. The research concluded that recognizing and integrating students' narratives in teaching practices could increase learner engagement, encourage independence, and support more adaptive and empathic teaching strategies. These findings' implications were highly relevant for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers to align English language teaching with the values and realities of Generation Z students.
