This paper aims to explore the practice of an English placement test at one of the English education programs during three different testing periods (before the COVID-19 pandemic, during the pandemic, and after the pandemic). Further, the study sought to investigate the views of the test administrators, mainly focusing on the challenges they faced administering the test during the period mentioned. Using a qualitative case study approach, the researchers gathered the data from the results of observations and final reflections of the test administrators. The findings revealed that the placement test in three different periods applied similar three consecutive stages: the pre-testing stage, the testing day, and the post-testing stage. The goal of the test is also similar to that it is used to gauge the newly intake students entering TBIP. Rather than grouping students for specific classes, the placement test was conducted as a part of need analysis strategies to understand students’ English proficiency levels. While the placement tests before and after the pandemic have similarities, especially in preparation activities, the test format, and the test delivery, the placement test during COVID-19 differs. Despite those issues, the placement test administrators believed the test brought additional benefits. In addition to gauging the newly intake students’ English proficiency, the placement test was a way to start building positive relationships with students before meeting in an actual class. Hence, the test administrators have mixed feelings upon administering the placement test. Some final thoughts conclude the papers.

This study explored the implementation of Merdeka Curriculum in English language learning at the senior high school level in Indonesia. The objective was to examine the policy, pedagogical practices, and challenges when implementing this curriculum. As a qualitative case study, it employed purposive sampling involving English teachers, school principals, and students from a senior high school in East Jaya, Indonesia. The instruments used were semi-structured interview, classroom observation and focus group discussion. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify the patterns and themes related to curriculum implementation and its impact. The results showed that the Merdeka Curriculum is supported by policies that encourage student independence, student-centeredness, and contextualization, thus enabling schools to adapt the curriculum to the needs of their students. Pedagogical strategies such as project-based learning, the use of authentic materials, and technology integration increase students' motivation, engagement, and language proficiency. However, challenges such as limited teacher readiness and lack of development of teacher professional resources hinder optimal implementation. This study highlighted the importance of systemic support through training, resource allocation, and collaborative professional communities to realize complete curriculum implementation.
