Abstract

Pengajaran ‘writing/menulis’ sebagai keterampilan berbahasa yang tergolong dalam ‘productive skills’ menuntut guru bahasa Inggris untuk mengarahkan peserta belajar untuk bereksperesi dalam bentuk bahasa tulisan yang membutuhkan elemen-elemen keterampilan berbahasa seperti penggunaan pilihan kata yang tepat, penulisan ejaan kata yang tepat, dan penulisan kalimat-kalimat yang terterima menurut kaidah-kaidah bahasa. Kesemua elemen-elemen tersebut berbeda dengan penerapan keterampilan berbahasa ‘speaking/berbicara’, yang mana tatkala berbicara, pembicara dapat menggunakan isyarat, penggunaan ekspresi wajah, dan juga mengajukan pertanyaan. Penulis menawarkan komponen pembelajaran menulis seperti praktek dan tujuan menulis, bagaimana menyusun isi dan pengalaman-pengalaman belajar untuk pengajaran menulis, pendekatan-pendekatan menulis, pengajaran menulis berbasis teks,dan peran teknologi untuk mengajarkan keterampilan menulis dalam bahasa Inggris.

Abstract

Content-based Instruction (CBI) has three most commonly known models. This article presents a Theme-based as one of the CBI models that has been implemented in integrating content and language for teaching students in higher education. The implemented model needs to be developed to keep up with new challenges and to be aligned with the curriculum standards and the students’ needs. Therefore, curriculum standards development is described to show the matrix of curriculum targets from personal or general-related goals to academic or work-related goals. Then, as the consequence of the curriculum standards development, a high possibility to implement two other types of CBI, namely the Sheltered Model and the Adjunct Model is also described.

Abstract

Dalam menghadapi krisis lingkungan global pendekatan pendidikan yang mendorong tanggung jawab ekologis berbasis nilai sangat penting. Studi ini mengusulkan sebuah model untuk mengintegrasikan prinsip-prinsip keagamaan ke dalam pendidikan bahasa Inggris (ELE). Tujuan dari model ini adalah untuk menjembatani perbedaan antara peran pendidikan lingkungan yang praktis dan peran moral komunitas beragama. Kelas ELE dianggap cocok untuk meningkatkan literasi lingkungan yang dianggap sebagai kewajiban religius. Kerangka Literasi Lingkungan Berbasis Iman diciptakan melalui analisis tematik teks keagamaan dalam penelitian ini. Metode kualitatif berbasis desain digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Selanjutnya kerangka ini diubah menjadi materi pelajaran ELE seperti RPP dan tugas berbasis proyek. Potensi efektivitas integrasi ditunjukkan oleh analisis yang berasal dari penelitian sebelumnya bukan kerja lapangan. Siswa menunjukkan keinginan untuk bertindak dan rasa tanggung jawab yang lebih besar yang tercermin dalam gagasan seperti khalifah (kepemimpinan). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jika dibandingkan dengan pendekatan sekuler semata etika dan narasi keagamaan dapat memberikan makna yang lebih mendalam bagi pendidikan lingkungan. Model ini menghubungkan pembelajaran bahasa dengan prinsip-prinsip lingkungan yang kuat yang tertanam dalam keyakinan keagamaan dan dapat direplikasi untuk mendorong pedagogi yang luas

Abstract

Lately, education in Indonesia has been getting a big shake-up from the Merdeka Curriculum reform, which really pushes for more flexibility, teaching that focuses on students, and assessments based on what they can actually do. This change hits hard for TEFL/EFL curriculum planning, needing to match up with national standards while dealing with what's really happening in classrooms. But from what the research shows, there's this ongoing struggle: lots of teachers and schools get the idea of the reform, yet putting it into action often falls short. For instance, studies point out that even though most schools say they understand the Merdeka Curriculum clearly, things like not enough teacher training and limited resources get in the way of real progress (Sephiawardani & Bektiningsih, 2023; Andika & Yulia, 2025). Other work highlights how English teachers, despite being eager, have trouble tweaking assessments, planning lessons that suit different kids, and creating materials that fit the local scene (Karimatunisa & Sartika, 2024; Andika & Yulia, 2025). This review of the literature aims to chart out how recent studies (2021–2025) describe TEFL/EFL curriculum design amid these changes, spot the big gaps, and suggest ways forward for better curriculum development. From what we've pulled together, things like teacher training, ongoing help, and better ways to turn policies into classroom reality are key to closing the gap between the reform's goals and what's actually happening in schools.

Abstract

The use of global English language teaching (ELT) syllabuses in Indonesian secondary schools often creates problems because the content and examples do not always match students’ cultural contexts and learning needs. This qualitative, descriptive literature review examines how globally designed ELT syllabuses are adapted for Indonesian classrooms. Drawing on fifteen Scopus-indexed studies published between 2020 and 2025, including works by Zein et al. (2020), Hanifa et al. (2024), Nurteteng et al. (2024), Fudiyartanto (2024), and Al Fikri (2025), the review identifies common adaptation strategies, challenges, and resulting teaching practices. Findings show that teachers frequently modify global syllabuses by adjusting cultural content and simplifying language to fit local realities (Hanifa et al., 2023; Andriani, 2024). However, obstacles remain, such as limited school support, insufficient teaching materials, and mismatches between curriculum demands and school policies (Nurteteng et al., 2024; Pajarwati, 2021). Although previous studies provide useful insights, most fail to offer concrete models for adapting global ELT materials to Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum, highlighting the need for further research.

Abstract

This paper synthesizes findings from prior studies that investigate English teachers’ perceptions and practices in implementing English curriculum policies for Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) in Indonesian classrooms. A total of 25 national and international research articles published between 2013 and 2025 were reviewed to describe how teachers understand curriculum policy, respond to curriculum change, and engage in continuous professional development. The review also explores challenges teachers face and strategies they employ when translating curriculum documents into classroom practices. The analysis identifies four recurring themes: (1) varied perceptions of curriculum policy documents, (2) gaps between conceptual understanding and classroom implementation, (3) the influence of teacher competence on curriculum enactment, and (4) forms of resistance and constraints that limit teachers’ awareness and adoption of curriculum guidelines. Overall, the findings highlight the critical role of teacher knowledge, competence, and institutional support in shaping curriculum implementation across classroom contexts, and suggest the need for more sustained professional development aligned with actual teaching realities.

Abstract

The alignment between institutional syllabuses and national curriculum goals is essential for ensuring coherence, educational quality, and effective learning outcomes. This study examines how English Language Education programs at the State Islamic University of Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau align their institutional syllabuses with national curriculum standards, particularly the Kurikulum Merdeka. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design, data were collected through document analysis of institutional syllabuses and semi-structured interviews with lecturers and curriculum coordinators. The findings indicate partial alignment, in which learning outcomes generally reflect national competencies, while inconsistencies persist in the implementation of instructional strategies and assessment practices. Key challenges include limited understanding of the national curriculum framework, insufficient structured professional development, and minimal collaborative curriculum planning. The study identifies curriculum mapping, outcome-based syllabus design, and collaborative professional development as strategic approaches to strengthening alignment. It concludes that sustained institutional commitment, continuous evaluation, and faculty collaboration are essential for achieving coherent and meaningful curriculum implementation in English language education.
