Abstract

Curriculum reforms play a vital role in improving the quality of teaching and learning, particularly in language.  Kurikulum Merdeka introduces a student-centered approach to learning in Indonesia. Yet little is known about how it is implemented in Islamic secondary schools where national and religious goals must be aligned. This study investigates English teachers’ perspectives on the curriculum’s effectiveness, challenges, and best practices in this context. A qualitative case study was conducted through classroom observations, interviews, and field notes. Findings indicate that the curriculum enhances student engagement, particularly when instruction involves real-life themes, technology, and task choice. Teacher 1 noted that even students who “usually sleep in class now want to learn,” while Teacher 2 found learners more active when discussing “issues happening around us.” However, limited training, infrastructure constraints, and unclear assessment practices created implementation challenges. Teachers addressed these issues through differentiated instruction, authentic materials, peer collaboration, and ongoing professional learning. This study contributes context-specific insights into how English instruction adapts to Kurikulum Merdeka in Islamic schooling. It recommends more practical teacher training, improved digital access, and clearer assessment guidelines. Future research should examine diverse regions and track long-term development of learner autonomy under the curriculum.

Abstract

This study explored the alignment between teacher expectations and learner experiences of the BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia for Foreign Speaker) program. Since the demand for BIPA is increasing, these dynamics have to be understood in order to improve language learning outcomes. The research employed a mixed methods approach in a university in Batam and involved eight teachers and nine learners of different cultural backgrounds. Interviews, questionnaires and observations were used to gather data. The partial alignment of teacher expectations and learner experiences were found. Both focus on speaking skills and give regular feedback, but they differ in how to teach, how fast they should pace the lesson, and how to engage learners. The challenges that were faced include grammar, pronunciation and understanding spoken instructions. The research concluded that these gaps are addressed through differentiated instruction, interactive activities and culturally responsive teaching. These changes might increase learner satisfaction and program effectiveness. Research findings made clear the need for more learner centered approaches and provide important guidance for stakeholders and future studies to improve BIPA programs.
