Abstract

The formulation of specific and achievable learning outcomes remains critical in the approach to teaching, especially in the EFL context. At the same time, some of the challenges mentioned by educators indicate the problem of defining the objectives, goals and outcomes of a curriculum. This research aims to critically analyze how Indonesian EFL secondary school teachers construct learning objectives in the context of Kurikulum 2013 and Kurikulum Merdeka. This study was an exploratory study using qualitative descriptive research methods. The inclusion of two teachers from the same school was intentional to reduce external bias. Triangulated qualitative data sources included participants' written consent forms and principal interviews, and quantitative lesson plan documents were evaluated using the ABCD and SMART model checklists. Strengths identified centered on high-level thinking skills and child-centered processes, while weaknesses included many frameworks and a lack of objective criteria. Based on the study's findings, a combination of detailed instructional contexts and performance bench marking can positively enhance the formulation of learning goals. They advance knowledge about approaches to implementing and refining instructional practices and goals in conjunction with curricular expectations in different contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of English Medium Instruction (EMI) on the development of students’ speaking competence in an international high school in Surakarta. As English mastery becomes an essential skill in the globalized era, understanding how EMI shapes speaking proficiency is increasingly urgent for Indonesian education. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and speaking assessments. Findings reveal that students face persistent challenges in grammar and pronunciation, while low confidence and limited academic vocabulary hinder active participation in EMI-based classrooms. The study also identifies role-play as the most effective technique for enhancing speaking performance within EMI contexts. This research offers novel insights into how EMI operates in Indonesian international schooling and contributes both theoretically and practically by informing teachers and policymakers on strategies to optimize EMI implementation and strengthen students’ speaking competence.
