Abstract

This research aims to explore the implementation of English writing teaching within the curriculum framework of Merdeka Curriculum at Indonesian vocational high schools, focusing on understanding, classroom practice, and challenges faced by teachers in implementing project-based, student-centered principles. Adopting a concurrent, transformative mixed-methods design, data were obtained from thirteen English teachers in Malang, East Java, through qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys to reveal their perceptions and practices. The results indicate that a gap between the intended flexible curriculum, centered on differentiated instruction, student choice, and active engagement, and what is actually happening in classrooms has continued to persist. Instructors have a partial understanding of such pedagogical facts. However, the practice is suppressed by students' varying writing proficiency levels, scarce learning materials, inadequate professional training, and limited support from the school. Merdeka Curriculum: a source of hope. Nevertheless, as much as Merdeka Curriculum offers an inspiring vision of pedagogical transformation. Structurally, there are impediments to its effective realization in the world of vocational education. Continued systemic support and increased pedagogical alignment are necessary to achieve a more meaningful curricular change. Empowering teacher initiative, developing teacher collaboration, and providing continuous professional development are essential to improve writing instruction in trade or technical schools. The study provides policymakers, administrators, and curriculum developers with the knowledge to simplify support systems, enabling English teachers to implement Merdeka Curriculum in the writing classroom fully.

Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and participatory observations. The findings reveal that transfer students struggle with understanding vocabulary, sentence structures, and cultural differences that affect their communication skills. Strategies such as seeking support from peers and teachers and utilizing digital learning tools were found to help students overcome these challenges. Moreover, students who received social support from their peers and educators were more successful in acquiring proficiency in the new language. In contrast, students who experienced social isolation faced more difficulties in language learning.

Abstract

This research explores English teachers’ perceptions and experiences in integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools into primary and secondary English language instruction. Using a qualitative narrative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six teachers across educational levels. The findings reveal that teachers generally perceive AI positively, recognizing its potential to enhance student engagement, provide personalized feedback, and support the development of vocabulary, grammar, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Tools such as Quizizz, Grammarly, ChatGPT, and Google Assistant were found to foster learner autonomy and confidence. However, challenges persist, including limited infrastructure, time constraints, and varying levels of digital literacy. Teachers also expressed concerns about overreliance on AI, reduced critical thinking, and diminished student originality. The research concludes that while AI offers valuable pedagogical support, its effective integration requires thoughtful planning, ethical awareness, and institutional backing.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of the Merdeka Mengajar Platform (PMM) in shaping teacher identity and its impact on professionalism, pedagogical practices, and student learning outcomes among English teachers at secondary schools. Employing a qualitative phenomenological design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations with three teachers actively engaged in PMM. The findings reveal that PMM strengthens teachers’ professional identity by providing structured guidance, mentoring, and collaborative opportunities, which enhance confidence and resilience. In terms of pedagogy, the platform encourages a shift from teacher-centered to student-centered approaches, including project-based learning, peer feedback, digital storytelling, and role-play, thereby fostering innovation and active student engagement. Furthermore, PMM contributes to professional growth by motivating continuous learning and experimentation, while simultaneously improving student outcomes through increased motivation, confidence, and participation. Overall, PMM functions not only as a technological resource but also as a professional ecosystem that bridges teacher development with student success, offering significant implications for the advancement of English language education in Indonesia.
