Abstract

This study explores the strategies and challenges faced by English teachers in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum with a focus on social-emotional development (SED) in junior high schools in Boyolali, Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and document analysis, the research examines how teachers integrate SED into English lessons and how students respond. Teachers employed interactive methods such as group discussions, projects, and games to enhance emotional intelligence and engagement, although they faced challenges related to student motivation, behavior, and classroom constraints. Overall, students responded positively, appreciating the engaging learning atmosphere. The study underscores the need for strong collaboration among teachers, students, and parents to support both academic and social-emotional growth within the Merdeka Curriculum framework.

Abstract

Drama, English Camp, and Tourism are considered effective strategies for improving students' conversational skills in secondary schools. However, studies exploring the integration of these three approaches are still limited. Addressing this gap, the present study aims to explore students’ experiences in an innovative English learning program, specifically through Drama (English Performance), English Camp, and Edutrip (Tourism), and to identify the benefits and challenges encountered in improving their speaking skills. The study is driven by students’ low interest and lack of self-confidence in speaking English in conventional classroom settings, highlighting the need for innovative and engaging learning environments. This research employed a qualitative method with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews and documentation involving six students from a global class at one Muhammadiyah junior high school in Surakarta who participated in the English Conversation Program. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the English Conversation Program offered enjoyable and contextual learning experiences, improving students’ confidence, fluency, pronunciation, and spontaneous speaking ability. The main challenges faced included pronunciation difficulties, anxiety, and limited vocabulary, which were addressed through self-practice, peer collaboration, and vocabulary preparation. This study highlights the importance of experiential learning in enhancing students’ English speaking skills.
