Abstract

This action research project aimed to improve the participation of learners in the class of General English. Collaborative activities were designed by grouping learners to work with the assigned tasks. The data were collected through observation. The findings showed that the participation of learners increased greatly characterized by the involvement of all learners in more active participation through group discussions and presentations of their works. Furthermore, the findings revealed that the learners look more confident to speak, more motivated to complete the assigned tasks, more enjoyable in learning, more focused on the lesson, and more engaged to think critically and creatively. In the attempt to disseminate our teaching experience, this article mainly focuses on the practical implementation of our collaborative action that is aimed to encourage other teachers and practitioners to implement the same research to improve their practices.

Abstract

This study explored the implementation of Merdeka Curriculum in English language learning at the senior high school level in Indonesia. The objective was to examine the policy, pedagogical practices, and challenges when implementing this curriculum. As a qualitative case study, it employed purposive sampling involving English teachers, school principals, and students from a senior high school in East Jaya, Indonesia. The instruments used were semi-structured interview, classroom observation and focus group discussion. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify the patterns and themes related to curriculum implementation and its impact. The results showed that the Merdeka Curriculum is supported by policies that encourage student independence, student-centeredness, and contextualization, thus enabling schools to adapt the curriculum to the needs of their students. Pedagogical strategies such as project-based learning, the use of authentic materials, and technology integration increase students' motivation, engagement, and language proficiency. However, challenges such as limited teacher readiness and lack of development of teacher professional resources hinder optimal implementation. This study highlighted the importance of systemic support through training, resource allocation, and collaborative professional communities to realize complete curriculum implementation.
