Abstract

This study aims to reveal gender values ​​in the narrative text of English textbook and how the values meet the requirement of the 2013 Curriculum. This research uses a qualitative approach. The data source is narrative text in English textbook published by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Data collected through documentation techniques by citing. Meanwhile, the data analysis procedure includes finding how many narrative texts are in the English textbook, reading the text carefully, taking notes and collecting citations. In addition, it is found that the narrative text was dominated by the values ​​of gender inequality. Gender inequality is still considered as a silent missile in today’s education and is still present in many stories or classic narrative texts in English textbooks. The researcher also found the unsuitability of the values​​with the 2013 Curriculum. Finally, based on the findings of this study, the researcher suggested that educational institutions pay more attention to the content of textbooks, not only in accordance with the current curriculum, but also according to student’s needs.

Abstract

Praktik patriarki yang menggunakan perempuan sebagai objek seksual dalam iklan visual menundukkan stereotip gender, mempromosikan dominasi perempuan di berbagai bidang kehidupan, dan memicu pelecehan seksual. Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah untuk me(re)konstruksi citra perempuan dalam media visual periklanan Indonesia sebagai upaya pencegahan kekerasan seksual terhadap perempuan serta dapat menjadi bahan kajian untuk menentukan kebijakan dalam peraturan periklanan di Indonesia. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Kualitatif. Data diambil dari media yaitu Iklan TV yang tayang di Youtube, dan Angket. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori Stuart Hall dan didukung oleh konsep Male Gaze. Hasil dari penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa beberapa iklan menampilkan citra perempuan bermartabat, namun representasi citra perempuan di media periklanan di Indonesia menunjukkan kecenderungan objektifikasi yang signifikan. Terlebih, dari hasil kuesioner yang dibagikan ke 60 responden menunjukkan masih rendahnya tingkat kesadaran masyarakat akan objektifikasi perempuan dalam media visual periklanan. Peran masyarakat sipil, pelaku bisnis, dan pemerintah sebagai pemegang regulasi saling berkolaborasi untuk menghindari objektifikasi sehingga mencegah kekerasan seksual terhadap perempuan dalam ranah domestik ataupun publik.

Abstract

The implementation of the English Language Teaching (ELT) curriculum in Indonesia continues to face challenges despite numerous reforms, including the transition from the 2013 Curriculum to the Merdeka Curriculum. This systematic literature review examines 37 studies published between 2013 and 2024 to identify trends and challenges in ELT curriculum implementation. Findings reveal that qualitative research methodologies, especially case studies and descriptive approaches, dominate the field. The primary challenges identified include limited teacher competence and proficiency, pedagogical and practical issues, and student-related challenges. Teachers often lack sufficient English proficiency and pedagogical skills to implement innovative approaches like Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), the Scientific Approach, and Genre-Based Approaches (GBA). Additionally, low student motivation and passive learning behaviours persist, further hindering curriculum effectiveness. The study suggests enhancing professional development to equip teachers with practical skills and curriculum familiarity. Practical and contextualized curriculum guidelines and comprehensive evaluation mechanisms are also needed to bridge the gap between policy and classroom practice. Addressing these challenges is essential for improving ELT outcomes in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explored English teachers' practices in the implementation of English Language Teaching (ELT) under the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesian senior high schools.  Employing a qualitative case study approach, the researchers collected data through semi-structured interviews with three English teachers from three schools. This study investigated how teachers adapt the curriculum to classroom practice and their perceptions of students’ engagement and learning outcomes. To provide contextual insight, placement tests (vocabulary and reading tests) and writing test results were examined to illustrate the alignment between teaching approaches and outcomes. The findings revealed that teachers who adopted student-centered and collaborative strategies reported higher student motivation and stronger motivation on both tests. In contrast, a textbook-oriented or teacher-centered approach is associated with limited student progress. Therefore, this study emphasizes the critical role of teacher agency and the availability of resources in realizing the goals of the Merdeka Curriculum.
