Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions of EFL students' perceptions regarding the Mentimeter-based activities andtheir specific features for help learning writing skills. The quantitative research method through descriptive analysis was employed, involving 30 EFL students from a private middle school in Malang. A closed-ended questionnaire was given via Google Forms to gather data. The results indicate that students perceive Mentimeter as a valuable tool for enhancing their learning experiences, promoting creativity, and providing a fun and interactive learning environment in writing skill. Mentimeter is also useful in promoting vocabulary expansion, language mechanics development, and comprehension. It was noted that the Word Cloud was particularly helpful for testing students' writing skills, engaging them in class, and improving academic outcomes. It may encourage competency growth, feedback, and discussions. By shedding light on Mentimeter's potential as a tool to help learning writing abilities for EFL students', the study adds to the body of knowledge on cutting-edge language learning techniques.

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.
