Abstract

Merdeka Curriculum is a newly implemented curriculum in Indonesia, making it an important topic for discussion, particularly regarding the teaching approaches. However, there is limited research related to this matter. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the teaching approaches employed under Merdeka Curriculum. This qualitative research adopts a study design and involves observation. The data are gathered from an English teacher in one of the junior high schools that has implemented Merdeka Curriculum. The findings indicate that the teacher implemented the Genre-based Approach in the EFL classroom, which is recognized by Merdeka Curriculum. However, it was found that one crucial stage known as the Joint Construction of the Text (JCoT) was missing in the implementation, and the teacher did not provide feedback to students. Therefore, it is important for teachers to incorporate various pedagogical strategies. These include visualization techniques, instructional house training, collaborative lesson study, and evidence-based professional development approaches like attending genre-based teaching workshops or seminars. By integrating these measures into their teaching repertoire, teachers can optimize their instructional practices and create a more motivating learning environment for students.

Abstract

This study explores the similarities and differences between English and Japanese past form verbs, aiming to provide insights into their linguistic characteristics for both linguistics and pedagogy. The research investigates how past tense verbs are formed in both languages and whether notable contrasts exist in their regular and irregular verb forms. Using a contrastive and descriptive method, the study compares 534 regular and 288 irregular English verbs with 302 regular and 5 irregular Japanese verbs. The findings reveal that the number of regular verbs in both languages is relatively similar, but the disparity becomes evident in the irregular verb forms, where English contains 283 irregular verbs, while Japanese has only 5. These results highlight a clear difference in the complexity of irregular verb conjugation between the two languages. The study’s significance lies in its contribution to contrastive analysis in linguistics, offering valuable insights for language learners and educators. For English and Japanese language learners, understanding these differences can facilitate more effective language acquisition and teaching practices. The novelty of this research is its focus on the comparative analysis of English and Japanese verb forms, which can aid in the development of targeted pedagogical strategies, particularly for learners transitioning between these languages. The findings suggest the importance of tailored instruction to address the challenges posed by irregular verb usage in English and the relative simplicity of Japanese verb conjugation.
