Abstract

Reading fluency is an essential skill for academic achievement. Fluent readers are able to swiftly and accurately comprehend written information, allowing them to focus on the meaning and implications of what they are reading. This paper investigates the relationship between reading fluency and academic outcomes, including reading comprehension, writing and vocabulary. The study seeks to examine the nature of this relationship, how reading fluency influences specific areas of academic achievements, and whether individual differences, such as age or reading aptitude, moderate this relationship. Fifteen students from the fourth semester of the English Department at Universitas Nusa Cendana were recruited for this study, and a longitudinal design was used to investigate the relationship between reading fluency and academic achievement. The results indicate that reading fluency is positively related to reading comprehension, writing and vocabulary knowledge. Individual differences in age and reading aptitude also appear to mitigate the relationship between reading fluency and academic achievement.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum promotes a flexible, student-centered, and contextually grounded approach to learning, requiring educators to adapt their teaching strategies accordingly. English teachers, in particular, often encounter challenges in translating these principles into practical and effective learning modules. To address this gap, a workshop was conducted with the aim of enhancing participants' competence in developing English teaching modules that are both competency-based and aligned with the core values of the Merdeka Curriculum. The workshop engaged 120 students from the English Education Study Program, specifically those in their fifth semester, as prospective educators who will soon enter the teaching profession. Activities during the workshop included presentations, group discussions, and hands-on module design tasks. Evaluation methods involved pre- and post-workshop questionnaires to assess participants’ understanding and improvement in module development skills. The results indicated a significant increase in participants' ability to conceptualize, structure, and design interactive modules that incorporate the Merdeka Curriculum’s emphasis on autonomy, relevance, and learner engagement. In conclusion, the workshop successfully equipped future English teachers with practical tools and pedagogical strategies to develop effective teaching materials, thereby supporting the broader goals of educational reform in Indonesia.
