This study examines the barriers encountered by English teachers in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum at UPT SMPN 1 Sabbang Selatan. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that teachers face significant challenges in curriculum comprehension, resource availability, and assessment adaptation. Specifically, teachers struggle with understanding differentiated instruction, utilizing digital tools, and developing student-centered learning strategies. Additionally, limited access to teaching resources and inadequate training hinders effective curriculum execution. Classroom observations indicate that while some teachers attempt to implement innovative strategies, traditional methods remain dominant due to insufficient support. Assessment practices also vary, with some teachers effectively using structured rubrics, while others lack proper evaluation techniques. The study concludes that addressing these barriers requires targeted professional development programs, enhanced resource allocation, and institutional support to improve curriculum implementation. Future research should explore intervention strategies to overcome these barriers and optimize English language teaching under the Merdeka Curriculum framework.

This study aims to investigate the challenges faced by English teachers in rural junior high schools and the strategies they employ to address these challenges. The research was conducted at SMPN 1 Rongkong using a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with three English teachers. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal eight major challenges, namely: curriculum implementation, inadequate school infrastructure, limited instructional time and teacher qualifications, students’ lack of vocabulary mastery, low learning motivation, limited teaching resources and internet access, geographical isolation, and lack of parental support. Among these, limited resources and low student motivation were identified as the most dominant challenges. Teachers addressed these issues through adaptive and creative strategies, such as contextualized teaching, the use of local materials, interactive activities, and collaboration with parents. This study highlights the need for greater institutional support, improved infrastructure, and targeted teacher training to enhance English language teaching in rural areas. The findings provide practical implications for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders in improving the quality of rural education in Indonesia.
