Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to explore the senior high school students’ perception on Independent Curriculum implementation in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom, particularly in English-speaking class activities. The shift from the previous curriculum to the independent curriculum resulted in many significant changes for teachers and students. In this case, the English subject experienced a complete change when the independent curriculum was implemented in schools, especially in teaching speaking skill. Using Photovoice research design, the researchers observed the speaking class, analyzed the photos taken by eleven students from three different classes during English-speaking activities and administered in-depth interview to these participants dealing with their photos. This research was conducted at SMAIT Ukhuwah Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan. The findings portrayed that the photos taken by students in the English-speaking class captured memorable, harmonious learning moments that were conducive, communicative, informative, and an accurate depiction of the atmosphere of the English-speaking class. This is further demonstrated from the students’ perspective through their photos showing communicative activities during English-speaking classes since the photos portray a well-organized, positive, engaging, and fun classroom environment as well as emphasizing individual development in line with the independent curriculum demand. The research highlights the effectiveness of the Independent Curriculum in fostering student engagement and communicative activities, suggesting that visual-based methodologies like Photovoice can provide meaningful insights into classroom dynamics

Abstract

This study looks at the firsthand experience of an English teacher at MAN Barito Selatan in Central Kalimantan who used a memorization method to help students learn more vocabulary. In this narrative inquiry research, I look at how she uses this method every day, including the problems she runs into, how she changes her strategy, and the effects she sees. Over a month, in-depth interviews and the teacher's reflective diary were used to gather data. The most important findings from the research show that the English teacher uses creative ways to make memorization activities less boring. At first, the students were hesitant, but they slowly gained confidence as they got positive feedback. The most significant problems were that the students in the class had different levels of skill and that there was insufficient time and teaching resources. The English teacher made it very clear that memorization is not the primary goal, but rather a way to help students practice speaking. This study shows how important it is for teachers to be "adapters" who can connect memorization method to real-life situations in the classroom. This English teacher's story can inspire other teachers in remote schools like this one to come up with ways to help students learn vocabulary that is both useful and kind.
