This study explores the English vocabulary learning experiences of 11th-grade students in a Vocational High School in East Java, Indonesia, within the framework of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum. While previous research has focused on teaching strategies and curriculum implementation from the teacher's perspective, this study emphasizes students' voices, particularly how they engage with vocabulary learning in a hospitality context. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires, and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis framework.Findings reveal three major themes: (1) Learner Agency and Personalization, where students exhibit autonomy in selecting vocabulary relevant to their interests and future careers; (2) Digital Literacy Through Vocabulary Acquisition, as students increasingly use digital platforms such as YouTube, games, and social media to enhance vocabulary learning; and (3) Navigation Challenges in Autonomous Learning, including difficulties in evaluating word relevance, managing abundant resources, and lacking standardized vocabulary lists. Quantitative data from the Likert-scale questionnaire support the qualitative findings, indicating high motivation and positive perceptions toward the curriculum, yet also highlighting issues such as limited guidance and time constraints. The study concludes that while the Merdeka Curriculum fosters independent and contextual vocabulary learning, ongoing support in terms of teacher facilitation, curriculum alignment, and access to appropriate learning resources is essential for maximizing student outcomes in vocational education.

This study aims to critically analyze the pedagogical representation in the Indonesian EFL textbook "Bahasa Inggris: Work in Progress" to assess its alignment with the learner-centered and transformative principles of Kurikulum Merdeka, focusing on how it shapes learner roles and pedagogical approaches. This qualitative descriptive study uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) based on Fairclough's (1995) three-dimensional model and content analysis. It examines textual, visual, and task design components of the "Bahasa Inggris: Work in Progress" textbook for Grade X, published in 2021. The textbook partially aligns with Kurikulum Merdeka, incorporating progressive elements like contextualized themes and multimodal resources. However, tasks often remain scripted, limiting autonomy and critical thinking. Visuals are illustrative rather than interrogative, and multimodal activities are peripheral, hindering full realization of transformative ideals. This research is useful for textbook developers, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) educators, and policymakers in Indonesia. It can inform material design, curriculum development, and pedagogical practices within language education, particularly concerning the implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka. This study uniquely combines Critical Discourse Analysis and multimodal analysis to evaluate an Indonesian EFL textbook under Kurikulum Merdeka. It advances existing knowledge by highlighting the tension between progressive curriculum goals and traditional material design, offering specific insights for future textbook revisions

This study explores the impact of subtitles in movies on English vocabulary acquisition among EFL learners at a secondary school in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach and a case study design, this study examined the vocabulary learning experiences of sixth-grade X1 students in one high school in East Java. The data collected over one semester included vocabulary test observations, semi-structured interviews using ten directed essay questions, and reflection notes to capture students' perceptions and learning strategies. Thematic data analysis showed that the use of movie subtitles is in both English and Bahasa Indonesia. Significantly facilitated vocabulary acquisition through simultaneous exposure to audio and text, contextualized word meanings, and natural repetition of language input. The findings of this study highlight several important aspects: (1) English subtitles help students recognize word forms and spelling, while Indonesian subtitles support the understanding of the overall meaning. (2) Students develop self-learning strategies such as pausing, repeating parts of the film, switching subtitle modes, and taking notes on new vocabulary. (3) Learning motivation and engagement are enhanced when the films viewed match students' interests and are accompanied by interaction with peers. However, they have encountered challenges, including dialogue that is too fast, a mismatch of subtitles with audio, and difficulty understanding idioms or indirect expressions. The study concludes that movie subtitles are an effective and engaging medium for vocabulary development, provided they are supported by proper scaffolding, learner awareness, and access to quality audiovisual materials.

Teaching English vocabulary in Indonesia often faces challenges, especially because students are required to memorize words without understanding their meanings. Many students struggle due to a lack of vocabulary mastery, which results in less effective learning. To address this issue, this article explores the extent to which technology-based learning through the Educaplay web media can impact English vocabulary teaching for elementary school students. This study also highlights several key aspects of vocabulary improvement, including material selection, the implementation of web-based game learning, learning tasks, and material evaluation. This research uses a qualitative descriptive design to provide an in-depth analysis of the issue. The study adopts an intrinsic case study approach to examine specific contexts where Educaplay is used as a teaching tool. The data is analysed using thematic analysis to identify patterns and themes related to vocabulary learning through technology-based learning. The results are as expected, namely vocabulary improvement through interactive media, increased motivation, engagement, and self-confidence, technical and accessibility challenges, and positive reflection and meaningful learning. he results of this study may provide significant implications for educators and policymakers. By integrating innovative web-based learning platforms such as Educaplay, teaching English vocabulary in elementary schools can become more engaging and effective, helping students to better understand and use English vocabulary in their daily lives Keywords: Vocabulary, Games, Technology, Educaplay
