Abstract

The development of digital technology has brought significant changes to English language learning, particularly in the development of listening skills, which are often considered difficult by EFL learners. Powtoon, as an animation-based audio-visual medium, is relevant because it provides visual support that helps students understand spoken input more clearly. This study aims to systematically review studies on the use of Powtoon to improve students' listening skills. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA guidelines, covering the processes of identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and inclusion of articles published between 2020 and 2025 from Mendeley, ERIC, PubMed and Google Scholar. A total of five articles that met the criteria were analyzed in depth. The study's results show that Powtoon generally increases students' attention, motivation, and engagement during listening activities. The majority of studies reported a significant increase in listening comprehension, mainly because contextual visualization reduced students' cognitive load. However, one study found that the increase was not significant, suggesting that Powtoon's effectiveness is influenced by the learning design and its application. Powtoon is a potential medium for supporting listening and learning and has important implications for teachers in integrating multimedia to improve student comprehension

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum is implemented to meet the demands of 21st-century learning through flexibility, simplification of material, and strengthening of the Pancasila Student Profile. This study aims to identify the challenges of implementing the Merdeka Curriculum at the junior high school level through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Articles were searched for through Mendeley, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using the PRISMA guidelines, with criteria of articles published between 2020 and 2025, written in English, and discussing implementation challenges in junior high schools. A total of 16 articles met the inclusion criteria. The results show that this curriculum offers positive opportunities, such as increased teacher creativity and more contextual learning, but implementation challenges remain dominant. The main obstacles include low teacher understanding of core concepts such as differentiation, formative assessment, and teaching module development, limited school facilities and technology, low student motivation and readiness, and a lack of training and ongoing mentoring. In addition, the transition from the previous curriculum and lack of parental support also hindered the implementation process. These findings emphasize that the success of the Merdeka Curriculum requires increased teacher capacity, improved infrastructure, and systematic and continuous support.
