Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka in English language teaching at senior high schools in Kabupaten Bandung, using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. A mixed-methods design was applied, involving 131 participants from four schools, including principals, vice principals, teachers, and students. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews, with instruments tested for validity and reliability. Findings show encouraging progress alongside key challenges. In context, schools (93.33%) and teachers (85.83%) affirmed strong alignment with institutional vision and policy, while students (72.93%) found lessons more engaging and relevant. Input results indicated sufficient training and facilities (80–85%), though students rated this lower (73.49%). The process dimension reflected strong implementation by schools (85%) and teachers (88.12%) through differentiation, project-based learning, and feedback, but student engagement was weaker (71.20%). In terms of product, schools (80%) and teachers (80.83%) observed improved performance, yet only 58.79% of students felt personal progress. Overall, the curriculum shows contextual relevance, resource readiness, and positive outcomes, but student experiences vary. Challenges include inconsistent transfer of teacher training to practice, supervision that often feels administrative, and student concerns over workload and confidence. Strengthening teacher capacity, fostering meaningful supervision, and building learner confidence are crucial to ensuring that Kurikulum Merdeka not only aligns with policy but also delivers deeper benefits to students.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between students’ speaking confidence and Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety (FLCA) among Indonesian university EFL learners. While previous studies have often investigated confidence and anxiety separately, limited research has explored their relationship at the tertiary level in the Indonesian context using a mixed-methods approach. To address this gap, the study employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design (QUAN ? qual). The participants were 24 English Education students selected through purposive sampling. Quantitative data were collected using a speaking confidence questionnaire and the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), which demonstrated acceptable to excellent reliability (? = .704 for the FLCAS and ? = .933 for the confidence scale). Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis were conducted, followed by semi-structured interviews to confirm the questionnaire results. The findings showed that most students reported high speaking confidence while experiencing moderate classroom anxiety. Correlation analysis revealed a strong and significant negative relationship between confidence and anxiety (r = –0.657, p < .05), indicating that higher confidence was associated with lower anxiety levels. Interview data were consistent with the quantitative findings and confirmed students’ self-reported levels of confidence and anxiety. These results suggest that confidence and anxiety coexist in EFL speaking contexts rather than functioning as opposing states. Pedagogically, the study underscores the need for confidence-building speaking tasks and supportive classroom practices to help learners manage anxiety and sustain oral communication.
