Abstract

This qualitative case study investigates the integration of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) into Teaching English for Young Learners (TEYL) within Indonesia’s merdeka curriculum. As the curriculum emphasizes differentiated learning and character development, CQ plays a crucial role in equipping students with the intercultural competencies necessary in the globalized world. Data were collected from 15 English teachers in public and private junior high schools in Kota Magelang, using semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that although many teachers intuitively apply aspects of CQ, its implementation remains inconsistent due to the limited curriculum guidance, lack of professional training, and insufficient resources. Teachers identified key benefits, including improved communication, empathy, and global awareness. The study recommends the explicit integration of CQ frameworks into curriculum design and teacher training programs. By systematically embedding CQ into TEYL, merdeka curriculum can cultivate culturally competent, empathetic, and globally minded students from an early age.

Abstract

This paper examines three prominent philosophical streams in education—Essentialism, Perennialism, and Progressivism—and analyzes their implications for English Language Learning (ELL). Each philosophy offers a distinct perspective on curriculum design, pedagogy, and learning objectives. Essentialism emphasizes core knowledge and skills, Perennialism focuses on enduring ideas and great works, while Progressivism prioritizes student-centered learning and real-world application. This paper explores the key characteristics of each philosophy, provides real-world examples, and discusses their specific applications and implications within the context of ELL. By understanding these diverse perspectives, teachers can make informed decisions about instructional strategies and create more effective learning environments for English language learners.
