Abstract

This study aims to compare the teaching strategy preferences between novice and experienced English teachers in one of the Senior High School in Gianyar regency, in the context of the Merdeka Curriculum implementation. This research employed a qualitative descriptive design. The subjects were one novice teacher and one experienced teacher, while the objects were their teaching strategies preferences. The data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and teaching strategies checklist. The findings revealed that the novice teacher preferred Project-Based Learning and Cooperative Learning, which foster collaboration, creativity, and active student involvement. Meanwhile, the experienced teacher tended to use Discovery Learning and Integrated Learning, which promote student independence and the integration of cross disciplinary knowledge to deepen understanding. These findings indicate that teaching experience influences the selection of teaching strategies and highlight the importance of ongoing professional development to equip teachers with appropriate pedagogical approaches in alignment with 21st-century education demands.

Abstract

Research on rural English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education in Indonesia has documented resource gaps, uneven technology access, and teachers’ adaptive strategies, yet less attention has been paid to how professional commitment operates within private Islamic senior high schools (Madrasah Aliyah) serving rural communities. This qualitative comparative case study examines two private Madrasah Aliyah in North Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi. Data were generated through classroom observation, school documents, and in-depth interviews with two principals, two English teachers, and four students, and were analyzed thematically across the two cases. Both schools faced constrained facilities, limited technology, restricted recruitment options, and few opportunities for English use outside the classroom, although the level of resource availability differed between them. Teachers responded through low-cost instructional adaptation, repeated oral practice, motivational support, and individualized scaffolding. The findings indicate that professional commitment did not neutralize resource inequality; rather, it functioned as a pedagogical resource whose enactment was conditioned by the institutional resources available in each school. Student confidence and participation were observed alongside these practices, but the study does not claim causal effects or systematic gains in language proficiency. The study therefore interprets professional commitment as a mediating, not substitutive, factor in sustaining English learning under constraint and argues for simultaneous investment in teacher capacity and equitable learning resources
