<![CDATA[Genre-Based Approach (GBA) has received more attention in recent years in Indonesia. This approach has been selected as the default approach to teach English as stated in the current and previous national curricula. Consequently, it is essential for Indonesian English teachers to understand the approach to effectively teach the subject. The purpose of this study is to investigate the implementation of GBA by junior high school teachers in teaching activities. A descriptive qualitative case study design was employed in conducting the study. To collect the necessary data regarding the implementation of the stages of GBA in teaching activities, four English teachers from a junior high school were given a set of questionnaires followed by a semi-structured interview. The questionnaire findings show that although all participants implemented GBA, they did so incompletely. The interview results further support this finding, revealing that almost all participants unconsciously employed GBA due to their unfamiliarity with the theory. From this study, it can be concluded that most participants still have difficulty implementing GBA relevant to the theory in their teaching activities. This study offers pedagogical implications for GBA practitioners to keep enriching and reflecting on their GBA practices and for policymakers to make enrichment programs related to GBA or EFL in Indonesia in general.]]>
