The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) provides a basis for developing language education curriculum, conducting language learning and teaching, and administering language assessment. In the Indonesian context, the recently launched Kurikulum Merdeka refers to the CEFR in targeting the English Proficiency levels that should be achieved in English Subject across different schooling levels. Hence, teachers’ understanding and perceptions of the framework become important. This study aimed to examine the pre-service EFL teachers’ perception of the CEFR. A survey using a 5-point Likert Scale questionnaire and semi structured interviews were conducted to collect both quantitative and qualitative data from 49 pre-service EFL teachers who were selected through a random sampling technique. The results showed that the participants had positive perceptions of the CEFR but they had limited to a moderate understanding level of the CEFR. They only received limited CEFR exposure from a course in their teacher training program. They also mostly associated the CEFR with standardized testing and language certification without understanding the underlying principles of the framework. More comprehensive CEFR training for teacher candidates should be considered before Kurikulum Merdeka is compulsorily implemented. Also, the research can play a crucial role in shaping language education by influencing curriculum development, teacher training, policy decisions, quality assurance measures, student outcomes, and ongoing professional development within the field.

Media as an important part of English teaching has been developed massively. The role of media in teaching English cannot be separated from students and teachers. This study aims to measure the effect of media that has been developed by the writer in order to know the effectiveness of the media itself in improving students’ vocabulary. OCEAN is a media development that provide some features to improve students’ English skill. This study implemented and tested OCEAN to measure the effectiveness of the media. This study used experimental quantitative research and T-test to gain and analyze the data. The result said that the average value of English vocabulary from pre-test is 65.81 ± 5.19, which is lower than the average value of English vocabulary in the post-test, which is 82.12 ± 5.86. To find out whether there is a significant increase in the average variable value of English vocabulary from the pre to post, the Wilcoxon test was carried out. From the Wilcoxon test, it was found that the calculated Z value was smaller than the -Z table (-4,594 < -1,960), and the p-value was smaller than α (0,000 < 0,050), so the decision was taken that H0 was rejected, which means that there is a significant difference in the average between pre and post-test. The conclusion of this study showed that the media is effective in teaching English vocabulary.
