Positive perception of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum which is free to teach, students are free to express and develop according to their interests and talents and form students' character for the better. In contrast, a negative perception of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum is due to the implementation of an independent curriculum that prioritizes student character and ignores students' knowledge abilities. Even though students' knowledge skills are needed to continue to a higher level. In addition, the allocation of learning time is too short, and the learning time for the Pancasila profile and the P5 project is too long, resulting in lagging teaching materials, and learning resources such as cell phones that not all students can afford economically, some teachers are technologically challenged, the three teachers who feel comfortable with the old standards and have no experience in independent learning. Overall, teachers and schools are ready to implement the Merdeka curriculum.

Abstract

Speaking is an important skill in language learning, while Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) is an approach that places emphasis on the relevance of learning in the context of students' real-life experiences. This study examines the impact of implementing CTL on students' speaking abilities. By integrating social context, culture, and daily experiences, students are more motivated to engage in speaking activities. The methodology employed encompasses observations, interviews, and an analysis of learning outcomes. The results demonstrated that the implementation of CTL significantly enhanced students' confidence in speaking and their communication skills. The findings suggest that a contextual approach can be an effective strategy for learning speaking, thereby encouraging students to be more active and relevant in communicating.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of masculinity in the song lyrics of Imagine Dragons through a semantic analysis approach. Using Lyons' (1981) theory of contextual meaning and Chafetz's (1978) theory of masculinity, the research identifies how the contextual meaning representing masculinity is conveyed in three selected songs: Demons (2012), Thunder (2017), and Eyes Closed (2024). The findings based on contextual analysis reveal five categories of masculinity: other personality traits, interpersonal thinking, intelligence thinking, emotional control, and sexual aggression. The study highlights that Imagine Dragons' lyrics often reflect traditional masculinity values such as ambition, independence, resilience, and emotional restraint, with an emphasis on personal struggles and self-discovery. The results contribute to the understanding of masculinity in contemporary Western popular music and its impact on gender representation. Keywords: contextual meaning, Imagine Dragons, masculinity, semantics, song lyrics
