Fatma Auliya Salsabila, Nur Fatimah

Abstract


English is the language used as an international language in which all humans on earth can communicate more easily even though the language they use every day is very different. So that is why education in Indonesia has also embedded English in its curriculum. Kurikulum Merdeka is the latest curriculum that has begun to be implemented in 2022. This research is a qualitative study that discusses the excellence, obstacles, as well as efforts of an English teacher at a private elementary school in Yogyakarta during the implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka. Teachers and students experience many advantages in applying the Kurikulum Merdeka in teaching learning activities. With the obstacles that occur, the teacher can make self-adjustment and improvement in order to be in line with the goals set in Kurikulum Merdeka. With Kurikulum Merdeka, a lot of things happen to the organizers, both school, students and teachers. However, the significant impact is felt by the teacher, because it is the teacher who has a direct role in applying it when learning teaching activities. However, teachers also gained a lot of experience and new pedagogical knowledge, so teachers experienced an improvement in self-competence from time to time.
