Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate how well the English textbooks used in Merdeka curriculum align with the curriculum objectives, especially in terms of developing English language skills and critical thinking, and to assess the extent to which the textbooks represent cultural diversity and promote intercultural understanding as emphasized by the Merdeka Curriculum. The first study conducted by Fauzi (2020) focused on the content analysis of English textbooks at the junior high school level based on the 2013 curriculum. The main objective of the study was to assess whether the materials in the textbooks support the development of students' language skills, especially in reading and speaking, which are important parts of learning English at a higher level. The Merdeka Curriculum is built on several key principles, which guide implementation in the classroom. One of its central principles is project-based learning (PBL), where students are encouraged to work on real-world problems through interdisciplinary projects. Another key principle is the development of critical thinking skills. The Merdeka Curriculum promotes the idea that education should prepare students to think analytically and independently, rather than simply memorizing facts. In this study, the “Interaktif Bahasa Inggris” textbook will be evaluated against these Merdeka Curriculum principles. The analysis will examine whether textbooks provide opportunities for project-based learning, promote critical thinking and incorporate contextually relevant content. This study uses a qualitative method by analyzing how textbook content reflects curriculum objectives, and identifying strengths, weaknesses and gaps. The design of this study researchers adopted a qualitative content analysis design, which is suitable for analyzing textbook content automatically. The main data source data for this study is the textbook “English interaction” for grade 8 students. The data will consist of all textual materials, exercises, activities and cultural references included in the textbook. This study will follow several steps of the preparation phase collecting and reviewing relevant literature on content analysis, Merdeka curriculum and evaluation of educational materials. Data analysis using this qualitative content involves interpreting and systematically categorizing textbook content based on a predetermined coding scheme. So that the results will then be compared with the curriculum guidelines to assess whether the textbook effectively supports the objectives of the Merdeka curriculum. As the foundation of various disciplines, philosophy is integrated into English language learning within the context of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum. This study aims to elaborate on the relationship between philosophy and English language learning in accordance with the principles of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum. The research method used is qualitative, employing a systematic literature review approach. The findings indicate a significant relationship between philosophy and English language learning within the framework of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum. First, philosophy provides guidance for the process of English language learning. Second, English language learning can be viewed as an aspect of ontology in philosophy. Third, within the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum, English language learning adopts constructivist theory. Fourth, the approach to English language learning aligns with modern and postmodern philosophical thought. Fifth, the principles of moral philosophy are applied in English language learning to develop Pancasila character competencies. Sixth, there is a reciprocal interaction between philosophy and English language teaching. Seventh, the axiological, epistemological, and ontological values of philosophy are reflected in the assessment of English language learning. Eighth, the theory of truth in philosophy is relevant to English language learning. Moreover, every cultural element in the textbook is closely related to the goals of the Merdeka Curriculum, which aims to strengthen the character of Pancasila students, such as having faith and devotion to God Almighty, possessing noble character, being independent, enjoying helping others, appreciating global diversity, and fostering critical thinking and creativity. Thus, it can be concluded that the textbook Bright an English is not only rich in cultural diversity but also aligns with the characteristics and objectives of the Merdeka Curriculum
