his study aims to describe the implementation of the CAKE application in English reading learning and to determine students' responses to its use among seventh-grade students at SMPN 14 Tarakan. This study was motivated by the low English reading skills of students due to limited vocabulary, difficulty in understanding sentence structure, and low student interest in English reading texts. To overcome these problems, this study utilizes the CAKE application as a Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) based learning medium. This study uses a qualitative descriptive design supported by simple quantitative data. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the implementation of the CAKE application can be carried out well through systematic learning stages and the application of learning strategies such as scaffolding, collaborative learning, and continuous feedback. Students' responses to the use of the CAKE application show a positive trend, especially in increased interest in learning, vocabulary comprehension, and reading comprehension. However, this study also identified several obstacles, including time constraints, differences in students' technological abilities, and technical barriers such in limited devices and internet connectivity. Overall, the CAKE application has the potential to be a supporting medium for English reading learning for seventh-grade students.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how the Merdeka Curriculum was implemented to teach English for seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Tanjung Palas. Descriptive qualitative research methodology was employed, and document analysis, observation, and interviews were used to gather data. Twenty-four students from seventh-grade and the English teacher participated in this study. Despite time constraints and a lack of clear communication about learning objectives, which could impact student understanding, the results demonstrated that teachers were quite flexible in managing their time and making sure learning objectives were met. In order to demonstrate concern for their students’ behaviour and study habits, teachers constantly urged them to participate fully in class discussions and adhered to the rules.
