INTRODUCTION
In today's all-digital era, slang is easier to find, especially in everyday chats via platforms
such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, and others. in their teens, namely high school children, they
still lack interest in using English in their conversations. many say that they are afraid of being wrong
in using English so that they will be ridiculed by other friends. there are also those who say that they
still have difficulty in learning English. while what needs to be underlined is that English is the main
international language that high school students must master at least. A statement appears stating
whether the curriculum provided is correct or not, because there are still many difficulties experienced
by high school students, causing their interest to decrease. Curriculum is an important thing where the
curriculum is the main foundation in teaching English. Since KTSP, then changed to the K13
curriculum, and finally changed to a Merdeka curriculum. It is still a matter of speculation whether
the teaching methods that have been applied to high schools so far have been inappropriate, causing
high school students to be disinterested in learning English. Never mind learning and exploring it,
even using English in everyday conversation is still very rare. that is why this research was conducted

provide solutions for teachers and students themselves.
