Exploring the Implementation of Cambridge Curriculum in Early Elementary English Education: A Case Study

“…This finding aligns with Kusumawati's (2019) research, which also utilized the "Super Minds" E-book as a teaching material. However, this is distinct from Holandyah's (2022) study, which identified the use of Cambridge Lower Secondary English materials supplemented by Internet sources. While both are Cambridge curriculum products, the Lower Secondary version is tailored for students aged 11-14 years.…”
