This study investigated the strategies used by English teachers to promote Higher-
Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) during the learning process, what factor that
influence the teachers used the strategies, the challenges when using those
strategies and how to overcome those challenges. The Indonesian government,
specifically the Ministry of Education and Culture, has taken the lead in
implementing the Merdeka Curriculum, a program designed to prepare students
for the 5.0 era of society. The objective of this curriculum is to develop students
who have the Profil Pelajar Pancasila, equipping them with the ability to use
their knowledge and abilities effectively in practical circumstances. To achieve
this, teachers must employ specific methodologies that enhance students' critical
thinking abilities. The study focused on thirteen English senior high school
teachers in Pekalongan Regency, with two selected for interviews and
observations. Data were collected through a questionnaire, interviews, and direct
observation. The data analysis involved quantifying the questionnaire responses,
evaluating the open-ended questionnaire responses, and reviewing the transcripts
from the interviews and classroom observation notes. Thematic analysis was used
to interpret the data from interviews and classroom observation, while coding was
employed to extract the transcripts and observation notes. The study revealed that
the key tactics used by English teachers were project-based learning and open-
ended questioning. The teachers applied those strategies because of certain factor
such as the books and module that introduced by government. However, some
teachers faced challenges in implementing these tactics in English classes, such as
students' skill levels, teachers' expertise, and unfavourable perceptions.
Keywords: Teachers‘ strategies and Challenge, Higher Order Thinking Skills
(HOTS), English Language classroom.
