This study is aimed at analyzing curriculum intent and implementation in English for young learners (EYL) classroom, conducted in a private junior high school in Indonesia. The participant in this study is an English teacher who teaches all grades. Non-participant classroom observations, document analysis and interview were carried out as the instruments. The collected data were then analyzed inductively.

Therefore, this finding suggests that the government undertake the appraisal and the evaluation to English teaching practice secondary school level, followed up by supporting the teachers‘ forum with activities; such as, in-house training, lesson study, peer teaching.
