This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Deep Learning method in improving students’ understanding and writing skills in English at SMK Negeri Tengaran. A qualitative-descriptive approach was employed, using data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation conducted during the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program. The findings reveal that the application of the Deep Learning method creates a more active, interactive, and contextual learning environment. Students do not merely memorize language structures but also comprehend the meaning and context of writing through engagement in activities related to real-life experiences. This approach enhances students’ confidence, motivation, and critical as well as reflective thinking skills. However, challenges remain in areas such as limited vocabulary, grammatical difficulties, and sentence structuring. To address these issues, teachers implemented creative strategies such as puzzle writing and free writing, accompanied by constructive feedback. The results confirm that the Deep Learning method holds great potential for enhancing English writing instruction by fostering literacy, critical thinking, and 21st-century competencies.
