Our English Curriculum needs its own Analysis

final exemination



Final examination held several months ago for Senor High School and also Vocational School. This week students of the school are doing their school examination including practice examinations. English as the one of the main lesson is examined both in national examination and practice examination. Those examinations for English seem very serious and will give a lot of significant English skill for the students. But, is it true that by the processes English skill of the learner will be capable to be implemented in university or in their job next?
    Honestly, we have to say that in fact, our English learning in the Senior or vocational school are not suitable with the students needs. Our English curriculum today is over believed with genre learning model. Every day, every moment, teaching and learning English in the school always discus about a genre of a text. The teacher reads the characteristic of a text. The students also should memories the characteristic. In every examination, the largest number of the test task is about genre. The better the student memories the characteristic of a genre, the better his or her score test.

     Our education should evaluate the curriculum of English learning. Not all of students will be a novelist or have reading hobby such the genre method teaches them. Some of the students will continue their education into university. Some other students will look for job. The English learning processes should observe about those facts. Our education should give drill for the students needs about English. Between students who will continue their study to university and will look for job need English differently.
   The differences are in using the language. Be sides for entering university test, the student who will continue his or her study needs English for learning the university study materials. He needs English to read literature correlate with his major study. For student who will look for job, they need English for full fill job requirements such interview. Furthermore, for them, English also uses to maximize their work.   Despite of that, both of the students need English to help their interaction in their social relation.
So, when this book tells a lot about need analysis, we as a teacher candidate have to master about mechanism in observing the needs of learner about English. We have to be able to change or develop the genre method into better method which is more appropriate with Indonesian Senior High schools’ or Vocational schools’ students needs.

Perkembangan Majelis Tafsir Al-Quran (MTA) cukup pesat. Hampir di setiap wilayah telah berdiri cabang MTA. Tak ayal kehadiran MTA juga menimbulkan gesekan dengan Organisasi Islam yang terlebih dahulu ada.

Meski Kudus – tempat diselenggarakannya pengajian – cukup jauh dari tempat Sarno berasal, seolah tak membuatnya letih atau kehilangan konsentrasi. Jarak Wonogiri – Kudus nan jauh terbayar sudah dengan ilmu yang ia peroleh.
