The Practical Application of Competency
Based Training for English Language Training in
Christina R Brown
What exactly is Competency Based
Training? How does it transfer to the field of English Language teaching? How
can it be successfully implemented into the Indonesian educational system?
These are some of the questions, which will be addressed in this paper. Competency
Based Training in English language teaching is currently being used in the
Australian TAFE (Technical and Further Education) system. The way in which this
impacts on day-to-day teaching will be analysed in
detail to enable participants to further their knowledge of the implications of
Competency Based training in the field of English language study. Competency
Standards have recently been written for the Hotel and Restaurant sector in
Indonesian schools. Through a recent evaluative study the success of this
endeavor will be explored. The positive and negative implications of using
Competency Based training in tertiary level learning will be outlined and will
provide a basis for ongoing discussion.
