Shortcuts in Overcoming Complaints, Unsatisfactory
Results on the Implementation of 1994 Curriculum
Shirley Danusaputra
Despite
the fact on the assumption of devastating results on the Teaching of English as
a Foreign Language there is a liberty of being encouraged to crack the bondages
faced nowadays. As for EFL teachers people focus on the 1994 curriculum and
would always like to lay the blame on it and yet as in reality we can find so
many tired inactive teachers who are unwilling to treat from their positions and
allow their younger generation to replace them with its more effective method
of teaching. A more updated ways of teaching and learning interaction must be
applied rather than the old fashioned grammar translation method. Why not focus
on a more natural way of teaching and learning EFL; through the Communicative
Approach? It has been long talked about, discussed, analysed
and so many things done but the question is “Are we already in one voice to be
really becoming friends with our students to be more willing to work together
with them and develop a more innovative ways of TEFL?” And we are in line with
the newly proposed Competence Based Curriculum (CBC).
