Abstract

This study is aiming at looking at the appropriate curriculum for Diploma Program in English by focusing on the targetted competence and the unique feature of the program. As a vocational school, English diploma program is facing problems in defining its own characteristics. The so far  called diploma program is actually the shorthened term of the undergraduate English program with the absence of literary and linguistics related courses, and focused merely on the English skill learning. Although some practical skills other than English have been embedded in the curriculum, such as the additional courses in tourism and public relations, still the program missed the answer for its basic question; what the targetted competence and the unique feature of the program are. This research is done in trying to find the answer by doing both library research trying to take a look the ideal features of English Diploma programs, and interview trying to see the nature and the specific goal targetted by the management in handling the programs as well as the difficulties to match the present condition with the ideal one. The study reveals that some of English diploma programs may face the same issue of not being clear in targetting the competence as the vocational program, although some have found what is being idealized.

Abstract

 This study is Research & Development which contains three phases (explorative, model design, and try-out).  The research aims to develop a teaching material which integrates Javanese local wisdom   for the students of secondary school in Semarang.   Phase 1 (the explorative study) consists of two parts: book review and needs analysis (questionnaire and interview). The results of the first phase show that the existing  three books do not include aspects of  local wisdom. While the needs analysis show that the respondents  agreed to integrate aspects of local wisdom with the  benefits as follows: (a) supporting the learning process, (b) making the students understand  the materials  more easily, (c) enhancing the understanding of local cultures and character education. In phase 2 and phase 3 (model design and try-out in three schools), the findings indicate that  integrating local wisdom, i.e. a traditional song ”menthog-menthog” can enliven the classroom atmosphere. In addition, based on the respondent perception, the integration of local wisdom  would enrich the knowledge of local cultures as well as help the students understand ELT texts.
