Abstract

One of the required tasks of being an English lecturer in Indonesia is to perform assessment and evaluation after teaching in a one-semester course. The learning of English essay writing seems to be important for all majors. After collecting actual data from Indonesian EFL students taking an English essay writing course in the even semester of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017, it was found that the students had a certain pattern of interest to which genre they might prefer to write in their final examination. A convenient sampling technique was applied in this research. In terms of data, 71 students enrolled in the course in 2015/2016 (Group 1) and 75 students enrolled in the 2016/2017 (Group 2) academic year. The highest preferred genre for Group 1 was comparison-contrast with 28% and Descriptive for Group 2 with 33%. Meanwhile, the lowest preferred genre for Group 1 was Argumentative with 11% and Narrative for Group 2 with 9%. By looking at these percentages, a few pedagogical reflective evaluations can be made. Hopefully, one question that may be raised for all English teachers and lecturers in Indonesia: “Have we considered EFL students’ interests before evaluating their overall performance on our essay writing course?"

To propose the idea of designing national English curriculum for elementary school in Indonesia, a literature review as a research methodology in this study was conducted to reveal the urgency of teaching English to young learners, based on a number of previous studies on this issue, as the preparation for the future generation facing the era of globalization. The fact that English is the language of world trade and technology has benefit the countries in which English is taught since Elementary level with their national standardized curriculum, such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei to grow rapidly. Contrast to their conditions, In Indonesia, although there are many positive responses from the society about introducing English since elementary school, based on National Curriculum 2013, the government has just allowed schools to teach English since junior high school. As a result, there are great numbers of elementary schools start teaching English to their students without necessarily developing proper curriculum or even having qualified teachers.

It is expected that proper and nationally standardized English curriculum will help teachers and schools to teach English according to the student needs and capacity and build strong foundation for learning English on the next stage.

The use of inclusion strategies mostly appear in negative news relating to Islam, and this causes Islam as a social actor often poorly represented in the media.
