English is recognize as the first foreign language and the compulsory subjects

taught in secondary level (Komaria, 1998: 29 in Lauder, 2008). At present, English


is only taught in senior high school once a week (Curriculum 2013). With the
minimum of exposure of learning English, the students cannot maximize their English
mastery. In the curriculum 2013, all textbooks, guideline are come from the
ministry of education rather than from school and publishing companies (OECD, 2015,
p.269). The Curriculum 2013 is more centralized and might neglect the local
curriculum that school have. Also from sudden change of curriculum, OECD (2015,
p.270) found confusion about the role of the local curriculum, with some
principals believing that they should stop teaching English or local languages, for
example, because there was no longer any local flexibility and these areas were not
defined as separate subjects.

The 2013 English Curriculum seems to be the reactions or correction of the previous
curriculum and the reality that has happened (Wachidah, 2013). However, in actual
fact that high school learner in Indonesia hardly use English for communication and
daily activities.

focus on everyone in the class and it might cause slow development of English
communication in this country.

Several researches showed that. Environment in Indonesia provides less support or


exposure for the learners to communicate, because English
is not spoken in the community. Because of less explanation about target language
and less interaction with the native speakers, adult EFL learners in general are
relatively far from being proficient English users. .
Indonesians students are using English only in the classrooms even with minimum
opportunity..Several ways have been done to improve students' English proficiency,
the results not be too significant, because the courage in speak English are still
low. They feel afraid if they are making mistakes or in the pronunciation used of
the word. The students� just courage to use English language when they are in the
classroom, most of them choose to silent compare using English language to
communication.
Indonesian environment does not support the students to speak English frequently
outside the class.
In the environment itself most of the students when speaking their english in to
show off the ingenuity of english. students also feel tough in speaking English
speaking because they do not have the other person in terms of communication. In
the classroom there is also an atmosphere that makes them unable to speak English.
when in teaching teachers who manage the class can not handle the students. when
the teacher explains about the material in the classroom students may be more
easily understand and there are less understand with the material taught by the
teacher. why, because in the classroom atmosphere with a greater number of students
this makes the teacher difficult in manage the classroom. students who may sit at
the front can easily understand the lesson then the students who sit at the back
still do not understand or they ask to repeat the material taught by the teacher
(Hosni, 2014).
