Introduction

• Focal Point: in developing a curriculum/a syllabus, we need to consider the societal factors; societal is the adjective of ‘society’; societal factors are factors which come from the society.

• Besides societal factors, there’s another factor called ‘stakeholders’ (learners, teachers, schools, parents, finance, ministry of education, etc.).

• Materials development – Socio-cultural appropriateness, link between syllabus and audience.

The Curriculum Development Process

The language curriculum includes specifications for providing inputs to syllabus design and for measuring outcomes of syllabus-based instruction

Robert Keith Johnson (1989:28)

policy1. Who are the

program necessary?

4. Where will the program be

implemented?5. How will it be implemented?

Patterns of Language Use in Society

Group and Individual Attitudes Towards Language

Group AttitudesAttitudes towards the language, people who speak it, and the culture it represents.

Individual AttitudesAttitude towards the learning process itself, individual needs, teachers’ efficacy, materials, and school system.

The Attitudes Towards the Language

The positive attitudes will reflect a high regard and appreciation to language and culture, high personal motivation, feeling of self fulfillment, success, and enthusiasm.

The negative attitudes are often related to historical factors, political and national trends, social conflicts. They create psychological distance affecting learning-teaching process.

The Political and National Context

POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS The administration in power and its views of the language

NATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS Promoting nationhood, patriotism, development of national language

QUESTIONS TO ASK a. local languages for early education, b. the preferred national language for intermediate education, c. an international language for government and higher education

Practical applications

Interview some students inside the class by asking these questions.

1. What are Indonesian learners’ language needs?

2. What are their attitudes towards English and the learning of English?

3. Can learning English or other foreign languages lessen the significance of Indonesian?

4. Are English courses offered in Indonesia sufficient for Indonesian students?

ConclusionTo make a good design for a new language program,

as a planner (teacher), we should know all the information

about the program and gather it all in one. The process of it is

called Fact-finding Stage: Assessing Societal Factors which consist of four major sections:

a) The language settingb) Patterns of language usec) Attitudes towards languaged) Political and national context
