other nations’ culture. Besides, it is also expected that English learning at elementary school could help the students to be able to deliver their idea and
feeling, to participate in the society and even to find out and use their imaginative skill within themselves.

some teachers don’t know yet about School Based Curriculum especially in providing Documents Syllabus and Lesson Plan. Therefore, the study focuses on
identifying teachers’ problems in providing teaching documents in the implemtation of KTSP.

METHOD OF INVESTIGATION
This chapter deals with method adopted to obtain the objectives of the study. In connection with the discussion of the study, the writer divides this chapter into six parts;
they are: 1 research design, 2 subject of the study, 3 data source, 4 roles of the researcher, 5 procedure of colecting data, and 6 procedure of analyzing data.
3.1 Research Design
This research used descriptive qualitative method since the main objective was to describe the English teachers’ problems in the implementation of the School Based
Curriculum. John W.Best 1981: 25 defines descriptive research as describes what it is. It involves the description, recording, analysis, and interpretation of conditions that exist. It
involves some types of comparison or contrast and attempts to discover relationships between existing non manipulated variables.
According Bodgan and Taylor 1992: 5 “qualitative method is research procedure that produces descriptive data in the form of written or spoken record from
individual as well as observed behavior”. Moreover, Miles and Huberman 1984 define “qualitative research is analysis which involved the data such as words e.g. from
document and pictures e.g. from video”.
Research design used in this study was by giving questionnaire about the School based Curriculum and carrying out interview the English teachers as well as recording it
to accumulate data needed.
