2. The Weaknesses on 2006 Curriculum Implementation
In implementing the 2006 curriculum, there were found some weaknesses which were classified as follows:
a. Teaching methodology
The 2006 curriculum was difficult to be applied to the students who had low enthusiasm in learning. According to participant B, this curriculum was
inappropriate for students had lack of enthusiasm to learn. They tended to be passive participants in the class whereas the 2006 curriculum invites students to be
active in the class. Therefore, teachers’ role as motivators to motivate students were needed Appendix 3.
The weakness from participant A was students’ final result was not concentrated to the students’ result on four language skills. It happened since the
participant should assess four language skills Appendix 1. Participant D also stated that students’ result was not concentrate on students’ final result because
this curriculum focused on assessing learning process than learning outcome Puskur, 2002. For participant C, 2006 curriculum was useless for students who
had lack motivation in learning. Although teachers had taught appropriately based on students’ needs, if there was no motivation from students, the learning process
was not going well. As stated by Nunan 1996 that curriculum was collaboration between teachers and learners, hence teachers and students were mutual and they
need each other. Then, if there was no good relationship between students and teachers, learning process was not going well and the learning objectives could
not be achieved.

26 Participant E stated that the 2006 curriculum was difficult to be applied to
the students who had low enthusiasm in learning English. In this case, teachers should be creative to invite students in learning English happily. Teachers could
motivate students by running a game in the learning process Appendix 5. The game itself should be related to the topic they were going to teach so it was not
only a game for fun in the class but also for education. b.
Students’ motivation Participant B and D said that students were poor in grammar mastery
because they were not only taught grammar but also taught four English language skills. Therefore, students were good in vocabulary mastery and reading
comprehension. This curriculum emphasized on four English language skills in which they have to teach every skill in English language, they are writing,
reading, speaking, and listening. Therefore, the teachers did not only focus on teaching grammar but also the four English language skills. This curriculum also
invited students to be active so that students were more challenged to be brave and better in learning.
