try to memorize and understand the input. The learning process takes place when the learners completing the tasks. When the learners try to complete the tasks,

2.1.5 Domby Kids’ Hope Curriculum
According to the Domby Kid’s Hope 2 coordinator, Domby Kid’s Hope 2 does not have curriculum to align the English teaching-learning activity in Domby
Kid’s Hope . They added that the goal of the English teaching-learning activities
generally is to make the learners like English and brave to speak in English. The English tutors at Domby Kid’s Hope 2 have freedom in choosing appropriate and
innovative approach or method to teach based on the goal. The coordinator also added something to be noted that Domby Kids Hope
2 aims to develop the children holistically. Holistic learning is different from
memorization. According to Young 2006, “holistic learning is the process of weaving the knowledge you are learning into everything you already understand”.
As has been mentioned in http:en.wikipedia.orgwikiholistic_education.com Robin Ann Martin 2003 describes further by stating, “At its most general level,

what distinguishes holistic education from other forms of education are its goals, its attention to experiential learning, and the significance that it places on
relationships and primary human values within the learning environment.” Thus, the character building is one of the focuses of Domby Kids Hope 2. In considering
curriculum using a holistic approach, the tutors should pay attention to several things. According to http:en.wikipedia.orgwikiholistic_education.com, since
holistic education seeks to educate the whole person, there are some key factors that are essential to this type of education:
1. Children need to learn about themselves. This involves learning self respect and self esteem.
2. Children need to learn about relationships. In learning about their relationships with others, there is a focus on social “literacy” learning to see
social influence and emotional “literacy” one’s own self in relation to others.
3. Children need to learn about resilience. This entails overcoming difficulties, facing challenges and learning how to ensure long-term success.
4. Children need to learn about aesthetics. This encourages the student to see the beauty of what is around them and learn to have awe in life.
The goal and holistic learning becomes the guidelines of the English teaching-learning activities. Therefore, the English tutors should have effective
teaching-learning method that is suitable to the children and become creative to create teaching-learning activities not only to achieve the goal but also could
develop the children’s characters.
