School-based Curriculum is an operational curriculum which is formed and practiced by each school in Indonesia. Consequently, the curriculum used in a
school may be different from the one to the other schools. The different form and practice depend on the needs of the school; still, the government has given the
standard curriculum as a model for the school Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan: 2006
. In relation to documents needed in the implementation of the SBC
curriculum, school practitioners and teachers are required to develop documents, such as syllabus and lesson plan. However in the field, there are still many
problems, for example: they have not got enough School Based Curriculum information and understanding in order to implement the School Based
Curriculum. Moreover, not all schools have done successfully in conducting and applying the School Curriculum. Related to this problem, I would like to do a
study entitled Teachers’ problems in teaching documents in the implementation of KTSP.

The reasons for choosing the topic are stated below: First, English curriculum is very important in English teaching. English
curriculum will help teachers to plan, prepare teaching materials and teach their classes. Curriculum also provides what procedure can be used to determine the
content of learners’ needed, what contextual factors need to be considered teaching their class.
Second, School Based Curriculum SBC is the curriculum in Indonesia. The government starts this curriculum in 2006 until now. It is important to the
English teachers to know and always follow the improvement of the SBC 2006. The success of curriculum realization depend on the teacher’s understanding of
the curriculum. Therefore, for the final project, I conducted a research on Elementary English
teachers’ problems in providing documents in the implementation of KTSP.
