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.

Teaching methodology Participant A said that in this curriculum, teachers should be more creative
to convey the lesson because this curriculum demanded the taechers to develop the learning materials based on students’ need and the school’s condition. As
participant A said before that learning materials were various, the participant solved this problem by using the learning materials from many sources.
Participant C also made a module from many sources to attract students’ attention to English lesson Appendix 3.
b.
Assessment Participant D stated that he was difficult to obtain students’ score grade
from four language skills because the time allocation for English language was limited. To solve this problem, the participant combined two skills in every
meeting then assessed the students in the learning process. It was similar to what the participant B and C said, participant E stated that students were difficult to
follow the learning process. For this problem, the participants used power point as teaching media and ran games in the middle of the lesson.
These problems was not only problems in implementing 2006 Curriculum but also problems in learning process. Students’ characteristics also influenced the
learning process. Some students were difficult to follow the learning process. Three participants, namely participant B, C, and E stated that some students in
their class tended to be lazy and passive to follow the learning process. As the solution, they taught students using games or made some group discussions.
