Approach in 2013 Curriculum. The second objective is to help the students from English Language Education Study Program who took Practice Teaching
Program to realize that there are some problems that may appear when they implement 2013 Curriculum, especially related to Scientific Approach. After

Therefore, ELESP students who joined Practice Teaching Program can avoid those problems.
E. Research Benefits
In this part, the researcher provides the benefits of the study. In general, this study can be beneficial for the future teachers and ELESP students to
consider whether or not Scientific Approach worth to be implemented. It can also be useful for the government to know the problems of ELESP students as
future teachers so that the curriculum can be more appropriate for the education in Indonesia. Furthermore, it is also beneficial for ELESP students who will take
Practice Teaching Program to know the problems that have been experienced by other students, so that they can avoid those problems. Then, it is useful for
teachers in Indonesia because this research can give information for them about the problems when implementing Scientific Approach, so that they can have
7 their own solution to avoid those problems. The last, the researcher expects that
