PENDAHULUAN
Penyusunan kurikulum Bahasa Inggris pada Sekolah Bertaraf Internasional mengacu pada
Standar Isi dan Standar Kompetensi Lulusan yang diperkaya dengan kurikulum,
pembelajaran, dan penilaian dari salah satu negara anggota OECD dan/ atau negara maju
lainnya yang mempunyai keunggulan tertentu dalam bidang pendidikan dan dikembangkan
dengan cara mengadaptasi atau mengadopsi.
Pendekatan kurikulum “SBI” di bidang

pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris dilakukan secara

menyeluruh untuk mempersiapkan suatu struktur pengembangan kemampuan berpikir,
tingkah laku dan individu yang dapat berdiri sendiri serta menciptakan suatu pembelajaran
seumur hidup.

Bahasa Inggris merupakan alat untuk berkomunikasi secara lisan dan tulis. Berkomunikasi
adalah memahami dan mengungkapkan informasi, pikiran, perasaan, dan mengembangkan
ilmu pengetahuan, teknologi, dan budaya. Kemampuan berkomunikasi dalam pengertian

yang utuh adalah kemampuan berwacana, yakni kemampuan memahami dan/atau
menghasilkan teks lisan dan/atau tulis yang direalisasikan dalam empat keterampilan
berbahasa, yaitu mendengarkan, berbicara, membaca dan menulis. Keempat keterampilan
inilah yang digunakan untuk menanggapi atau menciptakan wacana dalam kehidupan
bermasyarakat. Oleh karena itu, mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris diarahkan untuk
mengembangkan keterampilan-keterampilan tersebut agar lulusan mampu berkomunikasi
dan berwacana dalam bahasa Inggris pada tingkat literasi tertentu.
Pada akhirnya akan menciptakan sosok manusia yang mampu berkomunikasi secara efektif,
memiliki percaya diri yang tinggi, kritis dalam berfikir dan mampu memecahkan masalah
serta berperan aktif baik secara mandiri maupun dalam kelompok.
Dalam pelaksanaannya, pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di SMP/MTs ditargetkan agar peserta
didik dapat mencapai tingkat functional yakni berkomunikasi secara lisan dan tulisan secara
