Middle Test of Innovations in ELT

Written By Resha Salavia

1. As we know, the implementation curriculum in Indonesia has undergone several changes.

Indonesia itself has experienced many curriculum changes and in this era. Nowadays, we
arrived into Independent Curriculum which the curriculum formed by the free learning
policy will be flexible in character, competency-based, focused on developing character
and soft skills, and meeting the needs of the world. With the globalization era, the teacher
also have to improve the ELT by using technologies such as computer, mobile phone, tab
and so on. Most of the students in the world especially Indonesia has fluent about
technology so it can be used to improve students skill and also can innovating the ELT
teacher for students to achieve the world needs.
2. Based on my experiences, the ELT curriculum in some urban schools has been
innovative. The ELT teacher of the urban school make the relation between the material
and the learning tools by using technology such as youtube video. The teacher also lead
the students to use e-dictionary to search unknown vocabulary. In the other hand, in rural
schools are very difficult to implement the innovation of ELT curriculum. The limited
access of technology is one of the factor why ELT can’t be innovative well. The ELT
teachers of rural schools’ still used the traditional one to teach their students. The support
of the government is very needed in this way to facilitate the schools so that ELT teachers
can be easier to implementing the ELT innovations.
