Syllabus and Lesson Plans

- Yalden (1987:87) states that a syllabus can also be seen as a summary of the

content to which learners will be exposed.

- A lesson plan is a work plan which shows clearly the activities which will take

place during the lesson in a sequential manner. All lesson planning involves
defining the objectives, selecting and arranging the subject-matter and
determining the method and procedure (Binning and Bining, 2000).

Syllabus and Lesson Plans

The syllabus and lesson plan used in AKS Ibu Kartini is

designed

well structured. In the lesson plan, is completely

describe the

general and specific objectives of the

course.

The syllabus given for the second semester of

Culinary Art

program consists of 16 (sixteen

meetings). 100 minutes for each

meeting.

Example

Lesson Materials
All of the materials are written by the lecturer herself, as it is from her
handout.
The lesson materials are divided into some parts. They are: reading,
questions, notes, "fill in the blanks" sentences, synonym and antonym.
The materials which I got from the English lecturer is the one from the
third meeting. The topic is about Soup. The general objective is for the
students to be able to understand the reading, which is about Soup. The
specific objectives are for the students to be able to differentiate between
I, myself, himself, etc, make sentences of them, and differentiate between
high-higher-highest. The point for this third meeting is to teach about
degrees of comparison, reflexive pronouns and passive voice..

Example

Teaching Media

Harmer (2001:134) states that

Media or teaching aid is

used by language teachers to explain language meaning and

construction, engage students in topic, oras the basis of a
whole activity.

Teaching Media

Unfortunately there is no teaching media used in the lecture.

The lecturer uses teaching tools, which are the handout and
whiteboard.

She only explained some words in the reading about "Soup"

which may be difficult for students. Then continued by
explaining about reflexive pronouns (myself, themselves,
etc) and passive voice. It is continued by reading the
paragraphs about "Soup" and trying to answer questions
together. She also asks students to do pronunciation drills.
As in the last part of the lecture, the lecturer assigns them to
make some sentences along with their passive form.

Assessment System
Brindley in Carter and Nunan (2001: 137) explains that an activity of
collecting information on the students achievement in relation to a
particular course or curriculum is called as assessment of achievement.
For the assessment administration, it is explained by the English
lecturer that the scoring will be combined from scores of final and mid
exam, weekly assignments and in-class presence . Unfortunately when
I conducted the observation, the lecturer had not yet made questions
for the exam. However, she explained that the scoring system is
formulated to be as follows:

Final Score Composition
