INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Curriculum design is concerned with the creation of language

courses and course materials, but it is also concerned with the selection of
texts and other materials for courses, and with adapting and adding to
existing courses. In this paper we look at the relationship between the
teacher and existing course books.

1.2 About This Paper

The objective this paper are:

1. To be able to choose and adapt a course book in a systematic way.

2. To be able to justify your decisions on choosing and adapting a
course book.
3. To help teachers clarify the roles that they, the course book and the
learners play in the curriculum design process.
4. To provide teachers with a rational approach to follow when deciding
to adopt or adapt a course book.

CLOSING

3.1 Conclusion
As ‘the tree of ELT’ shows, what they have in common is that they are all primarily
concerned with communication and learning. ESP should properly be seen not as any
particular language product but as an approach to language teaching which is directed
by specific and apparent reasons for learning.

 HANDOUTS
ESP : Approach Not Product
-The successive stages have all concentrated on the linguistic aspect of ESP: they are
all essentially language-centred approaches.
-What is ESP ?
ESP is an approach to language learning, which is based on various kinds of learner
need.

 ESP is not a mater of teaching ‘specialised varieties’ of English.

 ESP is not just a matter of Science words and grammar for Scientists, Hotel words and
grammar for Hotel staff and so on.
 ESP is not different in kind from any other of language teaching, in that it should be
based in the first instance on principles of effective and efficient learning.
So what is ESP ? To answer this, ESP must be seen as an approach not as a product.
ESP, then, is an approach to language teaching in which all decision as to content
and method are based on the learner’s reason for learning.
Conclusion
As ‘the tree of ELT’ shows, what they have in common is that they are all
primarily concerned with communication and learning. ESP should properly be seen not
as any particular language product but as an approach to language teaching which is
directed by specific and apparent reasons for learning.
 QUESTION AND ANSWER

Question:
1. Alda Lovita
Is adopt and adapt can we use in the same time or not?
2. Nanda Nurul Imaniah
Why do course book does not meet the divers needs of the learners?
3. Tri Lestari
Is there any terms to assess weight and score?
4. Imam Dwi Perdana
What are the factor that induce teacher to not choose a particular
book?

Answer:
1. We can’t use adopt and adapt at the same time because adopt and
adapt is different. Adopt means we take a whole course book not just
a part of course book. Adapt means we take a course book and when
we find a material that not suitable or not necessary, we can remove,
add or change those material.
2. Because course book use standart needs of learners, if learners have
a different background in the class, we need a source book instead of
course book.
3. Table 11.3 is an example evaluation form for a beginners’ course
book. Weight in the table means how big our assessment in the
features evaluation form for a beginners’. Score in the table means a
score that we give to a course book based on the features. Features
with higher grade in weight and score means the features is more
important and must be prioritized.
4. If the book not match to the features in table 11.1, we don’t need to
take the book.
