About this app
This Android application is a Student Book and English Teacher's Guidebook: English for Change for SMA / SMK Class XI Independent Curriculum. In Pdf format.This book is dedicated to you, English learners in Grade XI. We named the book, English for Change, for two reasons. First, the goal of your learning is improving your communicative competencies in English. Furthermore, we believe in the idea that "when there is learning, there is change and becoming" (Dewey 1920, 111). In learning a new language, you change: from less to more competent users of the language, for example. By engaging yourselves with the learning materials and activities in the book, you gradually attain the competencies, which allow you to experience a change in your life now and in the future.
Second, the idea of change experienced in the process and as a result of learning is in line with the philosophy of Merdeka Belajar and the goal of Merdeka Curriculum. The word merdeka here was generated from Ki Hajar Dewantara's philosophy of human emancipation through education. It underlines how education should enable learners to be emancipated individuals: capable of living independently, standing tall on their strength, and managing their life in an organized manner without being ordered by any other party. English language learning will contribute to your gradual change of becoming emancipated individuals.
The book is divided into ive units with different themes, including digital safety (Unit 1), environmental awareness (Unit 2 and 4), nutrition and wellness (Unit 3), and financial literacy (Unit 5). They will enrich your repertoire and equip you to become more emancipated individuals and active members of your society. Each unit has six lessons following the six language skills mandated by the curriculum: listening, speaking, reading, viewing, writing, and presenting. Each lesson has its learning objective(s); they work together to achieve the target competencies.
Overall, English learning in Grade XI is targeted at helping you achieve the B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment (CEFR).
With the goal of your English learning in mind, we designed your learning activities following a Genre-Based Approach (GBA). Specifically, the activities are framed within 5 stages, namely: Building Knowledge of the Field (BKoF), Modeling of Text (MoT), Joint Construction of Text (JCoT), Independent Construction of Text (ICoT), and Linking Related Texts (LRTs ). We wrote the stages' names in each lesson to promote your metalanguage and self-regulated learning. With the stages in mind, you know what to expect, perform accordingly, and plan for the next. Note that self-regulated learning is one of the dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile.
