ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: A model for teaching English using Curriculum 13 has been developed to overcome the weaknesses of the existing model. To make sure that the developed model is feasible, it had been tried out in three classes of three SMAs in Surakarta. To find out whether the developed model is more effective than the existing model, an experimental research was conducted. The research method used was Research and Development. The results of the first year research showed some weaknesses of the existing model, so the prototype was developed. In the second year, the prototype was tried out and revised. The result showed that the model was feasible for the teacher to teach, the students to study, and feasible for developing the students’ four language skills, spiritual and social attitude. The result of the third year research showed that the developed model is more effective than the existing model.
