Teaching Plan

1. Curriculum

SMA Negeri 2 Padang uses the K-13 curriculum. The focus of this curriculum is to give emphasis on the inclusion of English as one of the school subject in Indonesia. But somehow, on my observation teachers there are not literate enough to communicate English. As a teacher, how could you produce a quality students if your lecturer are not good in his/her specific area.
