ABSTRACT

Kartika, Nadia R.N. S891402038. (2016). A Content Analysis on ESP Syllabus of

Accounting Program. Thesis. Consultant 1: Dr. Suparno, M. Pd.; Consultant

2: Dr. Hersulastuti, M.Hum. English Education, Graduate Program, University

of Sebelas Maret Surakarta.

Economic expansion across nations leads some global agreements and

commitments such as ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA), World Trade Organization

(WTO), and General Agreement on Trade in Service (GATS) by Indonesian

governance. As a result, there is a new paradigm about qualification parameter based

on quality equality principle and concepts of IQF from many work fields and

professions in global era. Those issues then influence the design of curriculum in

educational institution in Indonesia, especially in higher education institution. The

new regulation is called Indonesian Qualification Framework (Kerangka Kualifikasi

Nasional Indonesia). IQF is a reference of grading competence that integrates

between education and work training and experience. IQF is basically designed to

equalize national and international qualification so that Indonesian human resources

are able to encounter world-wide economic competition. The study aims to analyze

the content of an instructional syllabus in relation with the qualification of IQF.

The study was carried out at Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Ekonomi (STIE) Putra

Bangsa which is located on Jl.Ronggowarsito no.88, Kebumen. This study used the

framework of qualitative research. The primary data in this study is the content of

ESP syllabus of Accounting department. Other data are the result of interview, the

statements made by the lecturer, the head of institution, and the students of 3rd

semester.

The finding of the study shows that the syllabus has conformed IQF regulation

in terms of elements of syllabus and some general competences of Diploma 3

program. Nonetheless, the syllabus has some drawbacks in relation to the

qualifications of IQF. First, the activities found in the syllabus dominantly reflect

TCL than SCL. Second, the time allocation in a week is insufficient. Third, the

compositions of program and course learning outcomes are insufficient. It is hoped

that the result of the study provide an insight in designing a syllabus.
