• Two Strands in the core of Curriculum of SLTE

The core of curriculum in SLTE programs generated a debate on the two strands
• knowledge about and knowledge how (Burns & Richards, 2009)
• practical teaching skills and academic knowledge (Johnson in Burns & Richards, 2009)
• content and delivery (Singh & Richards, 2009).

Learning English!!• What happens in the expanding
circle countries?– Less exposure– Less human resources (teachers)

Out-class English exposure for learners in Expanding circle countries
• The learners have no enough room for using English after they go out from the English class;
• only certain individuals have access for watching TV Channels with authentic English programs, or reading authentic English magazines or newspapers;
• Even in a very remote area, learners cannot have an easy access to get English books for learning
• The quality of the teacher is often a common problem
• The local government policy is not supporting

Six domains of content as the Core Knowledge Base of SLTE (Richard, 2000)
1. theories of teaching, 2. teaching skills, 3. communication skills, 4. subject matter knowledge, 5. pedagogical reasoning and decision making, 6. context knowledge.
![Page 11: English Curriculum in Expanding Circles_Telfin 2013 slides](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/5461ddd2af7959d61d8b46c0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
English learning contexts in Indonesia:
• Different cluster of regions in Indonesia regarding with the circumstances of TEFL
![Page 12: English Curriculum in Expanding Circles_Telfin 2013 slides](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/5461ddd2af7959d61d8b46c0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cluster 1: less developed regions where resources is still poor, infrastructure is inadequate, etc.
Cluster 2: resources are a bit better, but gives less infrastructure for learners so that they feel difficulties to get good learning environment access
Cluster 3: both resources and infrastructure are better
![Page 13: English Curriculum in Expanding Circles_Telfin 2013 slides](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/5461ddd2af7959d61d8b46c0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Recommendation • Scheme 1:
– Soft skills: communications knowledge, context knowledge (periphery)
– Hard Skills: subject matter knowledge (core) – theories of teaching, teaching skills, pedagogical reasoning and decision
(periphery)
• Scheme 2– Soft skills: communications knowledge, context knowledge
(periphery)– Hard Skills: subject matter knowledge (periphery) – theories of teaching, teaching skills, pedagogical reasoning and decision

Reasons:• Scheme 1: teachers are supposed to
create teaching materials since it is very difficult for them to adopt materials
• Scheme 2 and 3: no problems with materials since the learning environment is supporting.
