INTRODUCTION
C. Formulation of the Goals of the Establishment of the ELT Program
a. How can a program be developed to improve students' public speaking and news
writing skills
To develop a program, we need to analyze the situation first. For instance, our
target is SMA students who are required to understand expressions in speaking. Then,
the program should be strongly associated with the basic goal, that is, knowledge
about language, culture, and society. Committee should consider the needs or
problems the members and the community are facing. It is important to establish or
confirm the basic purpose so everyone inside and outside organization can understand
it. Agreement on the basic goals to be reached amongst the members. Thus, specific
objectives is needed to accomplish this. Those specific objectives are as follows:
- For MC-ing, the goals is, in the end of the course, students will havedeveloped the
ability to make a good MC-ing text for different events(competition, festival, or
innauguration).
- For speech (persuasive), the goal is that by the end of the course, students will
have developed the ability to make a good persuasive speech draft under the topic
of bullying, social media, and environment
- For writing (news), the goals are for students to be able to understand the elements
of and what constitutes “good news item writing”, able to understand the elements
of and what constitutes “good news item writing”, able to create and edit news
and item become more aware of their news item writing and be able to identify the
specific areas in which improvement is needed.
The significance of the establishment of the ELT Program is for helping people to
improve their skills in English they want to improve. In the upcoming course, we just provide
speaking and writing skills especially in public speaking, MC-ing and writing news article for
those who are needed. In this course, we focus on senior high school students.
In formulating the goals and objetives for the upcoming course, we have gone through
several steps. The first step was to formulate the umbrella goals of the course. Umbrella goals
are what the students will generally be able to do after joining the course. After that, we listed
all the possible goals for the course by looking at the conceptualization of content. After
having the list of the goals, we organized them into a coherent goals by applying the
conceptual framework. Different conceptual frameworks could help us to organize the goals.
In formulating the goals for the course, we have worked with one of the conceptual
framework called KASA, which is an acronym for Knowledge, Awareness, Skills, and
Attitude.
According to Graves (2000:83) Knowledge goals address what students will know
and understand. These goals include knowledge about language and about culture and society.
Awareness goals address what students need to be aware of when learning a language. Skills
goals address what students can do with the language. Attitude goals are those that address
the affective and value-based dimension of learning: students’ feeling toward themselves,
toward others, and toward the target language and culture. These goals include respect, self-
confidence, and valuing community.
KASA framework is applied in formulating the goals of the three skills provided in
the course which are MC-ing, persuassive speech, and news item writing. Each of the skill
has their own KASA goals. For the news item writing, the Knowledge goal is that by the end
of the course, students will be able to understand the elements of and what constitutes good
news item writing. The Awareness goal is that by the end of the course, students will have
become more aware of their news item writing and be able to identify the specific areas in
which improvement is needed. The Skills goals are students will have developed the ability to
create good news item, and students will develop skills in editing the news item writing. The
Attitude goal is that by the end of the course, students will have developed a possitive attitude
toward news article writing. Furthermore, the objectives for each KASA goals are formulated
by also looking at the content conceptualization that was made by the previous group.
Objectives are statements about how the goals will be achieved. Objectives should be more
specific than goals. For each KASA goal, we formulate three until nine objectives for each
goal.
