Teaching Writing in Indonesian Language Classes with a Genre-Based Approach (GBA): Between Hope and Reality (An Analysis of Lesson Plans in the Curriculum 2013 Classroom)

Abstract

This article discusses a number of concepts related to the teaching of writing in the classroom by using the curriculum of 2013. The aim was to map the teaching of writing in Indonesian language subjects based on language teaching theory comparing to reality in the classroom. There is a problem that the process of writing in Curriculum 2013 emphasized the product rather than the writing process itself. The logical consequence of this problem is that writing activities in Curriculum 2013 did not focus on the content but more attention was given to the type and form of the text instead.
