Managing change in Indonesian high schools

Brian Tomlinson

Currently working in Japan. He took up the post of the Head of the Languages Centre, South Devon College of Arts and Technology in January 1989. Before taking up the post, he was the English Language Teaching Adviser to the Ministry of Education and Culture in Indonesia. He has also worked as a teacher-trainer and curriculum developer in Nigeria, Zambia, and Vanuatu, and as Director of Studies at Bell College, Saffron Walden. He has written and co-authored numerous textbooks.

This article describes the classroom methodology used by high school teachers of English participating in the PKG (Permantapan Kerja Guru: Strengthening of the Work of Teachers) Project in Indonesia. It starts with brief accounts of the objectives and methods of implementation of the Project and describes classroom methodology before the PKG English Programme began. It then outlines the principles and procedures used by PKG teachers of English and reports early impressions of their effectiveness. It also looks at ways in which the changes were effected and touches upon some of the project's implications.
