PREFACE

The 2013 curriculum recognizes the important role of English in conveying ideas

beyond the boundaries of the Indonesian state and for absorbing ideas from

outside that can be used for the benefit of the nation and state as a result of

the flat world. The 2013 curriculum is designed to welcome the 21st-century

learning model. In it, there is a shift in learning from students being told to

being students finding out from various learning sources beyond the

boundaries of teachers and academic units. The role of English in such a

learning model is very central considering that there are more learning

resources in English than all learning resources in all other languages

combined.

In line with the above roles, English lessons for Class 2 in elementary school

presented in this book are structured to improve language skills. The

presentation uses a text-based learning approach, both spoken and written, by

placing English as a means of communication. Understanding the types, rules,

and context of a text is emphasized so that it makes it easier for students to

grasp the meaning contained in a text and present ideas in appropriate text

form so that others can easily understand them.
