摘要

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the teachers’ difficulties in designing lesson plan based on theudcurriculum 2013 and the possible causes. A qualitative design in the form of semi-structured interviews wasudemployed to collect the data in a senior high school in Cipatat which was implementing 2013 Curriculum. OneudEnglish teacher was purposively selected as respondent. Findings indicated that the teacher did not have time toudconstruct her own lesson plan; therefore she modified lesson plans from the internet. She also revealed that it isuddifficult for her to construct assessment in lesson plan since there are too many aspects to be assessed. Lack ofudcontextual training is considered as one of the causes. Deeper knowledge on the implementation of theudcurriculum is recommended, as well as government-sponsored workshops and seminars.
