- Abstract
English for elementary school in Indonesia is regarded as local content curriculum area which mandates that it should include value and local knowledge associated with region in which English curriculum is delivered (Ministerial Decree No.060/U/1993). Considering this decree, this research aims to investigate 1. The learning devices used by the elementary English teachers regarding to this policy, 2. Teachers’ effort in implementing the government policy of English as local content curriculum area. This qualitative study employs case study design to observe and conduct toward elementary English teachers from different education unit background and apply thematic analysis to analyze the data. The findings show that 1. Elementary English teachers have not yet accommodated the local content in the learning devices such as in the syllabus, lesson plan, media and learning sources, 2. Teachers only pay a bit attention in implementing this policy. Based on this finding, it will be better if the government provides a kind of strong rule related to local content for elementary school.
