Final Project Of ESP

INTRODUCTION

1.1  Background

ESP (English Specific Purpose) is centered on the language appropriate to the activities of a given discipline. ESP according to Hutchinson and Waters (1987:19), ESP is an approach to language teaching in which all decisions as to content and method are based on the learners reason for learning. In this connection, Dudley Evans (1998) explains that ESP may not always focus on the language for one specific discipline or occupation, such as English for Computer science.

One of the fundamental questions for language teaching is what language is to be taught. In order to specify what language will be taught, items are typically listed and referred to as the syllabus. Graves (1996) discusses the language curriculum and syllabus. She describes the curriculum as a broad statement of the philosophy, purposes, design, and implementation of the entire language teaching program and the syllabus as a specification and ordering of content of a course.

CONTENT

2.1 Definition of syllabus

        A syllabus is an outline and summary of topics to be covered in an education or training course. It is descriptive (unlike the prescriptive or specific curriculum). A syllabus may be set out by an exam board or prepared by the professor who supervises or controls course quality. It may be roved in paper form or online.

        The syllabus is a contract between faculty members and their students, designed to answer students question about a course, as well as inform them about what will happen should  they fail to meet course expectations.

2.2 The Purpose of Syllabus  

           Syllabus seemed to vary in two fundamental areas-the apparent reason for writing the syllabus and the material that it contains. The purpose of the syllabus should drive the decision as to what content to include (Parkas & Harris, 2002). Three major purposes that a syllabus should serve are described by Parkas and Harris:

1.      Syllabus as a contract

Makes clear what the rules are sets forth what is expected to happen during the semester. Delineates the responsibilities of students and of instruct. Describe appropriate procedures and course policies. Content required for a syllabus to serve as a contract.

2.      Syllabus as a permanent record

Serves accountability and documentation functions. Contains information useful for evaluation of instruct, courses, and programs. Document what was covered in a course, at what level, and for what kind of credit.

3.      Syllabus as a learning tool

Helps students become more effective learners in the course. Inform students of the instructor beliefs about teaching, learning, and the content area. Focuses on students and what they need to be effective learners.

           Based on my analyisis, the syllabus learning materials are in accordance with competency courses. So we can be seen from the table above, that it is clearly visible that the syllabus with major have basic competence in accordance with nursing. This suggests that the structure based on the syllabus meets the needs of learners and the final competence to be achieved.

          

           The courses in syllabus very useful to develop English language learners in the field of nursing. It can be concluded that all the materials in syllabus the course Bahasa inggris II by Depni Situmorang, M.Pd accordance with major in STIKES. So, Nursing can be learning english language appropriate with needed major

CONCLUSION

         A syllabus is an outline and summary of topics to be covered in an education or training course. It is descriptive (unlike the prescriptive or specific curriculum). A syllabus may be set out by an exam board or prepared by the professor who supervises or controls course quality. It may be roved in paper form or online.

         In the process of learning the syllabus very important because syllabus is also useful as a guide for planning the management of learning activities classical, small groups, or individual learning. The selected learning activities will also refer to the source/media, material that has been set on the syllabus.
