ABSTRACT
Kartika, Nadia R.N. S891402038. (2016). A Content Analysis on ESP Syllabus of
Accounting Program. Thesis. Consultant 1: Dr. Suparno, M. Pd.; Consultant 2: Dr. Hersulastuti, M.Hum. English Education, Graduate Program, University of Sebelas Maret Surakarta.
Economic expansion across nations leads some global agreements and
commitments such as ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA), World Trade Organization
(WTO), and General Agreement on Trade in Service (GATS) by Indonesian governance. As a result, there is a new paradigm about qualification parameter based on quality equality principle and concepts of IQF from many work fields and professions in global era. Those issues then influence the design of curriculum in educational institution in Indonesia, especially in higher education institution. The new regulation is called Indonesian Qualification Framework (Kerangka Kualifikasi Nasional Indonesia). IQF is a reference of grading competence that integrates between education and work training and experience. IQF is basically designed to equalize national and international qualification so that Indonesian human resources are able to encounter world-wide economic competition. The study aims to analyze the content of an instructional syllabus in relation with the qualification of IQF.
The study was carried out at Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Ekonomi (STIE) Putra
The finding of the study shows that the syllabus has conformed IQF regulation in terms of elements of syllabus and some general competences of Diploma 3 program. Nonetheless, the syllabus has some drawbacks in relation to the qualifications of IQF. First, the activities found in the syllabus dominantly reflect TCL than SCL. Second, the time allocation in a week is insufficient. Third, the compositions of program and course learning outcomes are insufficient. It is hoped that the result of the study provide an insight in designing a syllabus.
