TAHAP KEPRIHATINAN GURU BAHASA INGGERIS DALAM PELAKSANAAN KURIKULUM BAHASA INGGERIS CEFR (THE COMMON EUROPEAN FRAMEWORK OF REFERENCE FOR LANGUAGES)

Abstract

The Common European of Framework Reference (CEFR) is a standardized measurement recognized by western countries to evaluate English proficiency. Unsatisfactory English level among student should be elevated. Hence, CEFR is being implemented simultaneously throughout Malaysia since 2017 for Year one and Year two students. Each English teacher must be prepared to accept any change in order to manage the changes efficiently and effectively as they are the "implementing group" to commence the change. This study was conducted to examine the level of English language teachers' attitudes towards the implementation of CEFR in Bangsar Pudu, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur by using survey research. This study adopted the Concern Based Adoptance Model (CBAM) as a theoretical framework. The data were collected from 205 English teachers from 101 schools using questionnaires on Stages of Concern Questionnaire (SoCQ) based on the CBAM model. Through ANOVA One-way analysis, there was a significant difference between teacher concerns in the teaching experience more than 30 years in CEFR compared to other teachers. However, there is no significant difference in the academic level of English teachers. The findings of this study are believed to help the Ministry of Education to identify and improve the implementation of CEFR curriculum.
