Moreover, the researchers used descriptive research design to achieve its goal. The research samples were English teachers who were from several different juniors and senior high schools. Then the researchers used a questionnaire and interview to gather the corpus. After analyzing the data, it found that they do not get significant obstacles in preparing the Lesson Plans. However, some points as evaluation are obstacles in adjusting the character values based on the basic material competencies, and incompatibility between the materials in the syllabus and the 2013 Curriculum textbooks. Also, they find the difficulties in learning implementation such as how to bring applicative skills in the learning process, how to foster the students' creativity with the limited facilities, and how to apply the scientific approach stages especially for "Asking" and "Reasoning." Then they get quite tricky in implementing assessment of the 2013 curriculum, like many assessment instruments must be completed, and some teachers are proficient using the 2013 Curriculum assessment application.
