PRELIMINARY

A. Rationalization of the Importance of CJR

When we need a reference, namely a journal as a source of our reading besides books in
studying Bilingual Learning courses, we should first criticize the journal so that we know
which journal is more relevant to be used as a reading source.

B. Purpose of Writing the CJR

1. To fulfill assignments in the Bilingual Learning course
2. Improve students' abilities in summarizing, analyzing, and comparing and giving
criticism to journals.
3. Strengthen readers' understanding of the importance of Bilingual Learning in life.

C. Benefits of CJR
1. As a reference for how to perfect a jounal and find relevant reading sources.
2. Make me as a writer and student more honed in criticizing a journal.
3. To increase knowledge about Bilingual Learning.

SUMMARY OF THE CONTENT OF THE ARTICLE

1. Preliminary
The idea to put English as the medium of instruction is essentially based on the theory
which was introduced by Krashen (1985) well known as Input Hypothesis. In some extents,
as stated by Nolan (2001), the Input Hypothesis is similar to Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal
Development (ZPD) which is the difference between the child's capacity to solve problems
on his/her own capacity to solve them with assistance. This hypothesis postulates that
students acquire language in only one way. Basically, Input Hypothesis is due to the L1
development which perceives that the development from a learner’s current stage of L1
development, I, to the next stage, i+1, is achieved through the learner comprehending
language which contains linguistic components at i+1. This theory is transferable to the
context of L2 or foreign language acquisition.

As Krashen (1985) claims that for acquisition, whether L1 or L2, to occur the student
should be exposed to large amounts of comprehensible input. Based on this underlying
assumption, maximizing learners’ exposure to the target language (EFL/ESL) will be very
beneficial to the learners. Given more learning opportunity by exposing the learner to the
target language is so called immersion model. Johnson and Swain (1997) assert that
immersion is a learning situation where learners with a high-status L1 are taught through the
medium of the L2 in classes containing only such learners, usually by bilingual teachers. In
such situation of learning, the learners are forced into the mainstream of L2 (English) then
this model is well know as bilingual education.

2. Writing purpose.
1. To present a summary of the research results.
2. To identify the purpose of journal writing / research.
3. To explain the research results.
4. To analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the journal.
5. To explain the research method.

Tujuan Penelitian To find out the application of the bilingual
education model in the pilot international
standard schools (international standard
schools) in Indonesia

Data and Techniques.
Success Indicators.

Data collection technique The data collection technique used in this

research is to carry out the stages of each cycle,
starting from planning, acting, observing, and
reflecting.

1. application of Cycle I

In many countries where English as a foreign

or second language, the immersion program
which is implemented in the form of English
medium of instruction (EMI) is enacted based
Research result on the National Policy on Education. In 2003,
the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture,
Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT)
announced an action plan that aims to produce
Japanese citizens who can function effectively
in English in international setting (Taguchi &
Naganuma, 2006).

This policy becomes the legal foundation of

the enactment of EMI in Japan. While in
Indonesia, the implementation of EMI is due to
the issuance of national Education Act No.
20/2003 which mandates that the central and/or
local government should develop at least one
school at every level of education into a
national school which has international
standard (Haryana, 2007).

This kind of school which is known as Sekolah

Bertaraf internasional (International Standard
School), as it is defined in Standar Nasional
Pendidikan (National Education Standard),
should adopt and adapt other education
standards even those of other countries. The
end of the goal of the implementation of the
program is to create internationally smart and
competitive Indonesian people who are able to
compete and collaborate globally and the
output are expected to be able to master the
key of global competencies.

The consequence of the policy, on behalf the

authority of education in Indonesia, Dinas
Pendidikan (local education office) forces the
school to pioneering the establishment of
Sekolah Bertaraf Internasional or SBI
(International Standard School). On the other
hand, the schools enthusiastically join the
competition to reach the predication of SBI
which seemingly, to their perception will raise
the prestige of the schools.

Indeed, the establishments of such school

should follow some procedures and through
gradual steps, for instance to be SBI, a school
firstly should be validated as National Standard
school. Based on the data, recently in every
kabupaten or kota (district or municipality)
there have been on average 3 Rintisan Sekolah
Bertaraf Internasional or RSBI (Internasional
Standard School to be). For example, in
Malang, SMA 1, SMA 3, and SMA 5 have
been decided as RSBI (Jawa Pos, 2009).

2. Application of Cycle II

The use of English as the medium of

instruction of subject matters or content areas
as the form of bilingual education still triggers
controversies in the field of education up to the
present days especially in Indonesia. On the
other hand, based on the educational policy
which is supported Education Act, Indonesian
government has strived to implement the
model of instruction (EMI) with various
reasons, which in my opinion tend to be
political one. Though, bilingual education is a
part of government’s policy, everything
concerns with the program should be prepared
appropriately. The availability of infrastructure
 and the readiness of the parties involved in the
program should be prepared well and
considered seriously. Teachers as the
forerunners of the program should be put on
the top of the priority of the preparation.

3.Application of Cycle III

So far, there is no study, especially in

Indonesian context, which is conducted to dig
up about the fact of the effect of
Englishmedium of instruction to the learners’
achievement. Whereas, this kind of instruction
which becomes the model of bilingual
education has been run in many schools.
Therefore, it is highly recommended to
conduct the study in Indonesian context which
extremely has different culture.

The result of the study will provide a lot of

beneficial information about the fact of the
education, especially its cultural aspect which
in the next turn will be useful as the basis of
the plan and action of the establishment of
bilingual education as the soul of SBI
(International Standard School). Undisputedly,
research will say the truth and the fact of
everything being investigated.
Research Strengths From the Scope Aspect of the Article Content

education is applied in pilot international
standard schools (international standard
 schools) in Indonesia.

From the aspect of the scope of the article

language

CLOSING

A. CONCLUSION
As a matter of fact, bilingual education is not new issue already especially in the
Western hemisphere. But this model triggers controversies in the field of education,
especially among the experts of the field. In some countries, this education program have not
given satisfactory results. In Indonesia, based on the Education Act 2003, the government of
Indonesia has endorsed some schools (at least 1 school in every district or municipality) to be
International Standard School. The society and schools which are overwhelmed with
euphoria respond the policy enthusiastically.

But, the implementation of this education has produced many problems, especially in
the level of execution of the program, such as the teachers’ difficulties and failure in running
the instruction as what is being expected. It is not too late to improve the quality of the
implementation of the program. The most promising effort to improve it is conducting
research for it provides the most scientific and logic approach to academic judgment even
decision. Bilingual education is very probable implemented in Indonesia as long as it is
prepared appropriately and wisely

A. ADVICE

That is the critical Journal Report I have compiled, I hope this critical Journal Report is
useful for readers. In this writing, I realize that there are still many shortcomings,
suggestions and constructive criticism are very much expected to perfect my critical
Journal Report.
