Abstract

Influenced by the use of international published textbook, many English teachers in Indonesia have faced double goals in teaching, between to fulfill both requirements from the school and the government. The fulfillment of it impacted upon the perception of the teachers. This qualitative case study investigated the gap of one teacher-s perception between the use of international published textbook (IPT) and the implementation of Curriculum 2013 in the use of it. The findings indicate that the teacher-s perception on the use of IPT was more positive rather than on the implementation of Curriculum 2013. This gap was influenced by mandated policy the school has in using IPT as the main material in teaching. The implications of this study relate to the space given in teaching English using IPT without imposing it into a rigid curriculum framework.
