The researcher chose SMPN 3 Jember because it was selected by the government as one of pilot project schools to implement this new curriculum. Based on the result of data analysis, it could be reported that the implementation of 2013 curriculum by the English teacher was good enough. On the “planning”, the teacher had implemented it correctly based on format of the lesson plan directed by the government on Permendikbud Nomor 81A Tahun 2013 Lampiran IV about components and systematic of Lesson Plan. There were nine components of lesson plan; lesson plan identity (name of school, subject, class/semester, material, and time alocation), core competency, basic competence and its indicators, teaching objective, material, teaching method, media, tools, learning sources, steps of learning, activity and evaluation. However, the teacher had not put the set induction and closure activity for each meeting. Besides, some operational verbs (KKO) were not applied as it is suggested by Anderson, L.W. and Krathwohl, D.R. that it should be operational verbs. For the implementation of 2013 Curriculum, based on the observation in the classroom through two meetings the teacher did all the procedure correctly. Although the teacher did not put set induction and closure activity in the lesson plan, the teacher implemented it in the classroom in every meeting. However, in the second meeting she forgot to check the students’ attendance. In both meetings the teacher did not complete all teaching learning activity because of the time. In the first meeting the students did not do their excercise and in the second meeting not all students present their work.
