This descriptive research used case study as the frame work to describe the phenomenon within the implementation process of KTSP. The respondents of this study were English teachers from three Junior High Schools at different cluster which certainly have been implementing KTSP. From the analysis using the context of instructional planning in KTSP and Dick and Reiser (1996), it was found that some respondents could accomplish the complete and systematic instructional plan. However, the respondents revealed that they faced some difficulties in designing the instructional plan which was resulted from the lack of knowledge, socialization and training, and schools' facility.
