Most of English teachers still feel uncertain to implement Curriculum 13. The trainings for implementing it have not made them able to develop the students’ four language skills, spiritual, and social attitude. That is why it is necessary to develop a model for teaching English using Curriculum 13. The objectives of the research are: (1) to study the quality of the existing model for teaching English in SMA Surakarta; and (2) to develop a model for teaching English using Curriculum 13 which is feasible to develop the students’ four language skill, spiritual, and social attitude. The research method used is Research and Development. Because it is an educational research, it is classified as Educational Research and Development. The results of the research in the first year show that there are still some weaknesses of the existing model for teaching English, so it is necessary to design the prototype for teaching English using Curriculum 13. The prototype is tried out until it becomes a feasible model which is feasible for the teacher to teach English, for the students to study English, and feasible for developing the students’ four language skills (listening, reading, speaking, and writing), spiritual, and social attitude.
