The research is a qualitative study. The objectives of the research are (1) to know how much the teachers in SMA Negeri 1 Manyaran understand about the implementation of the genre based approach, (2) to know what is the teachers’ attitude to the implementation of the genre based approach, (3) to find out how the syllabus and lesson plan have been developed, and (4) to know what are the problems faced by the teachers in implementing the genre based approach. The research was conducted in SMA Negeri 1 Manyaran, that is located in Jln Manyaran – Wonogiri, Bero, Manyaran. The data were collected through interview, classroom observation, and document analysis. In analyzing the data the writer used interactive model analysis including reducing the data, presenting the data and drawing conclusion. The result of the study shows that theoretically the teachers in SMA Negeri 1 Manyaran understand enough about the implementation of the genre based approach. It can be seen from their answer to the researcher’s question about the implementation of the genre based approach. But the teachers did not implement the techniques in the genre based approach appropriately. The teachers in this school actually agree and support the implementation of the genre based approach, because it enables students to apply their knowledge in English in real communication. The syllabi and lesson plans have been developed by the teachers in this school through the training and instruction that have been given by the minister of education. There was no examiner who evaluates the process of the development of syllabus and lesson plan and also evaluates the result of them. The evaluation of the syllabus and lesson plan was done by the supervisor if the certain teachers got promotion or in the process of accreditation. The problem in implementing the genre based approach according to the teachers came from the students, the students’ low competence and motivation. Besides that, the school has to follow the prescribed curriculum. The teaching learning activities was aimed to make students ready to face the examination. Based on the result of study above, it can be concluded that they teachers understand enough about the implementation of the genre based approach, but the implementation in this school has not been done perfectly because of some problems. The teachers should use the steps in curriculum cycle in the genre based approach besides preparing students to meet the examination, because they also need to implement their knowledge in English in the communication. For students, they have to improve their English outside classroom by doing interesting activities, such as listening to the English songs, watching English movies, reading English novel or article, etcetera.
