Abstract

Teaching in the 21st century might be a challenging activity for teachers who experienced learning and teaching different era. It is because the students experience and cultivate different learning characters and environment. This paper is trying to elaborate how the Four Cs (critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration, and creativity and innovation) of the 21st century learning skills can be facilitated in the current Indonesian curriculum, namely the 2013 curriculum. Further, it puts forward a classroom example of the integration of the Four Cs in a teaching plan of an English listening lesson.
