Abstract

Language and culture are intertwined aspects that cannot be separated. Language is a manifestation of a developing culture. English is an universal language that is utilized in all countries as the language of communication. Learning it encourages students to speak and engage with people from all over the world, even if their cultural backgrounds are extremely different. Furthermore, the rapid development of the modernization era has decreased young people's enthusiasm for local wisdom. Given that local wisdom is the identity of a nation. Therefore, it is necessary to create an integrated English learning context with local wisdom in order to create a solid integrated learning in order to raise the profile of Pancasila students. The researcher wishes to conduct a literature review on the integration of local knowledge in English learning in order to raise the profile of Pancasila students. Learning English in integrated with local wisdom is one of the most authentic techniques of learning. In addition to employing teaching materials from the student's environment, this can raise the profile of Pancasila students in line with the Kurikulum Merdeka. This integration can assist teachers in becoming more creative in establishing teaching materials for English learners. It is expected that this step would shape and develop students' feelings of love and pride in the preservation of local wisdom in the nation.

Abstract

Abstract. This study compares and evaluates three alternative theoretical models of the relevant writing relationships. The reading dimensions of this model include components of understanding of places and parts. Dimensions include components of spelling, vocabulary, word structure, and story structure. These models differ with respect to the order in which the dimensions of reading and writing are related. The interactive model allows the use of reading knowledge in writing, and vice versa. Other models (read-to-write; write-to-read) only allow knowledge to move in one direction. These models are evaluated based on the model. The ability to explain the relationships found in the extensive corpus of reading and collecting data from 256 second graders and 251 fourth graders. The interactive model fits the data better than the read-to-write model at the second grade level and the write-to-read model at both grade levels and the read-to-write model are superior to the write-to-write model.  Specific relationships are examined and pedagogical implications.Keywords: Analysis, Model Comparison, Reading, Writing.
