Abstract

This study analyzes cultural diversity representation in the newest mandated English textbook of the Merdeka curriculum for seventh grade. The researcher uses Cortazzi and Jin's theory of cultural representation, dividing the representation into three cultures: source, target, and international. This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method, and the whole book is analyzed without exception. From this research, the researcher found that a set of pilot characters has an important role in delivering the materials. The pilot characters come from various backgrounds from various places in Indonesia. Moreover, they also have different hobbies that will be the main highlight of this research. First, it is found that there is a complex representation of source culture, or Indonesian culture, where there are people, lifestyles, culinary, and traditional representations of culture. Then, the target culture, or the English native language country, is represented once, and finally, the international culture presents lifestyle and culinary aspects. Secondly, this textbook presents an imbalanced cultural diversity in delivering its material. Therefore, the researcher hopes this research could raise the awareness of cultural diversity as it is important for the students to be exposed to many different cultural aspects.

Abstract

This research seeks to reveal what basic skills are most needed by prospective students who will participate in one of the programs initiated by the Indonesian government, Kampus Mengajar. This can be a reflection of the study program where students are studying and preparing themselves, whether the material and training they have received before entering the field can be said to be sufficient, or whether there is still a lot of homework for the study program and students concerned to be more ready to handle school assistance tasks. By the government's initial goals and intentions, this program is designed to assist elementary, middle, and high school schools in improving literacy, numeracy skills, and mastery of learning technology for all students. This research was carried out by interviewing students who had completed Kampus Mengajar program at several schools. From the results of observations and in-depth interviews, it was discovered that the curriculum we implemented needed to be reviewed periodically to answer the school's challenges. Several things that deserve our attention as curriculum implementers are that there is a need to reduce courses that are linguistic theory in nature and increase the weight of learning that is training in nature in preparing learning models at the basic level.
