Abstract

This study examines curriculum strategies implemented in five countries Singapore, Finland, Japan, Indonesia, and the United States using a library research approach. The main objective of this research is to analyze similarities, differences, challenges, and strategic orientations in curriculum development across diverse national education systems. Data were collected from scholarly journal articles, government policy documents, and international education reports published by reputable institutions. The analysis indicates that each country adopts distinct curriculum strategies influenced by its socio-cultural context, governance structure, policy priorities, and long-term educational goals. Singapore emphasizes competency-based learning aligned with economic needs, Finland prioritizes flexibility and teacher autonomy, Japan focuses on character education and cultural values, Indonesia continues to adapt its curriculum to improve relevance and equity, while the United States highlights standards-based accountability and innovation. Despite these differences, common patterns emerge, particularly in the emphasis on competency development, integration of 21st-century skills, teacher quality improvement, and curriculum adaptability to global challenges such as digitalization and workforce transformation. The findings suggest that effective curriculum development requires a balance between global educational trends and local contextual needs. This study contributes to comparative education discourse by providing insights that may inform policymakers and educators in designing responsive and sustainable curriculum strategies.

Abstract

Although word stress has received considerable attention in pronunciation and phonological studies, research specifically examining word stress patterns in authentic workplace communication represented through movies remains limited. This study aims to analyze the use and communicative functions of word stress in The Devil Wears Prada. A qualitative approach with a descriptive research design was employed. The data consisted of selected words containing identifiable primary stress patterns found in the movie script and audio dialogues. Data were collected through observation and note-taking by repeatedly watching the movie, examining the script, and identifying words with prominent stress patterns. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis by classifying stress placement, identifying word classes, and interpreting the communicative functions of stress in the dialogues. The findings show that word stress appears in nouns, adjectives, and occupational terms, including “fashion,” “assistant,” “designer,” “important,” and “magazine.” The analysis indicates that accurate stress placement helps speakers emphasize key information, clarify meaning, express communicative intentions, and improve speech intelligibility in workplace interactions. This study concludes that word stress functions as an important suprasegmental feature in authentic spoken discourse. The findings contribute to phonological studies by demonstrating how stress patterns operate in movie-based workplace communication and provide practical implications for English pronunciation learning by supporting the use of movies as authentic materials to improve students’ awareness of word stress and other suprasegmental features.
