<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the intrinsic elements, character education values, and relevance of the novel “Burlian” by Tere Liye as teaching material for the topic of reviewing works of fiction in Grade VIII of junior high school (SMP). The study is motivated by students' low proficiency in identifying the intrinsic elements of literary works and the limited availability of teaching materials that integrate character education values into instruction. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed. The primary data source was the novel “Burlian” by Tere Liye, with data consisting of phrases, sentences, dialogue, and paragraphs containing intrinsic elements and character education values. Supporting data were obtained through interviews with an Indonesian language teacher. Data collection techniques included document study and interviews, while data analysis involved data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the novel “Burlian” possesses a complete set of intrinsic elements: theme, characters and characterization, plot, setting, point of view, language style, and moral message. The study also identified seven character education values: religiosity, honesty, discipline, tolerance, friendliness/communicativeness, social awareness, and responsibility. Based on a relevance assessment covering linguistic, psychological, and socio-cultural aspects, as well as alignment with the Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum), the novel “Burlian” is deemed suitable for use as teaching material for reviewing works of fiction in Grade VIII SMP. The research findings were subsequently used to develop printed teaching materials (handouts) containing content, analysis examples, and learning exercises. Thus, the novel “Burlian” not only holds literary value but is also suitable as teaching material that supports learning how to review fiction while simultaneously instilling character education values. Keywords: “Burlian” novel, intrinsic elements, character education values, teaching materials, handout.]]>
