<![CDATA[This article explores the U.S. English Language Arts Curriculum and Indonesian Language and Literature Curriculum. A comparative analysis is drawn to investigate ideological, cultural, and political economy factors that influence the development of both curricula. In addition, the educational purposes and philosophies that support both curricula are also exposed. Specifically, the discussion of the unstated purposes of the curricula shows an interesting finding. Language and literature curriculum of both countries highlight the importance of citizenship and character education and are integrated in the teaching of the curricula. However, the US language curriculum places a premium on fostering American identity, with an emphasis on increasing learning for professional workforce and career-ready individuals, which will benefit the global economy in the future. Meanwhile, Indonesian language curriculum gives priority to moral and religious instruction. The language and literature teaching are integrated in nation’s character building. After analyzing, comparing, and contrasting both curricula, the author found that America successfully instills character education to shape the worldview and characters of its citizens extracted from their clear ideology, while Indonesia is somewhat inexplicable and vague. Therefore, this article shows room for improvement for educators and educational leaders in Indonesia to be clearer in defining which character is best exposed in the curriculum.]]>

The novel tells about some discrimination experienced by two main characters who were born at the same time and with similar appearance. The objectives of the writing is to investigate the kinds of the discrimination reflected by the two major characters and to elaborate the way the characters resolve the problem of discrimination. In performing the analysis, the writer utilized structural approach focusing on the intrinsic elements of literary works which are inherent in the novel. The primary data concerned text analysis that accounted primarily for literary text of the novel. This was then analyzed by means of qualitative social constructivism interpretative paradigm. Results of analysis demonstrated that social class influences the discrimination, the second was that appearance influences the discrimination, and the third was that the education also influences the existence of discrimination. Tom Canty who was born within poor family got used to deal with the discrimination. It is because he has experienced the discrimination since he was born to the world. While Edward Tudor even though he finds it difficult at the beginning to deal with discrimination finally he could afford to adjust himself with the condition.

<![CDATA[Developing human resource and its institution on the basis of indigenous knowledge and wisdom is the theme where this study is embedded. It is a scientific contribution to the development of tertiary education system in which English is offered in all levels and in all scientific areas. This research is based on the fact that English as a foreign language is considered important even though it does not attract many people's interests due to many different factors. The most dominant factors are certainly both teachers and learners of the English as a foreign language (EFL) themselves. This study investigates the effect of myth and tradition of Bugis-Makassar on the teaching strategies of the EFL teachers and the learning strategies of the EFL learners in several universities in South Sulawesi Province. It aims to comprehend the impact of the local culture on the learning process applied by teachers and students. Based on both qualitative and quantitative methods, it is found that three significant categories are underlying the culture - “faith”, “norm”, and “value” inherent in local myth and tradition of Bugis-Makassar value on the preference strategies in foreign language learning. The statistical measurement shows that “value” is the most influential aspect among the others. In addition, the three other categories; ‘Knowledge’, ‘Skill’, and ‘Action’ are of affecting methods from local myth and tradition. Deep understanding on the influence of both myth and tradition, as part of culture society towards students’ learning strategies as well as teachers’ strategies, would be meaningful inputs for adjusting the designed and adapted materials in achieving the objective goals of learning]]>
