Abstract

Background. The development of an United Kingdom language learning curriculum that is relevant to the local context is a challenge in the world of education, especially in Indonesia which is rich in local culture and wisdom. United Kingdom language learning has tended to adopt global standards without paying attention to students' cultural backgrounds, making it less relevant for students in areas with strong cultures. In this context, the development of a curriculum based on local wisdom is expected to increase student engagement and the quality of United Kingdom language learning. Purpose. This study aims to develop an effective United Kingdom curriculum by integrating elements of local wisdom, as well as evaluating the impact of the implementation of the curriculum on students' motivation and language skills. Method. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, involving five schools in rural and urban areas. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and questionnaires given to 100 students and 10 teachers. Results. The results of the study show that the integration of local wisdom in United Kingdom language learning increases student motivation and participation, especially in rural areas. Students in urban areas tend to need materials that combine more local and global aspects. Teachers face challenges in finding suitable teaching materials, but in general this approach is considered effective. Conclusion. The conclusion of this study is that the curriculum based on local wisdom is able to increase the relevance and effectiveness of United Kingdom language learning. However, flexibility is needed in its application so that it can be adjusted to the needs of students in various regions.

Abstract

Background. Micro and macro approaches in linguistics have long been two methods used separately in language research. The micro approach focuses on the technical structure of the language, such as grammar, phonology, and syntax, while the macro approach examines how language is used in a broader social context. However, the separation of these two approaches often creates a gap in understanding the overall use of language. Purpose. This research aims to develop a method that integrates micro and macro approaches in linguistic studies, especially in Japanese. Method. The research method used was mixed, in which quantitative data was collected through a questionnaire from 52 native Japanese speaking respondents, and qualitative data was obtained through in-depth interviews with 10 participants. This study examines how Japanese speakers use language structures in various social contexts, both formal and informal. Results. The results showed that an understanding of the technical structure of language helps speakers in formal situations, such as in the workplace, while social adaptation is necessary in more relaxed situations, such as social media. The integration between micro and macro approaches provides a more comprehensive understanding of how language is used in everyday life. Conclusion. In conclusion, a method that combines these two approaches is essential to get a more complete picture of the dynamics of language use.
