The design of this study is Design and Development Research (DDR) proposed by Ellis & Levi (2010); and Gall & Borg (2003) and qualitative descriptive as a research method used in this study. The findings reveal that Life and Career Skills have been integrated implicitly and explicitly into speaking syllabuses which appear mostly in syllabus components such as Course Description, Learning Objectives, Learning Outcomes, Materials, Teaching Methods, Learning Media, Assessment/Evaluation, and Course Policy. Oral/Written Communication and Critical Thinking competencies are the main LCS-indicators which are highly addressed in the existing speaking syllabuses. This study sets for the procedure of LCS integration and the design of Life and Career Skills-integrated speaking syllabuses; Speaking for General Purposes, Speaking for Professional Purposes, and Speaking for Academic Purposes. A skill-based syllabus is referred to design the proposed syllabuses.

As part of an educational institution, teachers have the responsibility and important role to equip students with a variety of skills. Younger generation is now faced with the need for 21st century skills, commonly referred to as 21st century skills. These skills include learning and innovation skills, information, media, and technology skills, as well as life and career skills. Demands and challenges for students are no longer merely identifying the subject matter, but also having the ability to solve various problems related to the knowledge. One of the capabilities relevant to these needs is the ability of metacognition, namely the ability to: 1) plan problem solving strategies, 2) monitor the problem solving process, and 3) evaluate the results of problem solving. There are various reasons why this important metacognition ability is developed in students. By having good metacognition skills, students will be trained to be good problem solvers. This is because the ability of metacognition encourages students to be able to determine what strategies are appropriate and not in accordance with the problems faced. This ability also encourages students to conduct evaluations and improvements based on the results obtained. Considering the importance of metacognition abilities, each learning process is expected to be able to facilitate the development of these abilities, including mathematics learning. This paper tries to explain what is meant by metacognition abilities, what is important for students, and how the teacher's role in developing these abilities through learning mathematics.

In this chapter, the authors take a multifaceted critical approach to understanding and deconstructing the term 21st century skills, especially in regard to technology and the role of corporations in the discourses about education. They also consider a range of cultural and political influences in our exploration of the social and academic meanings of the term, including its history and politics. The application of the term in present-day educational contexts is considered as well as possible futures implied through the term. The goal in this chapter is to counter ideas that might diminish a humanized educational practice. Specifically, the authors offer a critique of neoliberal discourses in education, particularly the neoliberal and corporate narrative around 21st century teaching and learning. They raise concerns about what an undue emphasis on industry-oriented educational systems can mean for the core purposes of education.
