ABSTRACTIndonesia has an education figure that greatness is not inferior to other world education figures i.e. Ki Hajar Dewantara. He explained that education is an effort in increasing the growth of manners (inner strength, character, mind, and intellectualism) from the body of the students, so the live of the students suit their world. Learning is defined by Knowles as a way of organizing learners to achieve the goal. Manners operationally is a positive behavior that is done through the custom that is formed into a person's character/learners. Based on these two definitions appears that education, learning, character/characters is a unity that cannot be separated with each other. Positive behaviors that must be drilled to learners consists of many aspects and one of them is how to speak. Thus, training the speech containing positive behavior is mandatory for language teacher (Indonesian Language). Any language skills cannot be trained separately between one's skills with other language skills. As a professional teacher, arranging strategies for Indonesian language teacher which are always associated with character education will no longer be a burden. Literature is a picture of human life. Literature becomes right media in imparting a positive character for learners. Through the Indonesia language teacher professionalism will form a younger generation who have lofty manners or strong character. Keywords: learning, language and literature, characters.

Abstract, Various efforts to make education more meaningful for individuals concerning affective domain has been conducted through several subjects, including Religion Education, Civics Education, Social Sciences Education, Indonesian Language Education, and Physical Education. However, those efforts could not effectively hold character building which is dynamic and adaptive to fast changing era. The failure of character building at formal school must be anticipated, so it is necessary to develop relevant teaching model and education system. The problem of character education in school which is not yet able to build students’ character is affected by several factors: school management, teacher, and learning model. Some researches on best practices of character educationhave been conducted in order to obtain relevant teaching model at several Islamic boarding schools in North Sumatera Province, Nangroe Aceh Darussalam Province, West Sumatera Province, Riau Province, Jambin Province and South Sumatera Province. The data was collected using indepth-interview and observation. It was found that salafiyah Islamic boarding school put more priority on teacher (ustadz) role model, while modern Islamic boarding school applied tight rules to develop students’ discipline, and responsibility. Islamic boarding schools build the characters of caring for other people, sincerity of devotion, modesty, and independence. The policy that could be suggested based on this research is that of the application of character education must be holistically embedded in school program and must be comprehended and obeyed by school’s educators and students alikeBetter implementation could be achieved if the character education is explicitly formulated in the mission statement of the school.   Keywords:  character education, learning model, Islamic boarding school  Abstrak, Berbagai upaya untuk menjadikan pendidikan lebih mempunyai makna bagi individu yang menyentuh tataran afektif telah dilakukan melalui mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama, Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan, Pendidikan IPS, Pendidikan Bahasa Indonesia, dan Pendidikan Jasmani. Namun demikian upaya-upaya tersebut ternyata belum mampu mewadahi pengembangan karakter secara dinamis dan adaptif terhadap perubahan jaman yang sangat cepat. Permasalahan gagalnya pendidikan formal di sekolah dalam membentuk karakter siswa sangat perlu diantisipasi, sehingga perlu dikembangkan suatu model pembelajaran dan system pendidikan yang dapat digunakan untuk membentuk karakter siswa. Permasalahan pendidikan di sekolah yang belum dapat membentuk karakter siswa dipengaruhi oleh beberapa factor, diantaranya factor manajemen sekolah, guru, dan model pembelajaran. Untuk memperoleh model pembelajaran yang cocok, telah dilakukan penelitian tentang best practices pendidikan karakter di beberapa pesantren yang berada di propinsi Sumatera Utara, propinsi Nangroe Aceh Darussalam, propinsi Sumatera Barat, propinsi Riau, propinsi Jambi, dan propinsi Sumatera Selatan. Pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini dilakukan dengan dua tehnik yang lazim digunakan dalam penelitian dalam penelitian kualitatif, yaitu; observasi dan wawancara mendalam. Ditemukan bahwa pesantren salafiyah lebih mengutamakan keteladanan ustadz, sedangkan pesantren modern menerapkan aturan yang ketat untuk menumbuhkan sikap disiplin dan tanggungjawab. Pesantren menumbuhkan atribut karakter saling tolong menolong, ihklas mengabdi, kesederhanaan, dan kemandirian. Kebijakan yang dapat diambil berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini adalah menerapkan pendidikan karakter secara holistic melalui program sekolah yang harus dipahami dan dipatuhi oleh semua unsur pendidik dan peserta didik.  Untuk itu, lembaga pendidikan seharusnya menetapkan misi yang eksplisit terkait pengembangan karakter siswa.  Kata Kunci: pendidikan karakter, model pembelajaran, pondok pesantren

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.
