BEBERAPA PERSPEKTIF TEORI PENYUSUNAN BAHAN AJAR KETERAMPILAN BERBAHASA INDONESIA

Abstract

Facing continuous global changes, the Indonesian government views that a
centralized curriculum is incapable of accommodating the development of knowledge and
community needs in the local, national, and global levels. A competence-based curriculum
is constructed with an expectation that in the national education system graduates have
competitive and comparative advantages. The Indonesian Language subject equips
students with awareness that the language is the national identity that unifies Indonesian
people as a nation and simultaneously the subject develops their linguistic and
communicative competence. Teachers' understanding of the scope of the competence
contents and theoretical perspectives in instructional materials development affects the
level of the competence attainment. Theoretical perspectives help teachers to develop
instructional materials for language skills relevant to students' communicative needs in
real life.
