Developing good characters may take quite a process of enculturation early at the primary schools. Character education may include local wisdom or local knowledge learnt through the Indonesia language curriculum. Bali’s local wisdom, which adheres in the Hindu philosophy, is potentially rich for the development of character education’s themes and sub-themes. The central themes and sub-themes fleshed out from the Hindu philosophy are coherently tied into a system of meaningful moral entity. Children may learn the moral characters contextually and meaningfully through the national language of Indonesia at schools. However, caution should be taken as the themes and the sub-themes are critically beyond the first and second graders’ cognitive and moral development stages.
This study aimed at producing an integrated thematic book in terms of Indonesian Language and Literature for grades I and II with local Balinese wisdom. Therefore, in year 1, exploration of themes/subthemes of the materials was conducted. In year 2, the draft plan was developed into a draft of the book. In year 3, the draft of the book was tested from the validity of experts, content, design, and media (Nieveen, 1999, Yamasari, 2003, Thiagara Jan 1974. Users' responses were based on field testing (Borg and Gall 1989 and Kusmariyatri, 2012). The methods of data collection were a questionnaire, observation, interview, and test. The results showed that: (1) integrated thematic book with sustainable local of Bali was qualified as a textbook. (2) The validity (experts, content, design, and media) was qualified as valid. Students' understanding valued 75 (good). Thus, this thematic book was qualified as teaching materials.
Teaching English online is considered problematic. The availability of a support system and internet quota is the main obstacle. This has an impact on the low ability of students. The purpose of this study is to analyze the abilities and constraints of teachers in preparing lesson plans and student obstacles in EFL learning through Google Meet during the Covid-19 pandemic. The sample of this research is a seventh-grade EFL teacher and also 60 seventh-grade junior high school students. The design applied is a mixed method. Data collection uses three instruments: a rating scale, teacher constraints, and student constraints in EFL through Google Meet. The study results indicate that in preparing the lesson plans, teachers are less capable and have several obstacles in choosing learning methods or techniques, selecting instruments and evaluation techniques, and selecting learning media. In addition, the results of the study indicate that students do not understand the material in lesson plans 3 and 4 and do not like to use Google Meet in learning English based on lesson plans 1.3 and 4. This is related to the limitations of students about it. This research implies that EFL teachers provide online learning plans and focus on selecting techniques or methods, evaluation processes, and media.

The aim of this study was to prove whether the implementation of PARTS Strategy and the students' anxiety gave a significant effect to the students' reading competency. The study was an experimental study by applying Post test only control group design. The population was nine classes (420 students) of grade XI in SMA Negeri 5 Denpasar academic year 2012/2013, in which 2 classes were samples which were assigned into two groups, i.e. experimental group and control group, by a Multi-Stage Random Sampling. The research data were collected through questionnaire and test that were analyzed using Statistical Two-Way Anova. The results show that, first, there was different effect in reading competency between the students who were taught by implementing PARTS strategy and those who were taught by implementing Conventional reading startegy (Sig.=0.004 < α =0.05). Secondly, there was not interactional effect of PARTS strategy and anxiety level upon the students' reading competency at the eleventh grade students of SMA negeri 5 Denpasar (Sig.=0.966 > α =0.05). In view of the results of this study, it is therefore suggested that teachers should use PARTS Strategy as an innovative teaching strategy since the facilitation of this strategy significantly improved the students' reading competency.

Some researchers believed that reading could support the process of mastering the other skills and improving the knowledge. However, the fact shows that not every individual learns it well. Moreover, in Indonesia, English is a foreign language. Thus, the way how the students in comprehending reading skill is totally different with the native students.Williams, (2010) wrote in her article that there are three minds of major problems in reading comprehension that being faced by students. First is language problem. Language plays a vital role in the reading skill. It can be taken an analogy like in ice hockey game. Someone who cannot skate will not able to play the ice hockey game. Thus, if someone has poor knowledge in English, his reading will also be poor and naturally also his reading comprehension. Second is foundational skill of reading haven't been atomized. It can be taken a case in speaking. When someone attempted to speak with a language which hasn't become automatic yet, necessarily he will try to divide his attention into two, contain of the text and the language itself. Because of his divided attention, the way how he
