Bharati/ EEJ 9 (2) 2019 254 - 266 255 INTRODUCTION Juvenile delinquency and the problem of moral deficiency of young generations has become a world apprehension. Nowadays, the characters of education have been included in the school curriculum, but there were still increased in the moral degradation such as students’ bullying, students’ brawl, drug use, sexual harassment and lying to other people just for hiding mistakes. Those are the illustration from the situation in the society even though there are some children that have been educated in the school with the good curriculum, so the character building is recently much needed in Indonesian education as a way to overcome those problems. Most teachers are still not able to integrate character education in their teaching learning because there is not a good model and specific design for character education then their understanding and concept about it is still not comprehensive. Based on the reasons discussed, the present study is conducted to find out and explain the implementation of character education in the English teaching learning using 2013 curriculum. Today, strengthening personal and social of morality is one of the fundamental aims of life and moral education is one of important aspects of education. There is no human that was born perfectly with the good behavior. They will grow into good people when they are supported by some factors that have been developed in their environtment or institution, such as religious facility, educational environment, good families and government. Character education is anything that school might try to provide outside of academics, especially when the purpose is to help children grow into good people (Kohn, 1997) Character education must be internalized in the formal and informal condition. At times it has been integrated in small ways into many order pieces of the curriculum. Good character can not be established automatically, but it needs a long time and habituation. The long term process by which positive personality traits are developed, encouraged, and reinforced through example study and practice. Goldberg (2003) added that character education refers to a teaching activity that helps students to find the universal value, core value, and moral education, so it can enable the students to think and act within a moral scope. He added that the content of character education should include knowledge and morals. The first is the education in the moral cognition; the students should be taught to recognize moral values and must be able to predict the sensibility the influence of moral behaviour. The second is the education in moral emotion; students should be able to address the issues of individual preferences and the influence of moral character on future behavior. The third is education in moral behavior; the students should be taught to make moral judgements, identify between the models of corect and incorrect behavior. There are 18 character values to be developed (Kemendiknas, 2010). They are religiousness, honesty, discipline, tolerance, Hard work/persistence, Creativity, Independence, Democracy, Curiosity, Patriotism, Nationalism, Appreciation on Achievement, Friendliness/Communicative Competence, Peace loving, Literacy, Care for Environment, Social responsibility, Responsibility. Given the importance of character education above mentioned, our government of the Republic Indonesia sees the essence of character education to be re-birthed and re- implemented in education system within the country. The Ministry of Education (MOE) of the Republic of Indonesia is implementing its new curriculum named 2013 Curriculum. One or the ultimate goal of this new curriculum is to improve the moral and character of the students. Curriculum change in Indonesia has occurred in many times. Nowadays, The National Education Department has changed the previous curriculum-School Based Naelatut Thoyyibah, Rudi Hartono, Dwi Anggani L. Bharati/ EEJ 9 (2) 2019 254 - 266 256 Curriculum (SBC) 2006-with the new one called 2013 Curriculum. The existence of 2013 curriculum becomes a great attention and leads to controversy for most people, because some people regard 2013 curriculum is not ready to implement. However, the curriculum change especially 2013 curriculum is purposed to reach better education system. The implementation of 2013 curriculum will be successful if all the components of education give their supports and contribution to it. The character values of 2013 curriculum will be conveyed through them. In the implementation of 2013 curriculum, there are three related dimensions. They cannot be separated. They are planning, teaching learning process, and learning evaluation. Their lesson plan can help the teacher in choosing the suitable materials, methods, strategies in their teaching learning and the evaluation procedures will be used to know the product of teaching learning process and students’achivement. As one of schools in Demak which has implemented 2013 curriculum, SMP 1 Kebonagung Demak obviously supported the English teachers to implement the curriculum. The school has given some supports in many aspects, such as school regulation, teacher training, character as habituation, good facility and etc. Considering all the issues stated above, the writer will know how the implementation of 2013 curriculum by the English teachers SMP 1 Kebonagung Demak. Their integration of character education is starting from planning, the process of teaching learning, and evaluating. It become an obligatory subject and as one of the subjects that examined in the national examination. Learning English is necessary, especially for Indonesian students. SMP 1 Kebonagung Demak is one of the alternative schools that have integrated character values and fun learning through teaching and learning process. METHOD This study is a qualitative; a case study that was undertaken in order to describe how character education is implemented in SMP 1 Kebonagung Demak.

There were two English teachers who become the participants of this research. For privacy reasons they will be referred to as the first teacher (T1) and the second teacher (T2). These two teachers come from different grade Naelatut Thoyyibah, Rudi Hartono, Dwi Anggani L. Bharati/ EEJ 9 (2) 2019 254 - 266 257 class but still in same school. The first teacher (T1) taught in the seventh grade and the second teacher (T2) taught in the Eighth grade. The data were obtained from analyzing teacher’s lesson plan by using lesson plan analysis checklist, classroom observation by using observation checklist, and interview. In the finding above, the researcher has described (1) character values that were integrate in the lesson plans (2) the character values that were integrate in teaching learning process. The Integration of Character Values in the Syllabus and Lesson Plan Before doing class observation, the researcher analysed the syllabus and lesson plans from the two English teachers. Teachers in making lesson plans are always based on syllabus. The syllabus was generally used by teachers as a basis to make a lesson plan. Syllabus is generally used by teachers in planning of learning, carrying out learning and developing assessment systems for students. From the data (see Appendix 1), it showed that the English teachers created the syllabus based on the new model of syllabus stated in teacher’s guide on character education published by Ministry of National Education. Based on the data above it revealed that teachers integrated character education in their syllabus. They integrated it in the special column namely the character value beside the basic competence (Kompetensi Dasar). In analysing the documents especially syllabus and lesson plans, I focused on certain basic competences inserted certain characters that were taught by the teachers during my classroom teaching learning observation. In the basic competence (KD) 3.3 (knowledge aspect), and 4.3 (skill aspect) for teacher that taught in the seventh grade and the basic competence (KD) 3.3 as knowledge aspect, and 4.3 as skill aspect taught in the eighth grade. In the seventh grade the teacher taught the material about time and in the eighth grade learned about invites someone and prohibit expression. From the analysis of the lesson plans (see Appendix 2) given by the teachers, the lesson plan, teaching material and media were adjusted to those basic competences. From those basic competences, it was written some expected character values in their syllabus, i.e. religiousness, discipline, independence, curiosity, honesty, perseverance, responsibility, confidence. The teaching and learning process is divided into three parts, namely: Pre-activity, Whilst-activity, and post activity. The teachers mentioned the character values in a special point in the lesson plan and “in the end of learning activities”. The researcher found some characters that were planned to be implemented by the teacher. The researcher took two samples of lesson plans from each teacher; therefore, the researcher got four lesson plans in total. The first lesson plan given by the first teacher (T1), the material was about the name of the days, months, name of time in the days, the time in numeral, dates, and years. In the syllabus and lesson plan the focus character values in first meeting are honesty, discipline, confidence, responsibility, and cooperation (see appendix 2) and in the learning material the teacher developed some characters values which were religiousness, discipline, confidence, honesty, hard work, curiosity, the environmental care, nationalism. The second lesson plan from the first teacher (T1) contained the focus values of religiousness, honesty, confidence, discipline, responsibility, cooperation whereas in the learning material the teacher added some character values were discipline, confidence, honesty, hard work, curiosity, cooperation. The teaching material was about determined the name and the number of things, animals, and the building in the surrounding (see appendix 2). The next lesson plan from the second teacher (T2) with the teaching material giving instructions, inviting someone, and prohibition included the focus values of honesty, discipline, responsibility whereas in the learning material the teacher developed some character values were religiousness, honesty, Naelatut Thoyyibah, Rudi Hartono, Dwi Anggani L. Bharati/ EEJ 9 (2) 2019 254 - 266 258 discipline, curiosity, responsibility, hard work, environmental care (see appendix 2). The material of the second lesson plan is greeting card that included some focus values were politeness, care, love in peace, and cooperation. Meanwhile in the teaching material the teacher developed some characters were religiousness, honesty, confidence, responsibility, cooperation, hard work, environmental care and cooperation. Although some of the values were not included in the character values launched by the government, but those values were appreciation and open-mindedness (see appendix 2). As we can see from the results above, all the teachers mentioned the character values in a special point in their lesson plan. The researcher could also find the elaboration of character values in the learning activities point. From the four lesson plans as a sample provided by the first teacher (T1) and the second teacher (T2), the researcher found 13 character values. The most frequent was religiousness, confidence, discipline, hard work, responsibility, honesty, curiosity, cooperation and environmental care.

The Teachers’ Role In Internalizing Character Education In The English Teaching Learning Using 2013 Curriculum From the observation and field notes about the character values and how the teacher internalized them in teaching and learning English activities were found that there were fourteen character values implemented in the teaching learning activity. In detail, it can be explained bellow: Religiousness Teachers had internalized religiousness value in the beginning of the classroom activity. Teacher asked the students to pray first before starting their lesson. The information about this activity can be seen based on the following explanation: At 07.00 the teacher let the students pray before starting the lesson. The teacher says: “Before we start our lesson today, Let‟s reciting Basmallah together”. And all the students: “Bismillahirrohmanirrohim”. The evidence above was categorized as religious aspect on the teachers or students’ performance in the teaching learning activity. Teacher said: “Let’s reciting Basmallah together” in classroom activity. It indicated that teacher had implemented religious aspect in the beginning of teaching learning activity. Honesty Honesty is attitudes based on one’s effort to make a person who is trustworthy in speech, action, and work (Kementerian Pendidikan Nasional, 2010). The honesty aspect can be seen on the following sentences: Teacher says “Okay let’s do it by you. Don’t be cheating and please be honest!” All the students say “Yes Ma‟am”.The utterance in confirmed that honesty was implemented in the classroom activity. Teacher gave instruction to students to do their assignment based on their self. Teacher forbade all the students for cheating and asked them to be honest. It indicated that honesty had been integrated in the teaching learning activity. Tolerance In the classroom activity, there were indicators that showed the teachers did not differentiate for special needs of the students in the classroom. Data from interview indicated that in tolerance aspect, the teachers gave opportunity for all students to join in a group in the teaching learning activity. The teachers also did not differentiate between smart students or low ability students. It showed that tolerance had been internalized by the teachers Naelatut Thoyyibah, Rudi Hartono, Dwi Anggani L. Bharati/ EEJ 9 (2) 2019 254 - 266 261 in the English teaching learning process. The tolerance aspect can be seen on the following sentences: Teacher says, “Okay Let‟s count from number 1 until 6 to determine the groups. Because every group has different place for looking the things in the room”. Students say, “One student mention one number from 1-6”. Discipline To internalize this value, the teachers started from their personality and habituation. The teachers were as figure or model that can make the students will be discipline. It can be viewed when the teachers came on time into class and after that they checked students’ attendance in the classroom. The first activity done by teachers was checking students’ attendance in the classroom. It is one of indicators mentioned in character value by (Kementerian Pendidikan Nasional, 2010). The discipline aspect can be seen on the following sentences: At 07.05 the teacher checked the students’ attendance. Teacher mentioned name of the students one by one. Teacher says: “Who is absent today?” The students answer the teacher by saying present or absent. The finding above indicated that teacher regularly checked the students’ attendance before beginning the lesson. The sentence “who is absent today” indicated that teacher implemented character education in the classroom activity. Checking the students’ attendance had a function to know existence of the students in the classroom. They must come on time or ask permission first to the school officer first to come late. If they violated the regulation, they would get warning from the teacher. Perseverance/Hard work In the classroom teaching learning process teacher were creative to create an earnest condition in learning activity by giving the good technic and method. Teachers made the students more active, creative, and competitive in the classroom activity and also gave suggestions and motivation to them when they were passive and lazy, so almost all of students had followed the teaching learning process by more hard work and more competitive. It can be seen on the sentences: Teacher says: “Open your book please! Can you find the difficult word from the text?” Students answer: “Yes ma’am”. Teacher says: “Let’s find the difficult word now! Please one you write the word on the white board!” Students answer: “Yes Ma’am”. Teacher says: “Okay, now write on the white board the difficult word!” then all students say: “Yes Ma’am”. Independence The ability of Independence can be seen when the teacher asked the students opening the textbook and finding the difficult word from the text. The teacher asked the students to find difficult words and write them on the white board later one by one. It can be seen from these utterances. Teacher says “Let’s find the difficult word now! Please one you write the word on the white board!”. Students answer “Yes ma’am”. Based on the utterances above the teacher gave the students’ opportunity to work independently. So, it created the condition that integrated the character value of independence in the classroom teaching learning process. Democracy The teacher made class discussion to internalize character values of democracy in the classroom teaching learning activity. Each group consisted of 4 until 5 members who presented different topic of the text. By working in group, students learned how to express their opinions with others and share the ideas but still respected to those who have different ones. Teacher says: “Okay, have you done? Now we divided our class by some groups, a group consists of 4 people and please makes your own group! We discuss together.” Students answer: “Yes sir”. Naelatut Thoyyibah, Rudi Hartono, Dwi Anggani L. Bharati/ EEJ 9 (2) 2019 254 - 266 262 Curiosity To internalize the character values of curiosity the teachers usually created the supportable atmosphere that the students can take an effort to know more depth about material in the teaching learning activity. The teachers also helped the students to understand material deeply and made the students to increase their curious in learning activity. It can be seen on the following utterances: Teacher says:” Open your book please! Can you find the difficult word from the text?”Students answer: “Yes ma‟am”. Teacher says: “Let‟s find the difficult word now! Please one you write the word on the white board!” Students answer: “Yes Ma‟am”. Teacher says: “Okay, now write on the white board the difficult word!” Students answer: “Yes Ma‟am”. Nationalism In the process of learning activities, student have to show the way of thinking, acting ,and loyalty for language, social, culture, economic and politics to support progress of nations. To comprehend the concept of this value, there is an indicator to achieve implement of character education by showing the picture of president, vice president, state symbol in class. In this teaching learning material, the teacher taught about the National Day in Indonesia, so He asked the students to memorize the important date about the national day. Based on this material the students indirectly learned and know about the important date in Indonesia, so they were expected to loyal and love their country and can take the good philosophy and moral value of this National day. Teacher says: “Okay, Now what is national education days?”. Students answer: “Hari pendidikan nasional”. Teacher says: “Okay Good then National awakening days? What is it? If you don‟t know the meaning you can look at the date first”. Students says: “Hari kebangkitan nasional”. Teacher says: “Independence day?”. Students answer: “hari kemerdekaan” Teacher says: “What is Youth Place Day?”. Students answer: “Sumpah Pemuda”. Teacher says: “Now close your book! I will ask some questions with the sentence “when do we celebrate……. (kapan kita memperingati)?” Achievement Respect The concept of character gives student more opportunities to assist with other student in classroom. Two indictors that show the concept of social care are giving empathy for classmate in learning process and also building a situation in harmony each other. Teacher says: “Anyone can help to correct and fix the sentence of fifth group? If you can fix it, I will give you more point later”. Students answer: “We must use helmet in the road”. Teacher says: “Okay now write down on the white board”. Teacher say: “It is good, I will give you point plus. Now we see that it's not simple. After must there must be V1. Okay give applause for your friend.” Communicative Competence One learning activity that supports to develop communicative manner is discussion. In classroom activities, teachers are friendly in interaction with students. The good interaction happens when there is a communication effectively between student and teacher in learning classroom process (Kementrian Pendidikan Nasional, 2010). Communicative is the students' ability to communicate is emphasized through the interaction between teacher and student. The more often this was done; the ability of students to communicate using the right diction will increase. This is shown in the following sentence: Teacher says: “What is your schedule on Tuesday?” Students answer: “BK, and forgot sir”. Teacher says: “Don‟t you remember all schedules?” Students answer: “Not all sir”. Teacher reply: “So, how to know your schedule every day?” Students say; “We see on the paper that we put on the wall in our room”. Teacher says: “Oh like that. It is good” Reading interest/Literacy In classroom activities, students are given opportunity for reading the text book before the class is begun; and sometimes gave the students assignment for their homework so Naelatut Thoyyibah, Rudi Hartono, Dwi Anggani L. Bharati/ EEJ 9 (2) 2019 254 - 266 263 at least they read the book although just answered the assignment. it relates that new curriculum teachers could growth student reading interest, which is at present student less motivated to reading of books. From the evidence, the teacher had stimulated reading habit in class and in home. Teacher says: “Now, look at the textbook page 52. There are some special dates here that you must know and learn. These dates are usually commemorated as National date in our country Indonesia.” Students answer: “Yes sir.” Environmental Care The classroom cleanliness becomes important to build of student aware of environment care. There are two indicators that implementation of character education in aspect of environment care, which is keeping clean classroom environment and there is a trash bin in class. Students say: “ Assalamu‟allaikum wr. Wb”. Teacher answer: “Wassalamu‟allaikum wr. Wb”. Pray together first. If you are not neat yet please tidy up! Use your “hasduk” neatly. Look down if there is trash, please throw it away Students : “Yes sir”. (The students throw the rubbish into the garbage). Teacher says: “Okay sit down please.” Responsibility In the process of learning activity, teachers are responsible to educate students in class, so that students can implement the obligations in learning activity. This shown in following the sentences: Teacher says: “You said that your class is superior class?” Students say: “Yes sir.” Teacher asks the students: "Please do not go outside of the class before the resting time! You can not go outside the class except there are assignments from the teacher or who have permission because all of you must be responsible for your attitude." Students answer: “Yes sir.” Teacher says: “Okay the time is up, the last I say wasalamalamaikum Wr. Wb.” CONCLUSION The teachers had implemented character education in their planning and in the teaching learning process.
