Summary
The issue of character education has been a global matter in the education setting. As what had been reported by Harrison, Morris, Ryan (2016), the issues of character education have emerged in the UK, US, India, China, Taiwan, Canada, Korea, Australia, and Malaysia. In the fast-paced, ever changing society in which Indonesian live, where children bring guns to school, hate crimes are committed daily, and the suicide rate is rising, character education is essential. Multicultural character education will help create stronger individuals, but stronger societies. Throughout history educators have used English to teach multicultural character education effectively. The national education framework in UU RI Nomor 20 Tahun 2003 states that education is objected to develop the students’ potency to be faithful and pious men as well as having precious character, healthy, clever, creative, learned, becoming democratic, and responsible citizens. In the implementation of formal education, the optimizing of this objective is formulated with basic competences packed in “Curriculum Based Competence” which is prevalently known as KBK (Kurikulum Berbasis Kompetensi)
