This study uses the literature study method. Law No. 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System in Article 3 which states that national education functions to develop capabilities and form dignified national character and civilization in order to educate the life of the nation. In accordance with the functions and objectives of national education, in order to achieve these objectives education must be obtained by every generation of the nation and carried out thoroughly at every level of education. In addition to learning devices and school facilities, teachers are an important element in achieving character education success. Generally, in the process of learning English, often teachers only pay attention to cognitive aspects only and tend to ignore other aspects such as affective, and psychomotor aspects. In order to improve the quality and suitability of character education for each pathway, level, and type of education unit, the Ministry of National Education has designed and developed Grand Design which is a conceptual and operational reference for the development, implementation and assessment of character education. Character configurations in the context of the totality of psychological and socio-cultural processes are grouped in: spiritual and emotional development, intellectual development, sports and kinesthetic (physical and kinesthetic development), and feeling and intention (affective). and creativity development).
