Agustien earned her master’s and doctorate degrees in applied linguis- tics from Macquarie University, Sydney, where she develops a special interest in discourse analysis. Her systemic functional linguistic background has the founda- tion of her doctorate research as well as her subsequent works. Based on this lin- guistic theory, she developed the national English curriculum in Indonesia known as Competence-Based Curriculum in 2004. The competence standards are now used as the basis for the School-Based Curriculum offi cially launched in 2006.
