Following the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, Japanese language education at the high school / vocational level (SMA / SMK) in Bali faces a significant challenge. The lack of thorough understanding and communication caused the teachers to feel that the Merdeka Curriculum was less friendly to the Japanese language class hours in their schools. This article aims to describe the problems encountered in SMA / SMK in Bali related to Japanese language education not only in terms of policies in the form of the curriculum but also from the side of schools, teachers, and students. The data collection method uses a google survey form followed by an unstructured interview. The study in this article is included in the qualitative grounded theory research. Based on the research results, the problems faced by Japanese language education in SMA / SMK in Bali can be grouped into four categories: curriculum in SMA / SMK, school support, teacher ability, and student enthusiasm. It requires a correct understanding of the Merdeka Curriculum and good communication with policymakers in schools in order to overcome the problems faced.

Banyak ungkapan terkenal di masyarakat yang asal-usulnya kurang diketahui oleh publik, padahal ungkapan itu berasal dari karya seni seperti lagu atau karya sastra. Ungkapan-ungkapan seperti “jaen hidup di Bali” (enak hidup di Bali), “sakadi ngurug pasih” (ibarat menimbun samudera), “gede ombak gede angin” (ombak besar angin kencang), dan “tresnane ajur lebur satonden kembang” (kasih layu sebelum berkembang) adalah ekspresi kearifan lokal Bali yang bisa dirunut jejaknya lewat karya sastra. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendulang, menggali, mengumpulkan, dan menganalisis kata-kata mutiara yang terkandung dalam sastra Bali modern. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis dengan intertekstualitas untuk melihat hubungan antara ungkapan dalam sastra dan dalam sumber lainnya serta perbedaan makna kontekstualnya. Hasil analisis menunjukkan ada tujuh jenis kata-kata mutiara yang banyak muncul dalam karya sastra Bali modern, yaitu sesonggan (pepatah), sesawangan (perumpamaan), seloka (bidal), wawangsalan, sesimbing, peparikan, dan bladbadan. Dari ketujuh bentuk itu, sesonggan (pepatah) yang paling banyak muncul karena paling efektif untuk menyampaikan ungkapan secara tidak langsung.
