Abstract

This study examines how English proficiency is discussed in the #KaburAjaDulu movement on X in Indonesia. Using Critical Discourse Analysis, the study examines 30 public tweets selected through the X Advanced Search feature with the keyword combinations #KaburAjaDulu and bahasa Inggris, English, IELTS, and TOEFL, filtered to top tweets from 2025 to 2026. Data analysis used Van Dijk's three-dimensional model, namely text structure, socio-cognitive representations, and social context. The results show that English is seen as escape capital, meaning it is viewed less as a means of communication and more as a tool for escaping perceived problems in Indonesia. Three main patterns appear, namely English as a requirement for moving abroad, as an investment in a hoped-for future identity, and as a resource that is not equally available across social classes. The study also identifies contrasting perspectives that emphasize the structural barriers and unequal opportunities faced by many individuals. These results suggest that EFL education in Indonesia should focus more on critical language awareness, as social media shapes learners' perceptions of the value of English.

Abstract

English learning materials in Indonesia need to be designed to be more contextual and aligned with students' local culture, so that teaching materials can be more easily understood and increase their participation in learning. Unfortunately, the learning materials that integrate the sub-regions’ cultures, which reflect the provinces in which the learners learn, are infrequently developed. This gap makes it difficult for students to comprehend the materials since it is not related to their daily life experiences and their local regions. Meanwhile, the potential benefits offered by AI are very promising in developing culturally based materials in EFL context. This study aims to investigate the potential of AI in developing cultural context EFL materials. Through a comprehensive literature review, this study analyzed the literatures from the last five years, focusing on the importance of local culture in English learning materials and the potential use of AI in creating English teaching resources. The results showed that integrating local culture through AI addresses the gap between global-context materials and student needs, making learning more relevant and increasing motivation. Nonetheless, challenges such as cultural bias need to be carefully addressed, as AI may reinforce stereotypes and ignore the richness of local cultural diversity, potentially leading to misrepresentation or discrimination. Therefore, educators must be cautious in using AI to ensure that the materials produced accurately and effectively represent local culture.
