Abstract

With an eye towards Aisha, an exchange student negotiating British table etiquette at a traditional Sunday roast, this research investigates the evolution of cultural intelligence via a narrative text called “Sunday Roast and Silent Guidelines”. With the four-dimensional Cultural Intelligence (CQ) framework namely cognitive, metacognitive, motivating, and behavioral which the study follows Aisha's acquisition of fresh cultural knowledge, considers past presumptions, modifies her behavior, and maintains curiosity in the face of uncertainty. Based on the results, especially in educational environments, personal stories seem to be low-risk yet powerful instruments for improving intercultural competency. Emotionally interesting events enable students to find underlying cultural values and react correctly to foreign social signals. This paper supports the use of narrative-based techniques in English and multicultural classes. These tales not only raise understanding of different cultures but also help pupils to be more flexible and sympathetic-qualities that are vital in a society going global. Moreover, narrative books let students absorb multicultural lessons by means of relevant characters and scenarios. Seeing Aisha's quiet learning approach helps teachers to better grasp how their students view cross-cultural encounters. In the end, this method promotes critical thinking and gets students ready for significant participation in many cultural settings.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the application of socio-constructivism theory in language learning at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Almatera. Socioconstructivism theory emphasizes that language learning occurs through social interaction and meaningful experiences. This study used interviews and observations of two English teachers at the madrasah to identify the learning practices that have been implemented. The results showed that the group discussion-based approach, problem-based projects, and various learning media have created a collaborative and effective learning environment. However, there are several obstacles such as limited resources and the need for ongoing teacher training. This article recommends forming a professional learning community, an inclusive approach, and using technology to improve the quality of language learning at this madrasah.
