Abstract

  While an extensive body of research has focused on examining and discussing how intercultural values are integrated into English Language Teaching (ELT) materials, little is known about how individual teachers select and develop intercultural content. The present study aimed at exploring an Indonesian EFL teacher’s perspective in selecting and developing intercultural content for classroom instruction. The participant was an English teacher in a state high school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia with more than 10 years of teaching experience. The data from in-depth interviews and the participant’s teaching artifacts were analyzed thematically to point out the participant’s perspective based on multiple aspects. The findings indicated that the participant’s selection and development of intercultural content involved various aspects, including the participant’s beliefs and values, the students, curricular requirements, and influence from colleagues. This study provides an insight into the practical implementation of intercultural value integration into English language instruction in Indonesia.
