Abstract

The English textbook is not only about the language but also brings the culture. Sometimes the culture in the textbook is only from the western countries, so the students do not know much about their own culture. This study discusses the cultural representation in English textbooks that are used in Indonesian schools. The study used a qualitative method with content analysis. The data were three English textbooks. The result shows that the culture in the textbooks is dominated by the target culture and the local culture is still small, and also the tasks only ask the students to identify the culture and not to compare it. Therefore the textbook writers should give more portion to the local culture.

Abstract

In a multilingual school the students usually speak more than one language, for example the local language at home and the national language at school. Sometimes the students feel that their local language is not important. This article discusses language attitudes among students in multilingual educational settings. The method used is literature review. The result shows that the attitude of the students is influenced by the school policy, the teacher, and also the family. If the local language is not used at school the students will think that it is not useful. Therefore the school should give more space for all the languages of the students.

Abstract

In the usual classroom the teacher explains and then gives homework, so the time in the class is used only for explanation. In the flipped classroom it is the opposite, the students watch the video at home and in the class they practice. This article discusses the implementation and the outcomes of the flipped classroom model in English language teaching. The method used is literature review from many journals. The result shows that the flipped classroom can make the students more active and they have more time to speak and to write in the class. But there are also problems, for example the students do not watch the video, the internet is not good, and the video is too long. Therefore the teacher must make the video short and must check whether the students have watched it or not.
