Abstract

In Indonesia, exposure to the English language is primarily mediated through the use of English textbooks. What cultural knowledge and whose culture are represented in these textbooks become a critical issue because culture interweaves both language and thought. With this in mind, this study aims to examine how Indonesian cultural diversity and whose cultures are represented in middle school English textbooks. We argue that diversity and multicultural perspectives represented in these textbooks are the core of English language learning and teaching. We also contend that language textbooks play a pivotal role in the acquisition of both linguistic and cultural knowledge of English. Drawing on Kress and Van Leeuwen’s (2006) semiotic approach to analyzing textual and non-textual representations of cultures, we found that the 2013 English textbooks for Grades 7 and 8 permeate Indonesian cultural values and practices that do not provide a balanced and equal depiction of Indonesian cultural diversity. The findings suggest the importance of inclusive representation of the richness of Indonesian local culture in a more salient manner, especially those of minority groups. Pedagogically, teachers are expected to design language materials with cultural sensitivity and appropriation for the inclusiveness of other cultural values that might not be covered in the textbooks.

Abstract

The growing prominence of translanguaging has significantly influenced English Language Teaching (ELT) in classrooms over the past few decades. As a pedagogical tool, translanguaging can support teachers in facilitating ELT. However, its application in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context is often met with skepticism. This research seeks to explore teachers’ and students’ perspectives on the use of translanguaging as a pedagogical tool to enhance ELT in Indonesia. Employing a case study approach, the study gathered in-depth insights through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and interviews with ten students and six teachers from SMPN 1 Buduran and MTsN 2 Sidoarjo. The findings highlight that teachers view translanguaging as a valuable tool for scaffolding concept explanations, boosting student engagement and communication, managing classrooms, supporting learners with lower English proficiency, and creating a more comfortable and supportive learning environment. Similarly, students perceive translanguaging as a helpful strategy to improve their understanding of lesson content, facilitate peer communication, and build confidence in expressing their ideas. The study contributes to the growing body of research on translanguaging by offering empirical evidence from the Indonesian EFL context, underscoring its potential to bridge linguistic gaps and promote more inclusive, effective English language instruction.

Abstract

Idioms are a component of a word group or a sentence that incorporates two or more words with a meaning that contrasts with their literal meaning. Additionally, idioms are an excellent way to enhance sentences. This study examines types of idiomatic expressions in Emily Dickinson's Selected Poems and their relevance to K-13 basic competence for High School eleventh grade. This study employed qualitative research to examine types of idiomatic expressions in Emily Dickinson’s “Emily Dickinson Selected Poems” using checklist tables as an instrument. The findings revealed that there are 45 Dickinson poems, focusing on life, love, nature, special abilities, and friendship, and identified five poems containing idiomatic expressions. These expressions can be authentic materials for English Language Teaching in Indonesian high schools. This study concludes that Dickinson’s book is authentic material for teaching English in senior high schools. The researcher suggests using the findings for teaching English in senior high schools, improving students’ understanding of idiomatic expressions, and analyzing idiomatic expressions in other authentic materials.
