Abstract

Cultural components or elements in textbooks are essential in supporting intercultural competence. By providing textbooks with text containing cultural elements and cross-cultural competence, a language learner is not only prepared linguistically but also culturally. Some English textbooks in Indonesia emphasize cultural and intercultural competence to support their content, as proficiency in English requires intercultural competence. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze cultural and intercultural competence in a textbook. A descriptive qualitative method and content analysis technique are used in this research. The theories used to analyze the textbook are Xiao's, Cortazzi and Jin's, and Byram's theories. The textbook analyzed is an English textbook entitled “Bahasa Inggris” 2018 grade XII issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia. This research shows that there are cultural contents depicted in several cultural themes, they are Big “C” and little “c” culture, by using Xiao’s theory. Then, by using Cortazzi and Jin’s theory, they represent 3 types of culture, namely source culture/local culture, target culture, and international culture. According to Bryram’s theory, intercultural competence has been found in the form of pictures, texts, and tasks. This competence includes knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The display of cultural themes in the textbook dominates. The results of intercultural competence showed that the skills category dominates, but critical cultural awareness is not found. The cultural contents represented in the textbook mostly adopt Indonesian local culture, and the textbook has met the competence categories required by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, even though it has not met the intercultural competence category conceptualized by Byram because of the absence of critical awareness category on task material in the textbook.

This textbook is still much used at SMP or MTs although it was published a couple years ago.

Abstract

This study explores the application of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) method in teaching English to children aged 5–7 years in kindergartens across Indonesia and Malaysia. A qualitative approach was adopted, incorporating observation, interviews, and document analysis to investigate how the CTL method enhances children’s English language proficiency. Teachers implemented hands on activities, including conversations, daily instructions, and engaging tasks such as singing, shared reading, and project-based activities. The approach involved providing children with English storybooks and videos, delivering materials engagingly and enjoyably, and emphasizing a student-centered learning environment. Key strategies employed by teachers included establishing interconnected meanings, promoting conceptual understanding through real-life relevance, fostering group collaboration, and facilitating knowledge transfer to new contexts. Results revealed that 50 children were proficient in English speaking before using the CTL method, while 75 exhibited limited proficiency. After implementing the CTL method, the number of proficient children increased to 95, while those with limited proficiency decreased to 30. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the CTL method in improving children’s English-speaking skills. The study concludes that employing the CTL method through a qualitative approach significantly enhances early childhood English proficiency by incorporating contextual, enjoyable, and relevant learning experiences aligned with young learners’ daily lives.
