Abstract

English has become a language spread all over the world. The sociolinguistic facts show that various variations of English arise due to local language and cultural contact. In the context of English language learning in a country that uses English as a foreign language, it is still believed that English teachers in schools teach standard English namely British Received Pronunciation and Standard American English. However, this condition needs to be questioned whether the English teachers actually use standard English or whether they use a certain English variation. The purpose of this study is to describe the English language used by teachers in syntax. Several English teachers who taught in high school in Padang became participants in this study. The results of this study show that the English teachers have a syntactic difference with the English standard English and British English. The results of this study can provide information on teaching English in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the representation of cultural products in English language learning materials as depicted in narrative texts for Indonesian high school students. To this end, the design of this study employed qualitative content analysis to know how cultural products are represented in narrative texts for Indonesian high school students. Initially, the narrative texts were collected from the English learning materials which were compiled and used in the teaching and learning process by the English teachers. The data of this study was gathered through document review and then coded within the analysis process. The findings of this study revealed that cultural products as depicted in those narrative texts represent the category of places, followed by artifacts and institutions. However, the category of art form has not been identified yet. These findings indicate that the cultural products have not been widely represented in the learning materials. In addition, the teacher-selected narrative texts still only showed Indonesian local cultures while their students needed to know other target cultures from around the world. This study suggests that teachers should include more cultural learning in their learning materials to build student’s knowledge and awareness of culture.
