Abstract

This paper presents a study on the development of Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ intercultural capability in an overseas study program and its impacts on classroom English Language teaching practices. By using narrative inquiry as a research methodology, this study draws on the stories of two Indonesian EFL teachers’ experiences of intercultural learning during the master's degree program overseas. Data were gathered through semi-structured individual interviews with Indonesian EFL teachers who have completed Master of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) studies in Australia. Findings show that communication and cultural disequilibrium in an overseas study program plays a crucial role in the development of EFL teachers’ intercultural capability to enable them to develop their attributes from ethnocentrism to ethnorelativism. The findings also reveal that although the teachers become interculturally capable, the overseas study program does not necessarily contribute to their oral English skill development. As a further result, this study reveals that the development of the teachers’ intercultural capability affects their subsequent classroom English teaching practices in a way that they begin to employ dialogical communication and interaction by reflecting on their past experiences.

Abstract

Polemic about the government’s attendance at celebrity weddings during COVID-19 caused various negative responses, particularly in online news. The present research aims at identifying the text dimension representing news about the government’s attendance polemic at a celebrity wedding in The Jakarta Post and Tempo.co English. The qualitative method is employed to analyze two articles entitled “The wedding that Sparked a Backlash” and “State Secretariat Blasted for Posting Jokowi’s Celebrity Wedding Attendance” using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (2010) as the theoretical approach. Simak (observation) method is used to collect the data and padan (identity) method is used to analyze the data by Sudaryanto (2015). The results showed that The Jakarta Post is more neutral in representing the polemic of government presence since it contains views from four parties. Meanwhile, Tempo.co English tends to elicit a negative impression of the government as it includes information from a one-sided view. However, both online news represents similar political ideology since it highlights the political purpose of the government’s existence at celebrity weddings.
