Abstract

This study explores how the integration of Torajan cultural elements into English language learning materials can enhance language acquisition and students’ understanding of local culture. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through observations and interviews with lecturers and students from the English Department. The findings reveal that the integration of Torajan culture in the classroom is achieved through curriculum adaptation, context-based approaches, and creative projects. Specific cultural elements included folklore (e.g., ulelean pare), traditional arts, dances, rituals, culinary heritage, traditional clothing, and everyday life in Toraja society. The study shows that embedding these cultural components had a highly positive and significant impact on students’ comprehension. It fostered greater engagement and motivation, improved language proficiency, deepened cultural awareness, and encouraged an appreciation for cultural diversity and multiculturalism. Additionally, the integration allowed students to form emotional connections with learning materials and strengthened their critical thinking, evaluative, and reflective skills. These findings suggest that the application of local cultural content not only enriches language learning but also contributes to students’ holistic development as culturally aware and globally competent individual.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Torajan local wisdom into instruction to enhance students’ cross-cultural understanding. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, cultural practices such as Rambu Solo’, Rambu Tuka’, Tongkonan symbolism, and proverbs were embedded into teaching strategies. Data were analyzed to examine the effectiveness of these integrations in fostering intercultural competence. The findings indicate that incorporating Torajan local wisdom strengthens cultural identity, enhances intercultural communicative competence, and promotes empathy and respect for diversity. Effective pedagogical strategies include comparative cultural analysis, project-based learning, role-play, and reflective discussion. However, challenges remain, including the risk of cultural misinterpretation and teachers’ limited cultural literacy. The study concludes that embedding indigenous knowledge in classroom practices supports culturally responsive pedagogy and contributes to preparing globally competent learners

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of local culture-based learning media, specifically grounded in Toraja culture, within multilingual English classrooms at Universitas Kristen Indonesia Toraja. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, document analysis, and in-depth interviews with English lecturers who actively integrate Torajan cultural elements—such as traditional narratives, rituals, and symbolism—into English language instruction. The findings reveal that such integration fosters culturally responsive instructional strategies, enhances student engagement, supports linguistic and intercultural competence, and affirms learners’ cultural identities. Lesson materials and teaching practices proved a successful bridging of content knowledge and cultural relevance, making English learning more accessible and meaningful. While the approach yielded clear pedagogical benefits, it also highlighted challenges including limited access to culturally adapted materials and the need for institutional support. The study concludes that with proper structural backing, the integration of local cultural media has transformative potential for inclusive, identity-affirming language education in multilingual contexts.
