Most Indonesian educators are insufficient to address the importance of educating students about other cultures. This problem emerges as a result of foreign language teachers' lack of understanding of how to incorporate culture into language acquisition, particularly in English. This research aims to investigate culture's representation and examine the culture introduced in Indonesian textbooks for senior high school students who learn English as a foreign language. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with an intercultural perspective, the study systematically analyzes the cultural content and themes present in three Electronic English teaching textbooks: Bahasa Inggris X, Bahasa Inggris IX, and Bahasa Inggris XI revised edition (2017) by Kemdikbud RI. The analysis of the textbooks' contents is conducted using the framework developed by Cortazzi and Jin (1999), specifically focusing on Source Culture, Target Culture, and International Culture. These textbooks were selected as they are widely used in Indonesian senior high schools and are published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. The findings of the study reveal that the dominance of source culture content is significant, while the representation of target culture and international culture is considerably low. Furthermore, among the 19 cultural motifs categorized as Big Culture and Little Culture, the prevalence of Little Culture themes is most notable. The findings of this research shed light on the existing disparity and call for a more comprehensive approach to cultural education in English language learning. By acknowledging the imbalance and addressing the representation of different cultures, educators can better equip students with intercultural competence and foster a deeper understanding of diverse cultural perspectives.

The objective of this study was to investigate the role of information and communication technology (ICT) competence and self-efficacy in promoting autonomous learning. The study involved first-year students enrolled in the English Department at public universities located in Pekanbaru, Riau Province. Participants were required to complete three questionnaires, one for each of the three variables: ICT competence, self-efficacy, and learning autonomy, all in the context of English as a foreign language learning. The questionnaires were administered using a five-level Likert scale. The data collected was then analyzed using descriptive analysis and inferential analysis, specifically employing the regression correlation technique. The results showed that the level of ICT competence, self-efficacy, and learning autonomy of the English Department students are all defined in the “high” level. ICT competence and self-efficacy each contribute positively to learning autonomy, respectively by 21.7 and 43.4 percent. ICT competence and self-efficacy simultaneously have a favorable impact on participants' learning autonomy, contributing up to 45.5 per cent.

Educational policy, technological advancement, and socio-cultural dynamics in Indonesia have made English language learning increasingly complex. Therefore, appropriate strategies are required in selecting teaching methods, assessments, and technology to ensure that the learning process remains effective and adaptive to these changes. This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design to explore the implementation of teaching methods, assessments, and technology in English language learning in Indonesia. Data were collected from six lecturers at a university in Indonesia through onsite and online interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the implementation of English language teaching is influenced by educational policies, cultural factors, and student characteristics. The implementation of the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) policy encourages the use of active learning approaches such as Project-Based Learning (PBL) and cooperative learning, which emphasize learning outcomes. In addition, assessment forms are aligned with the adopted teaching methods, allowing evaluations to better reflect students’ learning processes and achievements. The use of technology also plays a crucial role in providing interactive and flexible learning experiences while facilitating assessment practices. Overall, this study highlights the importance of integrating teaching methods, assessments, and technology within the context of educational policy and local culture. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of more contextual and relevant strategies for English language teaching in Indonesia.
