Abstract

This study explores lecturers' perceptions of integrating local cultural values into English teaching materials. The research aims to examine how cultural elements are utilized to enhance student engagement, foster critical thinking, and preserve local heritage while teaching English. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to 6 lecturers from English Education Study Program of UKI Toraja. The findings reveal that lecturers perceive the integration of local culture as a significant pedagogical tool. A majority believe that it enhances the relevance of learning materials, creates a more inclusive classroom environment, and promotes cultural awareness among students. Additionally, incorporating cultural values is seen as a way to bridge local and global perspectives, encouraging character building and fostering values such as tolerance and empathy. This study underscores the importance of cultural integration in language education, emphasizing its potential to provide both linguistic and cultural benefits. The findings highlight the lecturers' commitment to holistic education that balances the preservation of local identity with the demands of global communication.

Abstract

This study aims to identify common pronunciation errors among students in tourism-based schools in Toraja, Indonesia, and assess the potential application of English Speaking Management (ESM) methods as a structured approach to improve pronunciation. With the growing importance of English proficiency in the tourism sector, especially in regions like Toraja, improving pronunciation is crucial for enhancing communication with international visitors. Using a qualitative-collaborative research approach, data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with 15 teachers and 30 students. The study revealed that phonemic errors, stress misplacement, and difficulties with consonant clusters were prevalent among students. The implementation of ESM methods, including drilling, role play, and technology integration, showed significant improvements in pronunciation accuracy and students’ speaking confidence. The findings support the potential of ESM as a useful tool in addressing pronunciation challenges and enhancing language learning in tourism-focused educational settings. This research aligns with national agendas to improve education quality and supports SDG goals 4 (Quality Education) and 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).
