Abstract

This study aims to explore how Social Subjects shaped students’ perspectives and behaviors toward foreign cultures at the Muslim Santitham Foundation School in Southern Thailand. The research also identifies factors that challengestudents' engagement with foreign cultures and explains the role of Social Subjects as a space for cross-cultural interaction. Data were collected using a qualitative approach through participatory observation and interviews over a a one-month period period. The results show that the students do not intentionally reject foreign cultures. Instead, their cautious behaviour is shaped by long-term social habits in a homogeneous environment where local cultural values are strongly rooted, limited interaction with foreign actors that leads to low confidence in using foreign languages, and less interactive teaching methods that influence their ways of thinking and acting. However, the presence of foreign assistant teachers in Social Subjects created a new social arena that encouraged active participation and direct, meaningful interaction. It helped students understand things that had previously seemed distant in their daily lives. This study highlights the importance of Social Subjects not only as a subject of theoretical knowledge but also as a learning space for developing students’ social openness while maintaining their original cultural identity.
