Abstract

The present research aims to explore English teachers’ perception of intercultural competence in English language teaching at one of the Islamic schools in Lombok, Indonesia. Cultural categories and aspects were analyzed using Cortazzi and Jin’s category of culture and Byram’s checklist of cultural aspects. This qualitative case study employed observation, textbook analysis, and interviews to gain the primary data. Three English teachers were involved in an in-depth interview. The findings revealed that the teachers positively perceive intercultural competence in ELT. Furthermore, local culture was still dominant in the textbook and the teachers confirmed that local culture exposure was pivotal for students as they might be able to introduce the cultural content or products to foreigners. In terms of cultural aspects, the teachers recommended food and historical or famous places that should be recognized by the students to enhance intercultural competence. It is suggested that English teachers should introduce cross-cultural values toward intercultural competence to the students.

Abstract

In real-life conversation, listening and speaking skills coexist and are not mutually conflicting. However, studies about the integration of listening and speaking in the classroom are still rare. Hence, this study aims to investigate how teachers integrate listening and speaking to develop students' communicative competence and the challenges teachers face during the English learning process. The study uses a qualitative case study with four English teachers. Data is collected through observations and interviews. The findings indicate that the teachers familiarize students with listening to various English audio daily since the students stay in a dormitory. In the classroom, the teachers often use conversation audio while the students are asked to follow along with the audio script. Then, two students are asked to come forward and practice with a partner. Students are also given tasks to create short conversations with their friends based on the themes learned from the audio played by the teachers. This integration of listening and speaking activities is expected to help students develop their communicative competence. Some challenges that often arise include students feeling embarrassed to practice in front of their peers and teachers paying less attention to students seated in the back, leading to disengagement during the audio sessions. However, this study suggests that teachers provide more control, motivation, and a sense of comfort for students to address these challenges.
