INCORPORATING CULTURE INTO FOREIGN LANGUAGE CURRICULUM AND MATERIALS Effendy Gultom Department of English Language Teaching, Riau University, Pekanbaru, Indonesia effendygultom@gmail.com     Abstract: Language is a part of culture. Therefore, it is important to incorporate culture into language teaching in general and into foreign language teaching in particular. Consequently, we need to incorporate culture into foreign language curriculum and materials.  In Indonesia, English is taught as a foreign language because it is not used in daily communication. However, in reality we observe that many students in Indonesia do not understand the English culture although they learn the language. For example, we often hear students asking questions that are not culturally acceptable in English context such as asking about a woman’s age, asking about someone’s salary, and asking about the prices of someone’s clothes and shoes. Many other expressions are not suitable for the occasions where they are used. This condition is probably caused by the curriculum and materials that have not incorporated English culture into the English language teaching. English teachers need to have adequate knowledge concerning with English culture if they want to be successful in their teaching. They should acquaint themselves with the specific customs and habits of the English people and they should try to be sympathetic to English culture as well. Knowledge about English culture is particularly needed when people want to visit England, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States of America. Without having knowledge about English culture, people will probably experience some culture shock when they visit those countries.   Keywords:  incorporating, culture, curriculum

They are an advertisement, announcement, and descriptive  text in the form of an article taken from a High End Teen magazine. Second, there are four types of students’ positive attitudes towards the implementation of authentic materials. Those are the students’ willingness to own the materials, the students’ willingness to use the authentic materials in the next meetings, the students’ preferences to use the original form of authentic materials instead of the copied materials, and the students’ willingness to comment about the topics and the pictures of the authentic materials. Third, there are quantitative and qualitative data related to the improvement of the students’ reading interest.

Abstract

TEACHING READING FOR YOUNG LEARNERS IN EFL CONTEXT Lingga Agustina Suganda English Education Study Program, FKIP, Sriwijaya University linggasuganda@gmail.com Abstract: All young children are highly motivated to learn language. Millions of EFL children are learning reading as part of learning English, and thousands of EFL teachers are searching for an approach to teaching reading that will work most effectively. The concern of this paper is finding the effective way of teaching reading to young learners in EFL context. The content of children’s literature can motivate the interest of students to learn a new language. Good, effective, and suitable approaches are for helping the students in their development. However, there is no one best approach to teaching reading, because one that works for one child may not work at all for another child. Good teachers have to recognize that children learn in different ways and require different strategies. Teachers need to draw on ideas from a number of different approaches and add ideas that come from their own experience. Therefore, the role of the parent or teacher in supporting reading progress is crucial. In conclusion, there are three important points for children reading success, namely: (1) innovative and suitable approach, (2) effective material, and (3) parents or teachers’ role. All these three elements are critical in order to teach all kids to read. Keywords: Reading, young learners, approach, children’s literature, teachers and parents’ role.
