Students of Indonesia learn English as a foreign language and it is natural to find them not so comfortable. Most of them are shy to speak English and the main reason for it is the huge gap which they feel when they talk to students having a reasonably good command over the English Language or listen to their peer group speaking fluently. The average and weak students should get lot of encouragement to build confidence. The confidence can be built if they can share what they really know. What do they know more than the others? The answer is their own culture. Here cultural studies is offered to the teachers teaching speaking class. Freeman & Freeman (1994) states that Culture studies is studies in which the students share information about their cultural history. The function is to give information about different culture that the students have. It is profitable for students to work in pairs or small groups so that they can compare and contrast cultural norms. By applying this strategy, students can raise their speaking skill and improve their knowledge about other cultures. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
