Topik: Blended Culture English Language Teaching Matrix Culture Fulltext: hal 315.pdf (11.0MB) Isi artikel In English language teaching in Indonesia, English teachers are encouraged to utilize some teaching models one of which is a blended culture model. This model confers some convincing justification to second language learners because it can facilitate them to maximally gain the target language. Also, the use of a blended culture model in ELT can be employed as a means of establishing students’ intercultural awareness and cultural appreciation. This suggests that the inclusion of target and local culture is advocated to be executed in the process of ELT. To do so, English teachers may select English materials which are generated from the target culture and local culture depending on the types of the macro-language skills that they need to focus on. For example, when they give an emphasis on teaching receptive skills, the target culture can be the matrix culture which is used to explore much information from English speaking countries. Conversely, when they deal with teaching productive skills, the local culture context of the second language learners should become the matrix culture because having the local culture context serving as the matrix culture can facilitate second language learners to easily generate their ideas. Such a way is fruitful to establish their sensitivity of the cultural diversity which is required in the global life. In reference to the issue, this paper attempts to theoretically justify the strengths of the application of the blended culture and to clearly provide examples of how to utilize the blended culture model in ELT.
