One of the common perplexities of EFL teaching in Indonesia is concerned with the meagerness of the learners’ understanding about the cultural and socio-pragmatic aspects of the target language. This study, therefore, is an attempt to look at how such a perceptive can contribute to better EFL classroom practices and, in turn, augments the learners’ communicative and interactional skills in the target language. In particular, the study aims to examine socio-cultural and pragmatic potential differences between Australian English (AE) and Bahasa Indonesia (BI), especially in realizing the speech acts of apologies, and ultimately sees how the results can be used as an essential insight into EFL teaching methodological and curriculum developments. Based on oral DCT data from 24 native speakers Bahasa Indonesia and Australian English, the results of the study are expected to stress out the importance of incorporating socio-cultural and pragmatic values in Indonesian EFL teaching practices.
