Mixed classes of students rely on the activities based on the needs of the regular students and the special-needs students follow the system. However, in some cases there would a mixed approach that paid special attention on the needs of the special-needs students, in this case, autistics students. Intercultural competence in this studyrefers to the ability to ensure a shared understanding between people as complex human beings with multiple identities, and their own individuality (Byram, Gribkova& Starkey, 2002). The textbook used in the teaching learning process is“New Fun and Happy with English Book 5”(Iragiliati, 2006, 2013), and the animation video, “Come, Speak Up and Tell Us” (Sari, 2015). Pedersen (2011) pointed out on the importance of using animation for speaking activities. The research question is as follows:How aremixed students’ preferences of intercultural competenceassessment tool, textbook exercises or animation video? The subject of this study wastwenty-six (26) male and female mixed fifth grader students of SDN Kebonsari V Jember. The mixed class consisted of thirteen (11) regular male students and thirteen (12)regular female students, andtwo (2)special-needs male students and one (1)special-needs female student. The instruments used in this studywerepre-class observation,post-class observation, students’ observation sheet, and questionnaire. The result of this research showeda preferredassessment tool of using animation video rather than exercises in the EYL book by mixed-class students. Thus, the teaching learning process based on intercultural competence should be based on open minded way of thinking for the mixed class, a subtle mixture of textbook materials and animation video as an assessment tool for a mixed class.
