08/06/2018 00:00:00

The workshop "Cultural Awareness in Curriculum and Material Development" was held on August 4 by the Department of English Education (PBI) of UNIKA Atma Jaya, in collaboration with Fullbright, AMINEF, and Periplus. It was attended by English teachers/instructors and lecturers from various institutions in Jabodetabek.

 

The speakers, Dr. Douglas and Dr. Hidajat, discussed about the importance of incorporating the cultural elements, both the L2 culture and the L2 learners’ native culture, into the ELT materials. The element of culture will make the tasks meaningful and relevant to L2 learners. In addition, it can help to lower down the L2 learners’ anxiety level so that they can learn the target language better.
