An Exploration Of Local Culture In English Classroom Practices Through Project Based Learning

Abstract

Interesting aspects from the cultural experience, lifestyle, tourism, habit, and food from Indonesian customs were part of the projects for the students in this study to express in English. For instance, we assigned the students to find information about any culture in Indonesia that they think is unique. They designed a project to describe the uniqueness of people, things, and places. By implementing them in the project, the students could pleasantly learn English and motivate them to speak in English as we ask them to present their group’s findings at the end of the project
