“…Culture is also characterized by a number of variations of other languages, some of which are accent, dialect, argot, and slang. Human culture with all its complexities will not develop and cannot be thought of without the help of language (Lomotey & Csajbok-Twerefou, 2021). The concept of a symbiotic relationship between culture and language is that as long as languages have different ways of symbolizing an objective experience, language users tend to select and differentiate experiences differently according to the categories that exist in their respective languages (Hassan, 2014).…”

Since 2021 the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology has launched the Independent Student Exchange program as part of the Merdeka Campus Program. The Independent Student Exchange Program began to open online registration in June 2021, and has now entered the program implementation stage. One of the main goals of the Independent Student Exchange Program is to explore and get to know the cultural diversity of the archipelago and make friends with fellow students from different cultural backgrounds. This study aims to analyze aspects of intercultural communication that occur in the implementation of the Independent Student Exchange Program, such as how cultural interactions among students, how each student displays their cultural identity, and how to adapt to fellow students. This research uses a qualitative approach, an exploratory paradigm, in a case study perspective. The data collection process was carried out under natural conditions in the form of observation, in-depth interviews and documentation studies. This study concludes that although there are many differences in cultural backgrounds, students try to adapt to their peers who have different cultural backgrounds. The main obstacle in intercultural communication is the language barrier, because even though both speak Indonesian, the influence of local languages is still very strong, so sometimes the same vocabulary has different meanings and meanings. The results of the study also found several cases related to stereotypes against certain ethnic groups, the existence of ethnocentrism among program participants and various difficulties in adapting to fellow program participants.

The educator of the EFL context, particularly at lower secondary school, attempts to design the teaching material which is oriented to enrich the students’ vocabulary acquisition. The research discovers that various ways can be used to build students’ vocabulary. One of them is literature. Therefore, this research aims to investigate can English literary works be integrated with the teaching strategies to develop the EFL students’ vocabulary. To observe it, the researchers use library research to find and analyze some sources (e.g. articles, proceedings, books) as the collected data, which discuss enriching English vocabulary through literature. The result shows that two things must be considered if teachers would like to incorporate literary works in their content. 1) Types of literary works used by teachers to enhance their learners’ vocabulary, 2) Teacher’s teaching strategy to make the EFL learners memorize the unrecognize words.

“…The conversation can be analyzed using a pragmatic approach. Besides that, one of the most important things in pragmatic interpretation of conversation, the concept that connects the meaning of conversation with context is the concept of a speech act (Haselow, 2021;Lomotey & Csajbok-Twerefou, 2021).…”
