This article discusses the representation of local culture in EFL Junior High School textbooks in Indonesia. The two primary objectives of this paper are: 1) to reveal the primary reasons of incorporating local culture in EFL textbooks, and 2) to suggest further implications in responding to the incorporation of local culture in EFL textbooks. The discussion begins with the current EFL context in Indonesia with the emphasis on the considerable changes of the curriculum implementation in the Indonesian context, in which it attempts to reveal the representation of local culture implied within the 2013 curriculum. As its main arguments, this article argues that there are two predominant reasons for representing local culture in the EFL Junior High School textbooks in Indonesia which include promoting the sense of familiarity to Junior High School students in learning English as well as strengthening the aspects of national culture and identity portrayed in the textbooks. Furthermore, this article also discusses the future implications in responding to the representation of local culture in EFL Junior High School textbooks in Indonesia, including the needs to enhance the role of teachers as well as the importance of incorporating more diverse cultural representation in the textbooks.

Such materials may not only present difficulties for learners with low-level of proficiency (Kilickaya, 2004), but also trigger issues related to cultural content (Jayanti & Norahmi, 2014).

“…Such materials may not only present difficulties for learners with low-level of proficiency (Kilickaya, 2004), but also trigger issues related to cultural content (Jayanti & Norahmi, 2014). According to Jayanti and Norahmi (2014), there has been an ongoing debate in Indonesia regarding which cultures and which English varieties should be included in teaching materials. Kirkpatrick (2007) maintains that it is the culture of the Indonesian people and Asian varieties of English which are important to be incorporated into the materials because English has become a lingua franca (ELF) in Asian contexts.…”

“…If students are familiar with the sociocultural issue being discussed and it is related to their lives, it could be argued that the text is authentic because it may engage their interest, leading to authentic interpretations towards the text. However, in relation to varieties of English, choosing Asian varieties might be challenging for teachers because teaching materials for CDA such as, advertisements, posters, and political speech using such varieties may not be widely available due to the native speaker norms that still dominate ELT in Indonesia (Jayanti & Norahmi, 2014).…”

As one of the most important sites in which particular agenda are articulated and disseminated, news media play important roles in reproducing power relations and ideologies. Drawing on Fairclough’s approach of three-dimensional model within the paradigm of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and of the qualitative research, this study aims to identify the ideology enacted in a news article which reports the appointment of Susi Pudjiastuti as the Indonesian minister of maritime affairs and fisheries. It does so by analysing the textual, the discursive, and the social practices of the news discourse. Underpinned by the results of the analysis, this research also investigates the integration of CDA in English classrooms in Indonesia. The results of this study reveal that the patriarchal ideology is enacted in the news through (1) the construction of language use in comparing the qualifications of Susi with Indroyono Soesilo as the coordinating minister for maritime affairs; (2) the use of direct and indirect speech constituted intertextuality; (3) the enquiry of socio-political contexts surrounding the news discourse in relation to women’s participations in politics. Based on these findings and Cot’s framework, this research also attempts to design a reading task using the news article by constructing consciousness-raising questions, so that students can enhance their critical thinking skills and their ability to reveal hidden meanings in discourse. The implications of the research both in the theoretical importance and in the English language teaching are also discussed with reference to intercultural issues.Keywords: critical discourse analysis, news discourse, ideology, patriarchy
