“…Based on the data analysis, which has been explained in the previous section, it is known that the English students at IAIN Bukittinggi who have taken storytelling classes and English students at UIN Imam Bonjol who have joined extra activities in their English student's association English Education study program have argued that they can develop their sociocultural competence through storytelling. It is in line with the theory proposed by Stanley and Dillingham (2009) that has said storytelling does not only help students to improve their speaking ability through retelling the story but also helps them to develop their sociocultural competence by noticing the values in the story (Stanley & Dillingham, 2009;Tural & Cubukcu, 2021).…”

They state that they are good in these five elements; (1) students’ attitude toward sociocultural competence, (2) students’ knowledge of sociocultural competence, (3) students’ ability to interpret and relate cultural issues, (4) students’ ability in discovery and interaction, and (5) students’ ability of critical cultural awareness. Thus, it can be stated that storytelling is a good technique that can be used to develop students’ sociocultural competence based on students’ perceptions.

Culture shocks, miscommunications, and even conflict will occur due to a lack of intercultural communication skills. Effective communication with native speakers requires language abilities, cultural awareness, and familiarity with local customs. Several studies on intercultural relationships have been documented. However, there is still limited research on the levels that affect intercultural awareness. This study aims to examine the intercultural awareness of pre-service teachers. This study aims to investigate the levels that affect intercultural awareness among aspiring pre-service teachers participating in an international teaching practicum (ITP). The design used a qualitative multiple-case study. Interviews with eight aspiring English pre-service teachers from Indonesia were conducted to collect data. The results show that the majority of participants agreed that during an international teaching practicum program, they gained the ability to compare and mediate cultural differences and similarities. Indonesian pre-service teachers being investigated had good intercultural awareness. The findings suggest important practical implications for providing students with sufficient references to assist pre-service teachers in enhancing and developing their intercultural teaching abilities.
