A Study to Explore the Culture/s Taught in EFL Classrooms

Nurhaeni Nurhaeni (University of Limerick, Ireland)

 

Abstract

In this research, I aim to investigate teachers’ perspectives on teaching culture/s in Indonesian EFL classrooms and the underlying influences. My exploration will include teachers' perspectives, teachers' practices, and teachers' training in relation to teaching culture in EFL classrooms. I will apply a mixed-methods approach in this research, integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative approach is represented by a survey that provides a statistical account for this research. Meanwhile, I will conduct the qualitative approach through in-depth interviews that I expect will provide a more comprehensive individual perspective regarding the topics. I expect this research will add knowledge to the area of teaching culture in EFL classrooms and provide empirical data on current practices of teaching culture in EFL classrooms in Indonesia.
