Cultural Awareness Section Sample Clauses

Cultural Awareness Section. There are seven features of cultural awareness in this book comprising giving suggestion, suggestion box, RSVP, passive voice, personal letter, interpersonal language and Xxxxx Xxx’s brief story. However, the researchers evaluated only three main features (suggestion box, RSVP, and interpersonal language). The textbook presented the cultural awareness to the students as a medium to emphasize the importance of cultural awareness when learning a language that language classroom and cultural awareness are one solid package (Ghafor, 2020). At this point, the authors implied that the teacher could stimulate students’ knowledge about their own culture by asking the same situation in their own culture.

In addition, the teacher could ask the students about the wedding party in Indonesia. It is demanded that the students will share their experience in attending a wedding party. Another issue that could arise as a topic of discussion from the book is giving suggestions. Teacher could ask the students about how Indonesian people give suggestions to their peers. Perhaps, some of the answers will lead to a communal value in which the people who believe this idea will avoid social conflicts. It will affect the people in giving suggestions which are mostly indirect or in a soften way so that the person who asks for the suggestion will not feel offended. Compared to western people who are mostly individualistic, they tend to give or share their honest opinions with logical reasons so that the person who asks for the suggestion would not feel offended or insecure.
