Abstract

Being a foreign language and an intercultural educator in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context is full of complexities. With diverse sociocultural aspects in a context, it would be naïve to implement a set of global profile of culture to all contexts. Therefore, the present study is held to start to investigate complexities on teacher individual level in the implementation of intercultural approach to EFL in Indonesian context. The study strives to interlink between the teacher belief and the characteristics of an intercultural teacher to indicate a teacher personal positioning toward the intercultural pedagogy. Through the method of narrative inquiry and narrative analysis, the teachers’ narratives were collected by interviews and scrutinised. The study revealed that ambivalence and contradiction appeared in the teachers’ beliefs about intercultural pedagogy. It has premises that a teacher’s positioning is affected by learning and teaching experiences, professional development, and personal experiences. Teaching context plays a central role in shaping the practices. The results show capacity building must be advocated and the identical studies must be replicated focusing on how a teacher develops intercultural communicative competence in order to bring quality of intercultural EFL pedagogy in Indonesia.

Abstract

The present study analyses teacher narratives related to teacher belief toward intercultural EFL pedagogy. It aims to investigate cultural discourse statement by university teachers indicating teacher belief about culture. The gap between what the demand for EFL teaching and teacher belief is still understudies, which results in varied interpretations on how an intercultural classroom teaching should be managed. The qualitative design involved 6 university teachers from 3 different universities in Indonesia, representing the west, the central, and the east parts of the Indonesian archipelago. The data were obtained by two different sessions of interviews on each participant. The data were transcribed and transformed into text and analyzed by using discourse analysis with N-VIVO Software. The present study adopted narrative studies, focusing on teacher education and intercultural education. The results of the study revealed that the university teachers have shown their critical awareness towards the interaction between language teaching, culture, and sociocultural relations. They are critically aware of the complexity of culture. And finally, they have critical awareness of interrelated discourse building on identity, power, and other ideological aspects influencing their own teaching context. This study illuminates that cultural belief is one of the most important factors shaping the intercultural teaching and learning activities at university level. The present study needs to be replicated to gain broader outlook of intercultural EFL pedagogy in Indonesia. Future research needs to focus on how personal experiences including formal education can re-build teacher belief that elevates intercultural communicative competence of teacher.
