Abstract

Abstract: This study attempts to critically analyze the practices of foreign language teaching particularly English which commonly pay less attention to the accompanying intercultural communication and also to propose an alternative solution to support and promote the character education in this country. It is commonly believed that the practices of the English language teaching are always accompanied by the insertion of foreign cultural values which are not always in harmony with our own values. In line with the national education goals, it seems that the most possible way to overcome this problem is by integrating the Indonesian local cultural values in the practices of the English language teaching to promote character education, which is commonly believed to play important roles in encouraging, improving, and maintaining the spirit of nationalism of our future generation.

INSERSI BUDAYA LOKAL DALAM PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA INGGRIS GUNA MENDUKUNG TERWUJUDNYA PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER
Abstrak: Kajian ini hendak mencoba menelaah secara kritis praktek-praktek pembelajaran bahasa asing khususnya Bahasa Inggris yang umumnya kurang memperhatikan aspek akulturasi budaya yang menyertainya dan juga mencari alternatif solusi pemecahannya demi mendukung tercapainya pendidikan yang berbasis character building di negara ini. Pada kenyataannya, praktek pengajaran bahasa Inggris senantiasa menyediakan ruang adanya insersi nilai-nilai budaya asing masyarakat penuturnya yang belum tentu sejalan dengan nilai-nilai budaya masyarakata kita. Sejalan dengan tujuan pendidikan nasional, nampaknya salah satu upaya yang bisa dilakukan untuk mengantisipasi dampak insersi budaya asing tersebut adalah dengan mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai budaya lokal Indonesia pada pembelajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai alternatif cara guna mendukung upaya pemerintah dalam menggalakkan pendidikan berbasis karakter yang diyakini sangat penting untuk menumbuhkan, meningkatkan dan memelihara semangat nasionalisme generasi penerus bangsa ini.
Kata Kunci: budaya lokal, pembelajaran, bahasa Inggris, pendidikan karakter
