After reading this journal, I learn the aim of this study is to analyze the difficulties or problems faced by the students and the teacher in learning and teaching multicultural.
“A language is a part of a cultural and a cultural is a part of a language”
I got the quote above from the introduction part. That quote means that in teaching a language we cannot separate with its culture. The importance of teaching multicultural is to help the students face the multiculturalism in this new era. However, the purpose of teaching this material is to give the students knowledge that there are many lifestyles, languages, cultures, and point of views outside their own.
Teaching multicultural is not easy for the students, there are so many problems which come from the teacher side or the students' side. In facing those difficulties in teaching and learning multicultural, the researcher provides some strategies and suggestions. Every student has his own way in learning and also the teachers, they have their own way or method in teaching their students.
In conclusion, the researcher states that teaching English in a cross-cultural context must broaden the students’ horizon. The teacher must use the suitable method or technique in teaching the students so the students will be motivated in learning the multicultural.
Hai Astri... your writing is actually good. You gave me new knowledge about the difficulties or problems faced by the students and the teachers in teaching learning multicultural. You provide a good quote " A language is a part of a cultural and a cultural is a part of a language". But it's better for you to give example of the problems or difficulties it selves, because the main point of you article is that. Thank you for sharing this good article :)
