Sari

ABSTRACT: This paper mainly discusses about the critical analysis of
the current practice of English language teaching which pay less attention
in local culture and also to propose the alternative solution for the sake of
supporting and promoting character of education in Indonesia. In the line
of the national education goal, it seems that the most possible way to
overcome this is by integrating Indonesian local culture values in the
practice of English Language teaching to enhance students’ character.
