Abstract


Abstract:In 2003, UNESCO declared the Indonesian culture of wayang as a part of humanity's intangible cultural heritage. Realizing this, it is important to conserve wayang by carrying out preservation actions, one of which is including wayang in various teaching resources for language-related disciplines. This paper aims at discussing the integration of wayang as part of cultural content in English class. A descriptive qualitative design was employed in this study. The methods of data collection consisted of documentation and observation. The subjects of this study were the teaching materials that have already been integrated with wayang as part of cultural content in English class. The findings showed that there were some contents and skills in English teaching materials that could be integrated with wayang, such as speaking competition through IG reels about wayang, writing ideas and opinions about wayang on Youtube, and speaking activities implemented in drama wayang. The findings also implied that students enjoyed the learning activities integrated with wayang. Those who had not known wayang before, started knowing wayang from the materials and activities given. In short, the integration of wayang as part of cultural content in English class was evidenced.
