Abstract

This paper explores online local cultural materials written in English that local teachers and students can use for Education 3.0 EFL learning. This paper firstly discusses the internet sources that local English teachers can use as resources for English learning materials. These materials can be in the form of cultural texts (e.g. legends, stories, recipes, etc) and cultural practices (e.g. ceremonies, games, etc). It then elaborates on the nature of these texts and practice as well as the challenges and the opportunities for using them in 'glocalised' EFL classes, which are 'global' in orientation but 'local' in pedagogic practices. These challenges and opportunities will also be seen from the perspectives of Education 3.0 where, firstly, learners actively make use of the online materials for their own independent learning and shared in the classroom for the learning of others, and, secondly, teachers facilitate students for intra- and inter-individual learning. The study focuses on materials from major cultural groups in Indonesia (i.e. Balinese, Banjarese, Buginese & Makassar, Javanese, Minang, Sundanese, Sasak, Samawa and Mbojo). Data were collected by downloading online materials and analysed using content analyses to identify the nature of texts and practices and to examine the nature of the challenges and the opportunities from both perspectives. The paper shows the nature of texts and practices, and the contents as well as the challenges and the opportunities in using the materials for localized Education3.0 English classes.
