Abstract

The prevalence of globalization has facilitated the emergence of ageneration of students who are inherently interconnected and exposed to diverse cultures. However, the mere exposure to online cultural content does not necessarily guarantee an enhanced awareness of cultural differences. This research aimed to investigate the perspectives of Islamic Senior High School students in Bangkalan, Madura, who have experienced online cultural exposure in the context of English language pedagogy by following qualitative descriptive research. Data were collected through observations and interviews to 20 students. These questions asked about students’ opinion of local cultural exposure material in English learning and online media platform effect to their cultural understanding. Then, the data from observation was secondary data and used to examine the students response. The data from the field revealed that the students primarily rely on government-issued e-books and teacher-provided materials for their learning, while also engaging with various cultural content on online platforms. Those were analyzed using the qualitative descriptive method. The findings suggest a limited cultural awareness among students, indicating a preference for localized cultural content over a blend of diverse cultural influences. The research underscores the need for a more integrated approach to language and cultural education, as the students demonstrate a hesitation towards embracing a holistic integration of culture and language within the educational context.
