Promoting intercultural awareness in English language teaching from intercultural pragmatics perspectives: A Descriptive quantitative study at Muhammadiyah Kendari University.
This study aimed to investigate the perspectives of students regarding teaching materials and the level of intercultural communicative competence they had acquired. In addition, this study aimed to analyze the efficacy of teaching materials provided in text or through films in enhancing students' knowledge of
intercultural concepts. Sixty-two students in their sixth and eighth semesters participated in this mixed
methods approach (QUAN-qual) descriptive quantitative design study. The participants were chosen purposefully for inclusion in the study. The data collection process included administering self-assessment
questionnaires during the pre-test and post-test, as well as questionnaires and students' reflective writings following the completion of each learning module. The study revealed that students exhibited good perspectives and positive attitudes toward intercultural teaching materials and a decent degree of acceptability for the learning activities that these materials promoted. In addition, it has been proved that the teaching materials students received in their learning enhanced their understanding and awareness of intercultural concepts.
