English for Cultural Voices brings the beauty of Indonesia’s legends into the English classroom, turning language learning into a cultural adventure. Designed for Phase D learners under the Kurikulum Merdeka, this thematic coursebook integrates the four language skills with 21st-century competencies such as critical thinking, collaboration, and digital literacy. Students explore captivating folktales from across the Indonesian archipelago, engaging with stories that reflect the nation’s diverse traditions while developing the ability to listen, speak, read, write, and present confidently in English.
Each chapter blends engaging storytelling with interactive tasks that spark curiosity and foster autonomy. From multimedia brainstorming to role plays, flashcard-based vocabulary work, and moral value reflections, learners actively build fluency and comprehension in meaningful contexts. Special attention is given to mastering the Simple Past Tense and the language features of narratives, empowering students to both understand and create their own stories.
With its balance of cultural richness, skill integration, and technology-enhanced learning, English for Cultural Voices offers more than just English lessons, it builds identity, pride, and a voice that can share Indonesia’s heritage with the world. This is not only a coursebook, but also a bridge connecting language mastery with the values and traditions that shape who we are.
