The purpose of the study is posed to diagnose the developmental stages of intercultural communicative competence during family interactions of Indonesian EFL higher education students at home context. An ethnographic approach with distant observation taken in this study due to the Covid-19 health protocol. A triangulation technique involving online interview and archival model was conducted to enhance the observation. The data collection was analyzed based on the Pyramid Model of Intercultural Competence (Deardroff, 2006) and the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (Bennett, 2017). The result implies that the students’ intercultural communicative competence development viewing from the dimension of requisite attitudes covers valuing other cultures, openness to other people attitude, and tolerance in a different view. On another result, the dimension of knowledge and comprehension encompasses deep understanding and knowledge of contexts and worldviews, cultural self-awareness, and sociolinguistics awareness. In conclusion, EFL students' intercultural communicative competence development commonly promoted ethnorelative stages more than the ethnocentric stage.

The purpose of this study is to explore EFL higher education students’ intercultural communicative competence in community interactions based on communal perspectives. The study will employ a qualitative approach using two types of interviews: individual (a face-to-face meeting with one community member) and small group (videoconferencing with two or three members as the representation of the student’s community). Six-phase guide of thematic analysis was employed in this study. The study reveals that the message content and message relationship are displayed as important elements in community interaction. In practicing intercultural communicative competence in the community, EFL students portrayed open-mindedness, self-awareness, and nonverbal communication skills as the key characteristics of effective communication. Furthermore, the emergence of misunderstanding in community interaction is undeniably linked to speaker-related, interlocutor-related, and participant-related trigger. Therefore, EFL students addressed the use of language and the practice of tolerance to incorporate intercultural aspects in community interaction.

Pembahasan terkait hak pengelolaan dari tanah ulayat menjadi suatu yang sangat penting mengingat banyaknya kasus-kasus sengketa tanah yang melibatkan tanah ulayat di dalamnya, hal ini tak lain di sebabkan karena tanah ulayat merupakan tanah adat yang meski sudah diatur dalam Undang-undang namun masih sulit menentukan hak kelolanya dikarenakan berkaitan dengan masyarakat adat yang kerap kali sulit untuk dijangkau hukum, kajian ini kemudian diharapakan mampu meperjelas status dari tanah ulayat sehinggah tidak terjadi sengketa-sengketa sejenis di masa yang akan datang, harus di ketahui juga bahwa hak ulayat yaitu hak yang dimiliki suatu persekutuan hukum adat, untuk menguasai tanah beserta segala isinya dalam lingkungan wilayah persekutuan tersebut.

Most studies on the link between cross-cultural values and language teaching conducted in online settings almost always draw on students’ perspectives, yet few focus on how the attitudes of higher education lecturers in the conduct of this program. Therefore, this study aims to investigate EFL lecturers’ attitudes toward cross-cultural practices during EFL online teaching. A qualitative approach with observation and semi-structured interviews via face-to-face and online meetings is used to collect the data in this research. Using purposive sampling, this study employs four EFL lecturers from Muhammadiyah university as selected participants based on their experiences in teaching cultural-integrated classes at both offline and online schemes. The study discovered that EFL lecturers understand cross-cultural practices in EFL online teaching to be associated with personality traits, language roles, and understanding of local culture as a way to incorporate cross-cultural knowledge into their teaching. To foster effective interaction in the class, lecturers focus on conveying opinions and maintaining communication by understanding with whom to speak, where to speak, and ways to speak. These essences and fundamental attributes influence cross-cultural practices in EFL online teaching. The study reveals that cultural differences, incorrect expressions such as a lack of appropriate word choices, and a mismatch of verbal and nonverbal language can cause cross-cultural teaching barriers. Furthermore, the need to create an authentic environment, increase intercultural knowledge, and eliminate cultural stereotypes is to be addressed as cross-cultural teaching strategies in an EFL online teaching context.
