“…Without them he is nothing. As such, it mirrors previous study highlighting a strategy management of keeping distance between the speaker and the audience (Bu et al, 2020;Fernández-agüero & Chancay-cedeño, 2019;Qian & Pan, 2019). Saying it differently, the use of "we" in this speech tends to show that the speaker did not separate himself from the audience and did not put himself as the only agent of change.…”

Text analysis was mainly concerned with the ideational function and textual function. Besides, macro aspect has been regarded as the most text structure examined in previous studies. Regardless of those three aspects, this study focused on the interpersonal function analysis of political speech text, by taking an example of Joe Biden’s victory speech. The purposed theory namely Systemic Functional Linguistics theory (SFL) was then applied to analyze the text. The analysis was conducted by modifying the speech text into clauses which were subsequently analyzed in accordance with the goal of the analysis. Data analysis revealed that the speech established an intimate relationship and a close distance with the audience. As such, the speaker enables to gain support and exchange information through the use of linguistics resources namely declarative clause in the mood structure, modality, and pronoun "we". As a conclusion, different use of mood, modality, and personal pronouns might determine the different level of interpersonal function of a text. This study has a great impact on language teaching and learning in terms of maintaining social relationships and exchanging meanings between teachers and students by taking into account the link between linguistic resources and the nature of texts.

“…There are massive cases where the application of Intercultural Communication Competence in language learning & teaching already focuses on the third component: attitudes, and no longer limited to knowledge component and skills component. Unfortunately, most of the language teachers are focusing heavily on the culture of target country language but their own country culture receives little attention [13]. In this factor, language teacher plays a crucial role not only in the aspect of language teaching methodology but correspondingly to encourage learners in identifying personal self-identity linked to the critical cultural awareness component as mentioned in the model of Intercultural Communication Competence above [14].…”

The abstract should In the era of the fourth industrial revolution today, the interaction between countries and cultures are no longer confined to overt geographical barriers due to technological advancement. However, these advances have created a countervailing effect on cultural identity, with a tendency to its loss; as well as cultural hegemony of one culture upon another culture. This phenomenon could be seen as well among foreign language learners. This critical literature study aims to examine the urgency of intercultural communication competence in foreign language learning to secure national cultural identity. This study has been commenced with the analysis of the development of intercultural interaction; determinant factors in intercultural competency integration of a language learning process; as well as the utilization of technology to enhance intercultural communication competency in the foreign language learning process. The result shows that information & communication technology (ICT) is beneficial in the materials development for foreign language learning. It carries the role of a media in learning, also as a means of communication to integrate intercultural communication competency into the foreign language learning process in today's era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

“…Many studies show that culture-based materials can improve students' speaking skills (Fernández-Agüero & Chancay-Cedeño, 2019;Aprianoto & Haerazi, 2019), reading skills (Hoff, 2019), and writing skills (Haerazi et al, 2018). Also, providing students with cultural activities can evolve students' cultural and intercultural awareness (McConachy, 2018;Kusumaningputri & Widodo, 2018), multicultural insight (Uzum et al, 2018), and linguistic awareness (Krulatz et al, 2018).…”

Some studies showed these learning activities were capable of developing intercultural competencies (Tambyah, 2018;Fernández-Agüero & Chancay-Cedeño, 2019;and Hagar & Hagar, 2018).…”

This study investigates the culture-based instructional materials (C-BIM) model to improve studentsâ€™ reading and writing skills viewed from critical thinking skills at the junior-high-school in Indonesia. This study is a mixed-method employing the explanatory sequential design. The data are in the form of quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative data are collected first and followed by the quantitative one. The research instruments are in the form of reading and writing tests, questionnaires, and interview sheets. The test is used to see the studentsâ€™ reading and writing achievements. Meanwhile, the questionnaire is utilized to determine the studentsâ€™ and teachersâ€™ intercultural awareness and perception of incorporating cultures in teaching materials. The data of reading-writing achievement are analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Thus, the data of studentsâ€™ and teachersâ€™ cultural awareness and perception are gained by applying qualitative steps: analysis, reduction, coding, interpretation, and conclusion. Based on the result of the research, this study indicates that the C-BIM model significantly affects studentsâ€™ reading and writing skills. Also, it has an interaction between teaching materials and critical thinking skills. Researchers elaborate on those in the discussion part of this article regarding the students' intercultural competence and perception.
