“…Meanwhile, another opinion divides cultural forms into four categories, (1) environment (ecology, place name), (2) cultural heritage (religious beliefs, historical events, folklore, objects), (3) social culture (agreements, beliefs, habits, social organization), and (4) linguistic culture (expressions, idioms) (Guerra, 2012). In line with Guerra's opinion, the environment becomes a part of cultural life needed to protect because a good environment can create good behaviour in sociocultural life (Arafah et al, 2021). The good behaviour of one society can be the sign, characteristic, or identity that shows where the people belong (Arafah & Hasyim, 2019).…”

“…The study of environmental issues in a literary work is considered essential to raising enlightenment in humans. In response to environmental issues, a strong need is urgently required to encourage people's awareness of the environment (Arafah et al, 2021).

This research was aimed at reflecting how Sujiwo Tejo and M. N. Kamba treat nature in Komat Kamit (murmuring), one of the chapters in their work entitled Tuhan Maha Asik. Tejo and Kamba explained clearly how humans have treated the natural environment. This research is considered important and worthwhile as it is an effort to raise human awareness about the importance of protecting and conserving nature. This also shows that a literary work can be a significant medium that also plays an important role in efforts to preserve nature or the environment. This study uses an ecocriticism approach, which is a study of the reflection of the interconnection between humans and nature in literary works. This research also uses descriptive qualitative in which the data obtained from the literary work are analyzed to determine the reciprocal relationship between humans and nature in Komat-Kamit, one of the chapters in Tejo and Kamba's Tuhan Maha Asik. The findings of this study indicate that how humans treat nature greatly affects the nature of the environment. Komat Kamit or murmuring is reflected as a habit to show human gratitude for nature to God. Such a habit also symbolizes human respect for nature. Human gratitude and respect for nature can result in ecological balance and sustainability. However, Komat Kamit, or murmuring implies that the relationship between humans and nature is not just words of praise to nature but must be realized with concrete actions to protect and preserve nature.

“…Data from the Association of Indonesian Internet Service Providers (APJII) shows that 132.7 million Indonesians are internet users or more than 50% of the total population of Indonesia, namely 256 million Indonesians (Hasyim, 2019). This means that more than 50% of Indonesia's population are smartphone-based internet users so that it is not difficult to adjust the online learning activities for students (Arafah, Abbas, et al, 2021). It is widely recognized that there is a strong connection between people and technology since technology has been increased (Arafah, Abbas, et al, 2021).…”

The current study was aimed to investigate the cultural perspectives on online learning through the flipped learning activity to face the 4.0 industry era in Indonesia. Online learning has been a trend in education as the development of education in the world refers to the current situations due to the development of technology. The important thing needed to be considered is concerned with the strategy of providing the learning time allocation and using technology. The best alternative strategy to support online learning is conducting the flipped learning activity. However, it is not an easy matter since some cultural aspects in Indonesia can be great obstacles. That's why it is crucial to recognize the problems and find the solutions referring to the existing cultural dimensions. The results revealed that the way how the learners studied English through the online learning activities was mostly influenced by the cultural dimensions such as getting passive in the class, focusing on getting good grades, expecting the teachers’ dominations in the class, and getting fond of being given playful learning activities. Regarding this, some solutive efforts were also done by the teachers in the form of flipped learning activities leading the acts of building the classroom interactions through questioning and giving various tasks targetting to improve the generic capabilities. Hence, it is recommended that both the EFL teachers and learners can overcome the problems related to the existence and influence of the cultural dimensions by implementing the flipped learning activities to support the online learning activities conducted for reaching better academic achievements through the developments of their generic capabilities to face the 4.0 industry era.
