Abstract

Integrating local contents in a course book has been an effort by some Indonesian teachers to keep up the culture of the country, prevent the negative effect of the western culture, and meet the students’ needs on materials (Prastiwi, 2016). This is also a response to the changes in the trend of learning English as the international language in the globalization era which emphasize the language teaching on the learners’ context (Kumaravadivelu, 2006). Relating to this issue, this study analyzes the role of curriculum to support the use of local contents in English learning at English Education Study Program of IAIN Parepare. The study also discusses the students’ perceptions on the use of local contents in essay writing course book. The study takes the curriculum of English education study program of IAIN Parepare and the students as the sources of information. The research employs questionnaire as an instrument to get data on the students’ perceptions. The result of the study shows that the curriculum supports and guides the use of local contents in English learning. It is proved by the statement of the mission of the English language education study program in the curriculum that is to develop English language learning that integrates Islam and local content wisdom, intellectual and emotional intelligences, as well as spiritual intelligence based on research and information technology. Analysis of the students’ perceptions also indicates that they perceive English learning through local contents positively.
