Cultural Integration Through Digital Discourse Analysis On Language Teaching in Higher Education

Abstract

Language teaching moves dynamically with the development of the digital world. Dynamic language teaching adjustments must be integrated with cultural diversity in Indonesia to increase students' cultural awareness. Based on these reasons, this study aims to describe cultural integration through digital discourse analysis in language teaching in higher education. This research uses a qualitative approach with observation and interview data collection techniques. The researcher observed the teaching of critical discourse analysis through digital discourse on online platforms.  The researcher also conducted interviews with lecturers and students in this data collection technique. The results of the study found five stages of integrating culture through digital discourse analysis in language teaching in higher education. The five steps are identifying culture in Indonesia, conducting discussions about culture in Indonesia, conducting learning according to graduate learning outcomes, fostering cultural awareness, and conducting evaluations. Cultural integration through digital discourse analysis is a structured effort to maintain culture by utilising digital innovation in language teaching.
