DAYAK CULTURE-BASED TEXTBOOK In Bilingual: English and Indonesia
About this ebook
was emerged as a willingness to preserve Dayak culture for
young generation and to expose the culture to the world. The
textbook is designed in bilingual for the purpose of teaching
English for high school student level with culture as its contents.
It is also completed with Indonesia version to facilitate them to
understand the meaning in their own native language.
Dayak Culture has uniqueness that becomes the icon of
Kalimantan Region. Unfortunately, their young generations
have limited ability to expose their culture to the worldwide
since there is a barrier of language used. The young generation
must know the international language in order to use it for
exposing their culture. At least, they could introduce and
describe about their culture to foreign tourists who are interested
to know about Dayak culture.
Hopefully, the existence of Dayak Culture-Based Textbook
will help them understand their culture and at the same time to
learn their culture by using English as a medium for
communication. They will be familiar with the terms used for
telling about arts including traditional dances and music,
clothes, culinary, houses, customs, traditional ceremonies, and
many others. By understanding the content in English and being
able to communicate by using the language, they will be the
agents for tourism ambassador.
