Abstract

The Indonesian English curricula has experienced many changes. The historical sketch of how English has been confirmed as a foreign language since 1914 has produced different kinds of focus for the English subject in the Indonesian curriculum from the 1968 to the 1975 then 1984, 1994, 2004 and 2013. The latest curriculum devised in 2013 has encouraged teachers to become creative in innovating English language teaching materials that encourages students to learn English in an enjoyable way. With a fun setting, more students of English as a foreign language would have the ability to succeed in the primary to secondary school exams that makes the English subject as the most important to pass along with the Indonesian language and ability to do mathematics well. Through an initial tryout of a smartphone based TOEFL-like game application, this paper shares the result that student testers see the game as relevant in helping promote local Indonesian culture to the global world, in addition to ensuring students enough exercises to increase their abilities to do exercises that are usually found in an integrated-based TOEFL exercise, which consists of a Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking section. Keywords: Local and global culture, TOEFL-like game, smartphone, English language classroom
