This study explores teachers’ strategies in developing English learning materials based on students’ local culture, aiming to integrate cultural relevance into language education. By leveraging local traditions, stories, and practices, teachers create contextualized learning experiences that enhance students’ engagement and comprehension. The research employs qualitative methods, including observations, interviews, and document analysis, to identify how local cultural elements are incorporated into teaching strategies and materials. Key findings reveal that teachers utilize storytelling, project-based learning, and role-playing to align English instruction with cultural content, fostering both language acquisition and cultural appreciation. Despite the benefits, challenges such as limited resources and the difficulty of aligning cultural content with curriculum standards are highlighted. This study underscores the importance of culturally responsive teaching in bridging the gap between global language skills and local identity, offering practical insights for educators seeking to integrate local culture into English language instruction.
