Abstract

English as global language is also constantly used in virtual speech community [3] with unbounded geographically but inhabit and practice English language and culture in their own localities. The situation provokes question on the custodian of standard English language and culture, thus on how they are presented in Indonesian English as Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. To facilitate complex construction of language, culture and identity [11] suggests transnational pedagogy which rests on the recognition of linguistic and cultural complexity and on transnational flow. It is characterized by a view of language that operates with the three loci [11] aiming for intercultural communicative competence (ICC). Aware with the nature of English Literature Department students at Bina Nusantara who are digital natives and part of borderless English virtual speech community, this mixed method study intends to figure out to what extend the transnational pedagogy exists at English Literature Department, Bina Nusantara, and further conveys students’ intercultural communicative experiences to implicate their needs on achieving intercultural communicative competence. The quantitative data is gained through questionnaire while qualitative data shall be gathered through interview. Both data will depict transnational pedagogy and students’ intercultural experiences. Upon analysing quantitative data and going through data reduction on interview data [4], the element of transnational pedagogy exists in a form of topics and discourse presented in classroom. The materials are done in target language, but they do not rigidly come and display inner circle countries. However, from the students’ perspective, the hegemony of western perspective is still strongly existing in classroom discussion. The result of this study indicates the need to plan the application of transnational pedagogy for it supports students to survive as global speakers of English outside classroom especially in virtual community.
