Abstract
This study discussed aspects that Micro Teaching students consider in designing EIL
(English as an International Language) materials. This study was aimed to answer the
research question, “What are the aspects that students in Micro Teaching class consider in
designing EIL materials?” Seven participants from Micro Teaching class were selected to be
the participants of this study. The data were obtained from seven participants’ action research
journals, lesson plans and interview. The result of the study revealed that familiarity issues
and the place of western culture are the things which were mainly considered by students in
Micro Teaching class. This result supported several finding found by McKay (2002, 2003,
2012) and Matsuda (2012). EIL approach is beneficial in teaching EFL (Friedrich &
Matsuda, 2010 in Matsuda, 2012) and quality of input (material) is very critical (Matsuda,
2012). Pedagogical implication suggested by this study is that teachers should be more aware
with EIL and provide more varied and suitable EIL material to achieve a qualified application
of EIL approach in teaching and learning process.
Key words: EIL material, familiarities issue, western culture.
