In the Middle East areas, it is clear that English culture through textbooks could not be taught separately from the English language. As Awayed-Bishara (2015:540) assumed that the cultural content of materials used for teaching English to high school speakers of Arabic in Israel were more contained of the western culture than Arabic. This affected misperceptions on non-native speakers as minority to maintain their ideology and power. On the other hand, Gorjian & Aghvami (2017:77) did a comparative study beyond perceptions of EFL teachers and learners to investigate how importance English culture to improve students’reading comprehension ability. The results of comparing English materials of native and non-native textbooks indicated that the first performed more cultural content for almost all students in class than the second. It assumed that English language culture is a vital necessity in ELT. These cultural researches will enrich students’ understanding on English culture as an essential aspect in teaching learning processes of English as a foreign language (EFL) .  \nIn Indonesia, English is a main subject to be learned by students in junior high school. Although, English has taught at school but their understanding level has not maximized yet. In specific areas of Indonesia, especially in Ambon city,  \nit was less desired by students because of they face difficulties to understand its vocabularies and grammar. Besides, they have insufficient knowledge about foreign culture as result of learning foreign language that is English. They are hoped to study about language and culture once through education. School is a place where the teacher meets with students who came from different background such as areas, social classes, languages, religions, traditions, and behaviors in a homogenous society. English language is used asa media of communication to transfer ideas, thoughts, and opinions based on the students’background.
