Book Chapter

The study has highlighted the significant role that

Sundanese plays in English language teaching in West

Java. While some challenges are associated with language

interference and over-reliance on the mother tongue,

the benefits in student comprehension and engagement

cannot be overlooked.

Using regional languages such as

Sundanese in English language teaching can help students

overcome the challenges of learning a second language. By

using the local language as a tool to explain concepts in

English, students can more easily understand the material,

feel more comfortable, and reduce anxiety while learning.

In addition, this approach can create a more inclusive

learning environment by appreciating the students' local

languages and cultures
