For nearly ten years beginning with Kurikulum 2013 the two conflicting issues of maintaining students national identity and the need to master English as an international language resulted in a questionable direction of the English curriculum for the primary level in Indonesia. The absence of a government-mandated English syllabus and the latest Indonesian curriculum Kurikulum Merdeka have given primary school teachers the freedom to design an English curriculum that addresses the two contending issues. The issues of meeting the needs of maintaining students identity as well as improving students English competence can be facilitated by integrating local culture in English subjects. Responding to that opportunity this study is intended to develop an English syllabus for primary schools with local culture using the research and development (R amp D) approach using the Borg and Gall (2003) model. The interview of needs assessment with 6 vice principals of academic affairs 6 English teachers and 30 students from 6 schools in Malang municipality Indonesia was used to collect data. The data was descriptively analyzed using thematic analysis to identify the internal and external critical factors deemed important in achieving the goal. The syllabus was subsequently developed using the Dick and Carey (1996) Instructional Design Model which contains vigilant phases for developing instructional tools particularly the syllabus. The integration of local culture in the syllabus was inserted in selected topics based on Byram rsquo s (1993) cultural categories. Following the development the syllabus garnered feedback comments and suggestions from a panel of validators comprised of two ELT and curriculum expertise and two practitioners of English teachers. Following improvements in the validation stage a try-out in one class of the primary schools participating in the need assessments stage using the syllabus was conducted to gather information regarding the teacher s and students experiences in learning using the syllabus. An interview was conducted with teachers and students to obtain their feedback on the implementation of the syllabus. The findings revealed that the English syllabus with local culture not only helps students maintain their identities but also provides a familiar context for students learning English as a foreign language resulting in easier understanding. Local culture is reflected in the topics reading text and situation in the syllabus development. However materials integrating local culture are rarely obtained on the internet making it challenging for teachers to deliver the materials. As a result it is suggested that future studies develop English materials/textbooks that integrate local culture. Furthermore because this study did not assess students achievement after integrating local culture into English subjects further study on the effects of local culture interventions on students English achievement and how local culture integration can help students maintain their identity is encouraged.
