The purpose of this study was to develop culture materials for high school English learners according to the 2015 revised national English curriculum which emphasizes cultivating the global community competence. Prior to developing the materials, the needs of high school students and teachers were analyzed as a base study. Reflecting identified needs of the students and teachers, insufficient materials for teaching culture, the current study developed culture teaching materials based on the models of culture teaching put forward by Moran (2001) and Seelye (1993). The developed materials were evaluated by teachers using a modified McGrath’s (2002) materials evaluation checklist. The evaluation results showed that the developed materials gained high scores(McGrath’s rating scale 5.24/6) in terms of presenting learning activities related to leaning values and ideas of target cultures which helps learners strengthen the global community competence. Furthermore, the developed material scored highly(McGrath’s rating scale 5.84/6) in providing cultural activities that increased learners’ understanding of the target culture as well as its language.
