Abstract: Various tactics may be used to increase students' motivation to speak English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in the Indonesian context.The goal of this research is to increase Indonesian learners' motivation to speak EFL by promoting intercultural communication (IC) on social media and in learning materials.Quantitative techniques were used in this study.Forty students from a single-state institution participated in the study.They belong to five distinct ethnic groups.They were requested to complete a distributed questionnaire to obtain reliable data, which were then analyzed using the Four-Likert scale.The research also found a correlation between intercultural communication on social media and learning materials, and the motivation to speak English as a foreign language.Furthermore, the findings suggest that a technology-integrated language curriculum is important for the globalized world.In addition, learners' understanding of intercultural communication and crisis identity avoidance was highlighted in the empirical correlation.However, a research-based online survey or virtual narrative inquiry to gather thousands of intercultural viewpoints for future studies is recommended for a small number of study participants.Other studies, like the ability to listen, write, and read, are also important enough to be thought about.In this vein, the current study calls for further research on the role of EFL teachers in the design of curriculum EFL online intercultural competence-oriented activities.
