And the documents analyzed were learning devices such as syllabus and teaching plan that had been designed. The research data is in the form of interviews and texts related to popular culture such as pictures, music, food and drinks, sports and books. The results of the study show that popular culture such as images of food and drinks, music, sports and entertainment can be developed into English teaching materials.
