It is already a common perception that English can lead to involvement in globalization. However the teaching of English has lead learners to be advanced in the language and become way too globalized. The problems emerge when their attitude is no longer rooted to the culture they have been brought up in. It somehow triggers the concern of some parties since students nowadays seem to have lost the grip of the values of the culture. It is expected that the teaching of English can make students think globally but act locally. It can be done by reorganizing the teaching materials by inserting some local culture and values into the teaching and learning.  Thus, this study is intended to explore the teaching of English using local-content values. This is a  descriptive qualitative which employed questionnaire and interview as the instruments of the research. The findings of the study revealed that cultural values were necessary to be integrated in the teaching of English for elementary school students.
