The reflection of EIL approach in this study is developed based on Matsuda’s (2011) EIL approach in her principles for EIL materials development. Inspired by Matsuda this study is attempted to analyze to what extent the EIL material reflects an EIL approach. This study is conducted in an EIL micro teaching class, a teaching practicum preparation which focuses on EIL teaching and learning in English Department of Satya Wacana Christian University, Salatiga. Based on the EIL teaching material designed for the EIL micro teaching class, this study analyzed the extent of the EIL approach reflected in an EIL material. The findings suggested that an EIL approach which is reflected in the EIL teaching material covers the example of English varieties today, the example of the use of English in L2 – L2 speakers (L2 – L2) communication, and the respect to the learners’ local culture.
