In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the study of cultural integration in English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms. The incorporation of local culture into the EFL classroom plays a crucial role in increasing students' awareness of culture and identity maintenance. However, studies on the development of multicultural reading materials have, to the best of our knowledge, been conducted infrequently in Indonesia. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to find out students' perceptions of multicultural reading materials that we had previously developed. This is a survey-based study involving eighth-grade students in an Indonesian junior high school in Lampung. Using descriptive statistics, the collected data were analysed. The findings indicate that the participants in the study favour the implementation of the multicultural reading activities we developed. The tasks have a favourable impact on their reading skills. The implications of the findings are also examined, along with a number of suggestions for future research.
