Abstract
This chapter provides the rationale behind the integration of values into English language teaching (ELT) materials. It moves on to succinctly describe the sociolinguistic landscape of Southeast Asia (SEA) in order to help the reader understand the sociolinguistic context of the region. The chapter also outlines what each chapter presents. It concludes by pinpointing a pressing need for conducting a myriad of studies on the incorporation of moral and cultural values into ELT materials in which the contexts of studies should go beyond SEA.
