In this changing era, which is characterized by the interconnected world, and the increasing mobility of people, the need to be able to communicate inter-culturally is evident. To be successful in intercultural communication, one does not only need to be linguistically competent but also culturally knowledgeable and sensitive. Bearing in mind these cultural needs, this paper details the scavenger hunt technique as a tool for enhancing culture learning and intercultural communication practice. Although this technique applies to students of any major, this study was specifically implemented to a group of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in Indonesia. Participants of this study were nine (9) male and twenty (20) female students of The English Language Education Program at a private university in Central Java, Indonesia. The students did the scavenger hunt in a group of four or five during their three-day trip to a multicultural setting in Indonesia: Bali island, and documented the activities in vlogs. The students’ vlogs which were data of this study were analyzed by using a qualitative content analysis approach. The findings showed that the scavenger hunt task resulted in the students' learning on cultural knowledge, intercultural communication, intercultural adaptation, information technology, and soft skills. During the three-day program, the students could also use English in a meaningful way. The study presented the strengths, weaknesses, and recommendations of this study, as well as some ideas for further research. Keywords : culture learning, intercultural communication, EFL,scavenger hunt.

寻宝游戏：一种增强文化学习和跨文化交流实践的技术

在这个以相互联系的世界为特征的不断变化的时代中，人们的流动性不断提高，显然需要能够进行跨文化交流。要在跨文化交流中取得成功，不仅需要具备语言能力，还需要具备文化知识和敏感性。考虑到这些文化需求，本文详细介绍了寻宝技术，以此作为加强文化学习和跨文化交流实践的工具。尽管此技术适用于任何专业的学生，​​但该研究是专门针对印度尼西亚的一组英语作为外语（EFL）学生实施的。这项研究的参与者是印度尼西亚中爪哇省一所私立大学的英语教育计划的九（9）名男学生和二十（20）名女学生。在为期三天的印度尼西亚多元文化环境旅行中，学生们以四五人一组的身份进行了寻宝活动：巴厘岛，并在电子博客中记录了活动。使用定性内容分析方法分析了作为本研究数据的学生vlog。调查结果表明，拾荒者的任务导致学生学习文化知识，跨文化交流，跨文化适应，信息技术和软技能。在为期三天的课程中，学生还可以以有意义的方式使用英语。这项研究提出了这项研究的优点，缺点和建议，以及一些进一步研究的想法。关键词：文化学习，跨文化交流，英语学习，寻宝游戏。
