Abstract

This article was inspired by the research we conducted towards English and Non-English Department students in Indonesia and Taiwan regarding the role of multicultural literature in cultivating empathy and Cultural Competence (CQ) to successfully navigate diversity in today’s network society. The goal of this article is to reflect and elaborate the role of Multicultural Literature (ML) in today’s smart cyber physical system and super smart human-centered society. Textual analysis of two poems on diversity were done and questionnaires related to the poems were also distributed to both Indonesian and Taiwanese students to be analyzed. The result of the research shows that 96.66% of Indonesian students approve that ML helps them develop their CQ, while 86.66% of Taiwanese students are certain of the same, meaning that multicultural literature has its potential in cultivating empathy and cultural competence among students that will make digital learning more humanized and still give the students agency to utilize the advanced yet emphatic technology for their benefit in their future profession.
