Abstract

This paper explores the philosophical and practical tensions shaping English Language Teaching (ELT) in Indonesian primary schools, focusing on the interplay between global educational demands and local pedagogical realities. Situated within language policy studies and critical pedagogy, it examines how Indonesia’s pursuit of global competitiveness through early English instruction intersects with its multicultural, multilingual, and geographically diverse education system. The study highlights potential benefits of early English learning, including cognitive development, enhanced economic mobility through linguistic capital, and alignment with ASEAN regional integration goals. Yet, it also interrogates persistent barriers such as the shortage of qualified English teachers for young learners, stark urban-rural disparities in resources, and the epistemological clash between standardized global frameworks and Indonesia’s linguistic diversity. Analyzing recent policy reforms—particularly the Kurikulum Merdeka and its decentralization principles—the paper illustrates how educational innovations seek to balance universalist language paradigms with culturally grounded approaches. Employing critical discourse analysis, statistical review, and philosophical reflection, the study argues that sustainable ELT must transcend the global-local binary, embracing integrative pedagogies that respect Indonesia’s cultural and linguistic richness while fostering global engagement. Ultimately, the paper recommends context-responsive teacher development, culturally relevant curriculum design, and equitable policy implementation to reimagine English education as a space for both global participation and the affirmation of local identity.

Abstract

The students at one of Vocational High Schools in Sarolangun, Jambi, have some difficulties understanding the English Tense which is very essential in understanding sentence meaning related with time activities. This research aimed to develop an android-based application to help them overcome their difficulties. The development of the application made use of the Kodular website. The research method used was Research and Development (R&D) which followed the five stages of the ADDIE model as the developmental procedure. The stages of the ADDIE model in accordance with Branch theory are 1) Analysis, 2) Design, 3) Development, 4) Implementation, and 5) Evaluation. The data related with developmental process were collected using questionnaire then analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The result of this research was in form of an android-based application called FunTense which accommodates students’ needs and preferences in the learning English Tense. The result indicated that the development was valid proved by the result of media validation with 78% score percentage and content validation with 91% score percentage. Further, the students response indicated as excellent with total score percentage 92,95%. It can be concluded that the FunTense application developed in this research was valid and can be used as a learning media.
