Abstract

English as a global language is learned worldwide and a plethora of methods and approaches have been developed and practiced in English classrooms by dedicated teachers and students. Understanding the underlying theories of second and foreign language acquisition and learning will help both teachers and students in learning and teaching a target language. There has not been many research conducted in the area, especially within Indonesian context. This research therefore attempts to fill in gaps in a way that it provides sufficient discussion of the theories and practice in English Language Teaching (ELT) in Indonesia in its conjunction with the second and foreign language acquisition theories. Twenty eight students specializing in teacher training participated in the research and two distinguished data collection methods were utilized; survey and interview. The results show that the students are not consistent with their opinions concerning the theories of second or foreign language acquisition and learning in relation to the mastery of English as a foreign language in Indonesia. Keywords: language learning, language acquisition, ELT

Abstract

The field of English language teaching (ELT) has long been a fertile soil for native-speakerism where the native English teachers (NESTs) enjoy the privilege to be crowned as the ideal teachers of the language.  Such belief is ingrained in all aspects of ELT including English language testing such as in International English language Testing System (IELTS), where the presence of non-native English examiners is extremely rare. Departing from this phenomenon, this study, conducted as a narrative case study, embarked to counter such claim by looking into the professional credentials and experiences of three non-native English teachers (NNESTs) who, against all odds, become official IELTS examiners in Indonesia. The data of the study were gathered through interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that the participants develop native-like level of fluency as the result of their investment in developing English skills through engaging in English mediated communication, interactions and learning in private English language institutions (PELIs). Moreover, their success is also attributed to their international teaching certificates which opened doors for them to compete with NESTs. Thus, this study seeks to inspire NNESTs to continuously develop their teaching credentials and to boost their confidence as legitimate teachers of English.

Abstract

English immersion programme (EIP) or English as the medium of instruction (EMI) believes in the importance of maximum exposure to the target language. The use of English as the main language at school are both exciting but also challenging for the students since English is not widely used outside of the schools. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how the students perceive EIP or EMI as they go through formal education in Indonesia. This study was conducted as a case study of fifty-nine secondary students in an EIP school in Bandung, Indonesia. The data was collected through questionnaire and semi structured interviews. The data from questionnaire was analysed using descriptive statistics whereas thematic analysis was employed to analyze data from interviews. The findings show that the students have very positive attitude towards the EIP at school. The participants believe that by going to an EIP school, they developed their English skills much more rapidly compared to those who study in non-EIP schools. This study contributes to the discussions surrounding the practice of EIP or EMI in Indonesia and other countries where English is learned as a foreign language (EFL).

Abstract

The status of English as an international language (EIL) has shaped the teaching of English as a second/foreign language (ESL/EFL). In a multicultural and multi linguistic country such as Indonesia, the learning of English has created tensions amongst the people. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how learning English in an English immersion program effect student’s identity as Indonesian learners. The participants of this study were 59 secondary school and 10 teachers at an EIP school in Indonesia. The data were collected through questionnaire, semi-structured interview and field observation. The data from questionnaire was analysed using descriptive statistics and the data from interviews was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings show that there is a significant difference between how the students view their learning and their teacher’s in terms of how it effects their sense of nationalism. The teachers were concerned about the student’s attitude towards Indonesian arts and history claiming that they did not show respect to the local culture. Whereas students seem to dot aware of how their learning experience shape their identity. The study proposes a social and cultural examination of the EIP to complement the discussion about English learning process in Indonesia.
