Abstract

This paper reports on the English Language Teaching (ELT) in Indonesia and the significance of a proposed approach to the ELT, that is, World Englishes. Library research was conducted to answer principal questions regarding “which prestigious variety should be used, the local English teacher (non-native English teacher) and inner-circle teacher debate (native English teacher), and impact of English affecting local languages. The report concludes with recommendations on how to deal with the three issues”. The first recommendation is to incorporate World Englishes teaching method into ELT in educational institutions nationwide hence provide first-hand experience of varieties of Englishes used in other countries. Secondly, it was suggested that it is more efficient to have both native and non-native English Teachers to teach at a language institution. Lastly, as English travels worldwide it may affect heritage languages thus Jenkins (2015) proposes, students should be made aware of their native languages as their identities and function it together with English (Jenkins, 2015, p. 176). Ultimately, bilingualism is essential in order to employ English as the international language but not forgetting to maintaining local languages as students’ important cultural asset

Abstract

Tok Pisin, one of the official languages of Papua New Guinea, has evolved into a lingua franca spoken by over six million people in the country. This study aims to analyze the history, sociolinguistic context, as well as the morphological and syntactic features of Tok Pisin, one of the official languages of Papua New Guinea. The research is qualitative descriptive in nature. The population includes Tok Pisin speakers in Papua New Guinea, with a sample of 15 Papua New Guinean students in Melbourne selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through literature analysis and surveys. Data analysis was conducted thematically with triangulation. The findings highlight the significant role of Tok Pisin as a lingua franca connecting more than 800 language groups in Papua New Guinea, despite the diverse opinions among its speakers. Morphologically, the language exhibits strong English influence through the use of affixes "-im" and "-pela," while syntactically, it maintains an SVO word order. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the value of Tok Pisin as a cultural identity and a unifying tool, although a small number of speakers perceive it as a barrier to English proficiency. This research provides critical insights into the dynamics of contact languages in multilingual societies.
