Abstract

This paper argues the significance for adopting English as a Lingua Franca in the teaching of English and proposes three points for its adoption. To translate this big idea into practice, the three components to take are linguistics researches, English teacher education, and English language teaching in the field. The linguistic researches serve to lay foundation and construct understanding of ELF in the Indonesian context. The English teacher education plays its role to disseminate researches and knowledge of ELF to teacher educators and student teachers. The working together of the two elements will manifest in the field where the core practices of ELF truly materialize.
