Abstract

English is crucial for success in the globalized world because it is a powerful language: both for transmitting information and as a tool of innovation. Furthermore, this condition has implications for English’s standing as a foreign language in Indonesia. People have an increased interest in learning English, and there is an overall sense of public awareness of the role of English in the global context. The Indonesian government has acknowledged and responded to this problem, so in 1993 the government permitted schools to teach English as a local content subject at the elementary school level through a Decree issued by the Minister of Education. It is an excellent way to help students study English in their youth, hoping that learning at a younger age is better. While government policy and the English curriculum have shifted, elementary school teaching has grown, and these changes have been reflected in how the subjects are presented.
