approximately one billion other people around the world who are involved in the same

language as a means of communication , and social as well as a symbol of humanity . By
using the language a person can make statements , convey facts and knowledge , explain or
report something , and maintaining social relationships between the users of the language .

CHAPTER II
THEORY AND DISCUSION
2.1 why should English
English language is referred to as a universal language. That is the language that is often
used to communicate in different countries.In general English is divided into 2 IE, british and
American. And usually people in various countries put on the American version of English. In
addition to communicating in English language also plays an important role in finding a decent
job that two years will face free market of AFTA.Although there is still a language that can be
used as an international language. There are several reasons why the English language is used as
an international language:
1. Historical Factors
United Kingdom known as the country of inmperealis, where in the 17th century – 19
United Kingdom has occupied 2/3 of the Earth. Automated many countries using English as the
official language. In addition, an independent State under British nationality makes the English
as the everyday language.
2. order of the language
Language of the United Kingdom has an extensive language order and tidy, so it is easy
to learn and apply. Indonesia also has the actual order of the language as well as with the United
Kingdom, only returned to the first factor had been the United Kingdom into the community
because the Commonwealth of Nations formed by the United Kingdom.
3. more advanced developing era
United Kingdom is known to have a more advanced civilization. Often new thoughts
emerge from there. The United Kingdom's position is strong in the eyes of International and is
considered one of the main direction of civilization. Logically, if we want to learn from the
expert, of course we have to understand the language that he use.

2.2 english now a days
Nowadays english language holds an important role in the life of the global community.
English langugae has now publicly acknowledged as the international language that has been
domiciled in various industrial fields. Be it politics, economics, or art and culture. English
language has invaded all sectors and dominated the pop culture society, the majority of the
content of the (www) is written in english language. even now In a lighter perspective, we can
see the development role of english language in pop culture society young Indonesia. The
entertainment industry been filled by many English language content.
Thus, it is necessary to realize the importance of education English language for us,
Indonesia, society for future provision and careers that will or are currently living. Now, the
global competition is getting tougher on Indonesia. By employ foreign labor force, population,
we must seek more actively again in order to compete with the expat. Later, the foreign
companies who invest in Indonesia growing a lot, and certainly they opened the opportunity to
work in their company, especially to the people who can speak in english language.
Education industry has realized the importance of the role English language in Indonesia.
International schools started many we see in every corner of Jakarta, and in some other major
cities. English language curriculum in schools nationwide have also been developed and/or
renewed each year for current community needs. Courses of English language from a different
world, or locally owned lots are found in every town. With a price range of different courses,
language learning is available to any English language among the public.We Can’t denied the
role of English language, particularly in Asian countries will continue to grow with over time.
And similarly, in Indonesia, the English language will continue to play an important role in our
daily lives.
2.3 the development of the english language
The ability of English-speaking communities in Indonesia is recognized is still very
minimal. According to a study conducted from 2007-2009, which was held by an institution of
8. 7
the English-speaking communities can be inferred Indonesia world number 34 of the 44
countries that have a mother tongue other than English.
Indonesia still lose much with neighbouring Malaysia which was ranked 9th. Many of
the reasons underlying the community by Indonesia in learning the English language, as it is
difficult to learn or too complicated, feel that English is not too important, or for people who are
old it's too late to learn English. Though English is the language which is very important and
must be mastered by the community and not of age, especially for people who are looking for
jobs or who already have a job.
Many large or small companies or Government agencies that demand a person to be
proficient in English. In the advertisements cover much of the work that lists the applicants
mastered the English language. English should be very overwhelmed because English is an
international language of the world. This language is used to communicate and interact within
the SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY exchanges and cooperation in business with entrepreneurs
from other countries. Job opportunities for someone who mastered the English language is very
wide open received work in companies or private institutions or the Government. It is certain
also can get a good position in the company or the institution. Without English difficult for
someone in getting a good job.
Gradually the country Indonesia will use a system like other developed countries, the
global market is where all people in different countries can work in Indonesia regardless of
profession, because in the year 2012 is still foreign workers in Indonesia are the top position only
example Supervisior, General Manager, Managing Director, etc. Today, able and adept at
mastering English is a plus because every companies requirements which must be owned by
someone of workers or employees of the company especially if international scale.
The importance of new English-speaking consciousness it’s just realized by someone
after searching or finding scholarships info workers requiring English language proficiency
either oral or written. One of the requirements that must be owned by someone to get a job both
on the international and foreign scholarship should have A minimum TOEFL score requirements
that must be achieved is 550
