Three reasons why we need learning English for Indonesia. First, Indonesia is surrounded by countries that predominantly use English as their first or second. These countries include Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea. This means that geographic factor becomes the first reason why Indonesia needs to learn English. If someday a citizen traveling to one of the countries mentioned above, sufficient knowledge of English will make it easier to communicate with that person for the local citizens. Secondly, English as a language to be learned for international communication. To be able to communicate with people of different cultural backgrounds and nationalities, English is the main option that is often used in communication. Examples are easily seen in the world of tourism. The tourists who travel in foreign countries commonly use English to communicate with native citizens visited. Third, English language proficiency will facilitate the people of Indonesia to develop insights into knowledge by providing access to knowledge that exist outside of Indonesia. Based on the above three reasons, knowledge of English language for the development of an individual in the country of Indonesia to be an inevitable thing. Like it or not, this one being the subject to be learned by everyone Indonesia. Even if you're not sure will get a chance to go abroad, this knowledge is still needed as well. At a minimum, you need not gobsmacked when watching CNN news broadcasts because there is no translation at the bottom of the television screen or confused while reading the manual use of electronic tools that are only printed in English.
