English is one of the most popular subjects in the world including in Indonesia.

Nonetheless,
many students have difficulties in learning English because the material and national curriculum
provided at the school are less organized in systematic and structured lessons; thus it becomes a
boring and frightening time to learn english for some students. The main problem faced by the
school students in Indonesia is not on the speaking section but understanding and using grammar
correctly. For example, students who did manage to absorb the categorization implicit in the
terminology were likely to get confused examining the part of speech of a sentence, sentence
forms, language variation and many others though they can speak in english well. All of this
suggests something rotten in the state of grammar teaching which is rarely made precisely how
they work.

By learning English language and Linguistics offered by The Westminister University, i will
enrol in the subjects namely, English Worldwide, Analyzing spoken and written discourse,
Current developments in language teaching and other subjects, which are applicable to: get
cross-cultural understanding of English speaking country, analyse the mistakes of learning
english having been taught up to the present at school, explore TESOL issues which is applicable
for english teacher. These are essential when working as a lecturer of STAIN Watampone,
academician as i held the seminars, practical sessions and workshops, then becoming national
curriculum planner in the next ten year.

As far i am concerned about, the national curriculum of English in Indonesia adopt audio
bilingual and behaviourism approach which neglect the analysis of language. As a result, more
students can speak but less can write. For this reason, i plan to make a well-organized curriculum
through the introduction of the Basic English which is appropriate to the student’s grade with
clear linkage (parts of speech-subject predicate-sentence). Later, i choose to explore this topic in
my future graduate thesis.

Furthermore, i can get the global english learning in the global atmosphere with global partners,
hence i can prepare and influence at least my students and people around the regency of
Watampone in the course place i am teaching now, Star English to face the escalated level of
economic challenges related to the global economic relationship, such as Asian Free Trade Area
(AFTA) by 2015 which requires english as their one trading language. Therefore, i can support
Sulawesi Selatan to compete without any problem in terms of communication among foreign
competitor.

To conclude, my scholarship application in pursuing English Language and Linguistics program

in United Kingdom is an important step of my career to gain great insight about English
language which i would share and develop in my college and english course. The future
objectives of mine in teaching program and reparation of education will help two main focuses
of Indonesia government current plans after all namely promoting quality of human resource and
development of global education.
