 Personal reflection on learning English
• Did you learn English at primary school?
• Based on your experience, what did you feel on
learning English at primary school?
• How English ideally should be taught?
 English at primary school in Indonesia
• English is as muatan lokal.
• The conditions of languages being used by
students in Indonesia.
• There are around 700 languages in Indonesia 
most students speak local languages such as
Javanese, Bataknese, Sundanese, Balinese, etc
• Most students do not use Indonesian as mother
tongue.
• Indonesian is the “second language” for most
primary schooler.
 English at primary school in Indonesia
• Indonesian is as the medium of instruction in
primary school.
• Students learn subjects (math, science, social
science) at school through English.
• The focus of curriculum is to empower the use of
Indonesian to optimize students skills in learning
other subjects (basic skills such as counting,
social life, etc).
 English at primary school in Indonesia
• As a muatan lokal, it does not mean that English
cannot be taught.
• School can consider whether the students need
English.
• There is a need for people living in Jakarta to
learn English from primary school. Some
schools have English courses.
 Group discussion

English?
• If yes, what do they learn English for?
