So, is learning foreign language important for the sake of the advancement of
education in Indonesia? Absolutely. Mastering foreign language is very important to raise
the quality of education in Indonesia, especially English. Because English is an
International language which is used in almost all of the countries in the world. Because
of that, there would be tons of problems that appear for countries that don’t use and teach
English as one of the lessons in teaching and learning process. That’s why English is
learned ever since as early as Elementary grade up to University.
The education in Indonesia or the other countries in the world is also closely
related to the quality of the book. Think of education as a gun, then the book would be
the bullet. a gun wouldn’t be useful without the bullet, and likewise, the bullet would be
totally useless if not for the gun. That’s how close education and book is tied one another.
Looking at this bad example that I mentioned and what caused it, one of the most
considerable factor is education. In the other words, education in general and specifically
Indonesia won’t be worth to be considered as a good quality if English is not on the
subject list.
Remembering how important English is, there have been so many ways that have
been made to make us able to learn it faster, whether it’s by the formal way like school or
non formal way like courses or autodidact. There are also lots of education institution that
utilize something like games to make students interested so that they can understand
English easily. Some competitions are often held in order to measure the ability of
students and also to increase their ability in English through competitive scene, like
English debate, English speech (just like what we’re doing now), etc. All of these are
ways to improve the quality and for the betterment of our Indonesia’s education.
This marks the end of my speech, I apologize for any mistakes that I made. Thank you
very much for your attention, see you next time and may God bless us eternally. And
remember “knowing is nothing, we must apply. Willing is nothing, we must do”.
