By mastering English, we can improve ourselves both in academic and life skills that the outside world needs right now. Based on the explanation above, even though Indonesian is the mother tongue, English must also be taken into account as a second language in everyday life. However it should be noted that English should not completely replace Indonesian, because speak Indonesian properly and correctly in everday life in Indonesia is one form of nationalism.

So, Indonesia needs to apply English to become a second language to face the development of the outside world. Then, what is the meaning of learning English as a second language? Why should we learn English as a second language? What are the obstacles that make us, Indonesians citizens still not able to apply English as a second language ? And the last what are the strategies for learning English as a second language? This will be explained later in the discussion. Content/Discussion 1. The Meaning of Learning English as a Second Language ESL English as a second language ESL is a traditional term for the use or study of the English language by non-native speakers in an English-speaking environment it is also known as English for speakers of other language. English as a second language also refers to specialized approaches to language teaching designed for those whose primary language is not English Nordquist, 2019, for example in Indonesia. A simple way to define language learning is the process which the language capability develops in an individual. Learning language per say takes strategies, and according to Wenden and Rubin, learning strategies can be defined as actions, steps, plans or routines taken by the learners in processing the information they received Hashim, 2018. So, from the combination of these 2 understandings, Learning English as a Second Language is a learning method that refers to specialized approaches to language teaching designed for those whose primary language is not English, like Indonesia, where in the learning process it can be through as actions, steps, plans or routines taken by the learners in processing the information they received. 2. Why should we learn English as a Second Language?

By mastering English, it gives us more opportunities to travel to various parts of the world without being hindered by communication. In addition, by learning English as a second language, it will give us more job opportunities so that we can follow developments in the outside world regarding future careers. 3. The factors that make Indonesians citizens still not able to apply English as a Second Language. In this modern era, mastering English has become a necessity. We as a Indonesians who are born with different mother tongue, there may be some obstacles in learning English as an effort to apply English as a second language in Indonesia. In cases, when spoken English in everyday life, the answers are still stammered, nervous, or may not relate to English conversations. So, here are some factors that make Indonesians citizens still not able to apply English as a Second Language ✓ Environment factor Unwittingly, environment factor cause English to be more difficult to apply as a second language in Indonesia. Sayings from the environment such as “Don’t act like a foreigner” or “Don’t speak English pretentious”, these words make learners who already wants to learn English becomes down and afraid to be ridiculed by their peers. This ridicule and innuendo made their self-confidence lower and they were reluctant to continue learning English. So, this one of the factors that makes English difficult to apply in Indonesia. ✓ Lack of motivation to learn English as a second language Using Indonesian is often used as an excuse to delay learning English. This happens because of a lack of motivation to learn English, so Indonesian citizens are lazy to learn English, even though English is very much needed to deal with the outside world which is growing rapidly. ✓ Too monotonous learning model Currently, technology has developed rapidly, so we can access various kinds of information, including accessing information about learning English. However, most of us only learn English from books and don’t apply English in everyday life rarely speak in English, even though, there are many other learning media to learn English, such as internet, English tutoring on youtube, and social media too. So, this one of the factors that makes English difficult to apply in Indonesia. ✓ There are some English materials that are difficult for some people where the mother tongue is not English English is difficult for some people where the mother tongue is not English because mostly due to its unpredictable spelling and tricky to master grammar. In addition, there are many words in the English language that supposedly mean the same thing, of course this can seem confusing or difficult for some people where the mother tongue is not English. Furthermore, beyond spelling and meaning lies pronounciation, which can also cause confusion those learning English. Therefore, appropriate and fun learning strategies are needed in learning English as a second language. 4. Strategies for Learning English as a Second Language Before going further to strategies for learning English as a second language, here are the basics English that we must understand is a Tenses, tenses or word forms are the most important and fundamental elements for learning English. b Listening, listening is one of the skills or abilities of the English language whose application is to listen to the vocabulary in English sentences.

Even if slowly, if we practice it often, it will make our speaking skills sound fluent like caucasians. In order to achieve the goal of learning English as a second language, in my view, strategies are needed, namely 1. Learn English through various media or sources Because at this time technology is increasingly modern, it allows us to learn something not only from books, but also other media such as social media, Youtube, online English learning applications, etc. By accessing some of these learning media, our knowledge of the material in English will be wider. Learning English with other people native speakers, in addition to training our confidence, also helps improve the quality of learning English as a second language. 2. Practicing English in daily life As in the previous citation that the learning process it can be through as actions, steps, plans or routines taken by the learners in processing the information they received. With that citation, we need to put what we have achieved in learning English as a second language into everyday life. For example, learning to write using English and practicing English in communicating training speaking and listening skills. Conclusion Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that learning English as a second language is very necessary. This is because in this global era, English has successfully placed its position as a language in multicultural and communication, as a language in international business communication, and as a language in the international language of research. English is also estimated spoken by 400 million people as a mother tongueand an additional 2 billion as a second and/or foreign language.

Ratna RintaningrumListening is not as easy as people think, particularly when the English language has status as a foreign language that is different from a second language as well as first language. For many reasons, foreign language learners find it difficult to listen to English. Although some language learners find it easy to comprehend listening, there are still more learners who have got difficulties in listening than others who do not. There must be some factors that hinder listeners to do it well. Although listening is categorized as a receptive skill, it is an active process. Listeners have to focus on what they are hearing since this involves many mental processes. If a question is asked how many people in a foreign language setting are able to listen very well?’. For the first sight, the answer is not many. However, when a lot of trainings are conducted, the answer will be different. This study documents some reasons why students have got difficulties in listening in English in order that some assistance to help the learners of English can be provided in strategic ways.

It does so by way of critical interpretation of accounts of the global spread of English published in five American-owned prestige press publications. Part of a 275-text data pool, the texts analyzed in this article wrap the story of the global hegemony of English around Anglo-Franco competition and rivalry.
