Language is a means of communication. People can communicate with each other by using language. It brings idea, opinions, thoughts, and feelings. English is the first foreign language in Indonesia which is important to transfer and gain knowledge, science and technology, art and culture, and establish international relationship.
Pei quoted by H. Doughlas Brown explains “Language is a system of communication by sound, operating through the organ of speech and hearing among members of a given community and using vocal symbol possessing arbitrary conventional meaning.” It is clearly stated that language is used to communicate with each other by our organ of speech.
In Indonesia, English is regarded as the first foreign language. That is learned from Elementary School to University, even in kindergarten they have started to study English. It needs teacher skills. The teacher should be able to create an interesting method and technique in order to obtain a good result and avoid the student boredom.
