ACHIEVEMENT OF LEARNING

ENGLISH

English is one of the dominant languages used globally in various aspects. English is

used globally in education, business, trade, science, law, tourism, international relations, health,
technology, etc. Studying English allows students to communicate with citizens of the world

from different cultural backgrounds. Mastering English gives students more opportunities to
interact with various texts. From these interactions, they gain knowledge and learn multiple

skills and human behavior needed to live in a diverse world culture.

General English learning at the Elementary and Middle School levels in the national
curriculum provides opportunities for students to open insights related to themselves, social

relations, culture, and job opportunities that are available globally. Studying English allows
students to gain access to the outside world and understand different ways of thinking. Their

understanding of this socio-cultural and intercultural knowledge improves their critical
thinking skills. By understanding other cultures and their interactions with Indonesian culture,

they develop a deep understanding of Indonesian culture, strengthen their identity, and can

appreciate differences.
