ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
A. Definition Of English As Foreign Language
According to Richard and Schmidt (2010: 206) a foreign
language is a language that is not the native language of most
people in a certain country or region(Ratu, 2018). English is a
foreign language that is learned after the mother tongue.English
is also a very widely used international language. Brumfit (2001:
35) english is an international language that it is the most
widespread medium of international communication(Arumawati,
2018). According to Hardjono Rayner (2001: xxv) explains that
English is an international language so that it is a foreign language
that is used throughout the world. Foreign language learning also
exists at all levels of education today (Bhowmik,2015; Motteram,
2013) (Escobar Fandin?o, Mun?oz, & Silva Velandia, 2019). It can be
seen that English is a foreign language or an international
language with angloophones spread across five continents.
English is not only used by anglophone speakers, but is used by
all people in the world, especially people who tend to be modern.
This is because English has the advantage of having a variety of
idioms (special expressions), which are more varied and always
developing.
