A BOOK REVIEW: THEORY AND PRACTICE OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING IN INDONESIAN CONTEXT

Abstract

Few days before I had my thesis examination, I met my
Professor. He offered me to type some manuscripts to be published in
a book. With pleasure, I accepted his offer. By the time I read the
manuscripts, I got lots of information about English Language
Teaching in Indonesia. Finally, the time comes; and the manuscripts
are compiled into a book entitled "The Teaching of English as a
Foreign Language in Indonesia." This book is actually a compilation
of manuscripts written by Bambang Yudi Cahyono and Utami
Widiati, two professors at English Department of State University of
Malang. There are 9 chapters in this book in which the content is about
English Language Teaching in the Indonesian context. Therefore, in
this review, I will discuss the contents of the book, as well as highlight
the benefits of this book related to English Language Teaching in
Indonesia.
