ABSTRACT This article reports one part of a larger study, exploring the global and local English needs in nine secondary level schools in several Indonesian contexts (i.e. Sumatera, Sulawesi, and East Nusa Tenggara). The study investigates: 1) teachers and students perceived understanding of the existence of English in their local contexts; 2) opinions of their current local and global needs of English in today’s globalized era; and 3) their opinion on the teaching and learning of English. Data were collected from questionnaires and interviews. The results show that students in different contexts have slightly different views and perceptions of English use and how it needs to be learned and taught for their current and future needs of English. Although slightly different in their perceptions of needs, there seems to be a coordinated understanding of English needs between the students and teachers. The findings also indicate that there is a growing awareness of the need to teach the communicative aspects of English in relation to students’ activities online. Therefore, the teaching of English needs to be conducted by providing more English exposure, integrating blended learning, adopting English for Specific Purposes approach, and teaching pragmatics knowledge and intercultural skills.

印尼语境下的全球英语需求本地飞机

摘要本文报道了一项较大研究的一部分，该研究探讨了印尼一些环境（即Sumatera，Sulawesi和East Nusa Tenggara）的9所中学的全球和本地英语需求。该研究调查：1）师生认为在当地情况下对英语存在的理解；2）对当今全球化时代他们当前对本地和全球英语的需求的看法；3）他们对英语教学的看法。数据收集自问卷和访谈。结果表明，不同背景下的学生对英语使用的看法和看法略有不同，对于他们当前和将来对英语的需求，应该如何学习和教授英语。尽管他们对需求的看法略有不同，学生和老师之间似乎对英语需求有了协调的了解。调查结果还表明，人们越来越意识到有必要就与学生在线活动相关的英语进行交流教学。因此，英语教学需要通过提供更多的英语知识，整合混合学习，采用针对特定目的的英语方法以及教授语用学知识和跨文化技能来进行。
