Learning English is already an obligation in this era of modernization. Moreover, with the
development of the world of information and the internet, everything can be quickly

of information, so as not to be behind the times, then the minister of nationalIa

hy ucation also has required elementary school children to learn English. Perhaps this is
different from a few years earlier.

entrepreneurs certainly want their goods to be exported abroad. The students who are
now at the level of S1 also want to deepen his studies to S2 level abroad, and so on. In

other nations to live in this modern era. Therefore, in interacting a language is required,
