Englishes is the new image of this current era
3.1 Learning and Teaching English as international language (EIL) Controversies and Possibilities From the results, we cultivated that the students learned these topics as knowledge, embracing bright future of learning English, getting to know other peoples and countries, getting good experience with international friends, learning about their own country, well understanding the function of English, and fulfil the students’ needs
The other side, this EIL implementing approach they were found had deficit perspective toward themselves; they did not know about Englishes since it was never taught by their teachers, they had bad environment from their community, they had preferences and avoid Englishes as an error and facilitation and resources from the school as the additional obstacles
Summary
Englishes is the new image of this current era. It is not a singular noun anymore, English. It becomes plural variation which is embracing the variation of nation English or English variation among languages in the world. Understanding the reality of English nowadays seems contrast with the learning and the teaching English in Indonesia case. I said this because when I was learning English in school as students and my bachelor degree as English teacher training. Acitya: Journal of Teaching & Education Vol 3 No 2 2021
