Abstract

In the history of English teaching-learning in all part of the world, there are three kinds of attitudes, first resistance and rejection, second acceptance and assimilation, and third pragmatic utilization. Nations enriched with the cultures and values of Islam have necessarily undergone the teaching learning contexts influenced by those three attitudes. The trend is that the attitude of pragmatic utilization has gained more popularity as the stigmatization of English as the language of occupation and Biblication has faded throughout modernization. Many Moslem Nations, such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, have even multiplied the effects of that pragmatic utilization by referring to their local variations of English as Islamic English. Indonesia, as the biggest Moslem nation in the world, will definitely be influenced or ideally influence the development of this Islamic English. This paper aims at giving clearer picture of the English teaching-learning process in Indonesia in relation to the position of English and the attitudes shared by teachers and students on English and the potentials that Indonesia needs to explore to actively involve in the development of the Islamic English. Keywords: pragmatic utilization, Islam, Islamic English.
