in commemoration of National Education, I would like to present my
speech about education in Indonesia under the
title ‘THE IMPORTANT OF ADDING ENGLISH IN EDUCATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF OUR
COUNTRY’
Ladies and
gentlemen
Education is
one of many important things to help fastening economy and technology
development in our country. Science is the key of the advancement of all
countries all the world. Because before technology appeared, knowledge was the
first thing that’s appearing a lot of ideas, until the technology was created.
And along with the development of science, technology even continuously
develops until we can find the technology that we use at this time.
Science is
the key of the advancement of a country. Then a question appears, “HOW TO GET
KNOWLEDGE?”. The answer is only by Education. Education is a tool to get
knowledge. Because no matter how great you are, you will not be able to get
knowledge without EDUCATION!
If we talk
about education, we will also realize about how important the language is in
study and learning process. Without mastering language, it’s impossible for us
to do the process of education well. The ability to state opinion, to understand
the words and to response the other’s opinion are some examples of
understanding language. All of them are included as study and learning process
in education.
So, is learning foreign language
important in Indonesia?
Absolutely. Mastering foreign language is very important
for the quality of education in Indonesia, especially English. Because English
is an International language which is learned and used in almost all of the
countries in the world. Because of that, there would be many problems appear
when a country doesn’t include English as one of the lessons in study and
learning process. That’s why English is learned from Elementary School up to
University.
The
education in Indonesia or the other countries in the world is also much related
to the importance of the book. If we treat the education like a gun, then the
book would be the missile. Where a gun wouldn’t be useful without the missile,
and on the contrary, the missile wouldn’t also be useful without the gun.
That’s what the education and the book look like.
Ladies and
gentlemen
There are so
many books whose language English that have not been translated into
Indonesian. These are the books from the scientists who wrote their expert and
invention only in English. If we use only the book whose language is Indonesia
in education process, we will lack of knowledge because everything that we get
is only from Indonesian book. Means that we must learn English to maximize our
knowledge for the sake of the development of our education.
If only
English was not learned in Indonesia, it’s impossible that Indonesian people
could speak English. As a consequence, our country would have decrease and
would be the matter of other countries’ discussion. In fact, it’s indeed that
English must be said important. For example if we work in a hotel, a bank, a
harbor, an airplane and the others, we need to master English to communicate
with the guests. Furthermore, if our president and his translator couldn’t
speak English, our Country wouldn’t ever join the meeting among the countries
the entire world, because the language that they use is English.
Seeing such
bad examples, thinking about the cause, it must be because of education. In the
other words, shortly, the education in Indonesia and all countries over the
world will not be called has good quality if there is no English subject on the
lesson list. Once again, it’s because of English is an International language
which is very important for the development of our country.
Remembering
how important English is, there have been many ways that have been made to make
us able to learn it faster, whether it’s formal like a school or non formal
like course or autodidact. Even there are so many education places that make
something like games to make students interested and understand English faster.
Some competitions are often also held for the sake of increasing the ability of
students in English, like English debate, English speech, etc. All of these ways are only for the quality of
the education of our country.
Ladies and
gentlemen
Before
ending this speech, let me conclude the essential points of my speech:
1.
Knowledge is
the key of the development of a country
2.
Without
education we wouldn’t get knowledge
3.
The
education in Indonesia wouldn’t be said has a good quality without English on
the schedule.
Finally I
hope all of my explanations have made us understand that English as an
International language is very important for the development of our education.
And that’s
all I can say. Thank you very much for your
attention, see you next time and may Allah the almighty bless us eternally,
amiin.
And remember
“knowing is nothing, we must apply.
Willing is nothing, we must do”
Wassalamu’alaikum
