In recent times, it has been quite felt that the majority of students in Indonesia never pays that much attention when it comes to studying English. This could be relegated by some factors such as the teaching methods that are becoming quite stale, the unfamiliarity of the language itself since childhood, or the feelings of how the study itself is not really that important to their life hence no need to actually try learning said subject,
   All of these factors can culminate into this stigma that this subject doesn't need a particular attention as a study and makes them misses out in one of the important subject in studying. Because despite it may not be seems that important at first but with how the world work and as globalization advances further, studying English can become really beneficial as English is one of the top language that's used all around the world.
   So how to overcame that stigma? Well first we need to tackle the factors that are stated above. We can make studying English an enjoyable experience if we're able to experiment using different approach. Rather than using a proper and an emphasis on using certain word for a certain situation why not approach it more casually, casually in the context using English that are more casual so that students can apply the stuff they learn more naturally rather than the template conversations that are frankly way too orchastrized for such a simple task. I don't mean to completely erase said foundation but what I meant here is to lessen it as the students grow in grades and taken much more complex study as they improve.
   We can also ease them with this subject earlier in their life so they be able to understand this subject much more easier. Ways to do that can be introducing them to any media that uses English such as book, film, songs, etc so they can familiarize themselves with this language and makes them able to comprehend the study subject much more clearer just like how we introduce them to Indonesian language.
   I believe that if we're able to establish this kind of foundation in our academic advances, I'm sure that more students will be inclined learning English and I sincerely hope that it can be a reality in the future.
