CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
A. Concept of Teaching and Learning English as a Foreign Language
English is prime language in the world. It is used in many countries as native language, second language and foreign language. In conclusion, English is one of international
languages. Patel and Jain state that “Foreign language is the language where the
secondary environment is not observed and the people of linguistically foreign societies use such language”.
6
It means that English is the language used in the world as a mother tongue or language capable of uniting communication between the
worlds population, use English in communication with others in the world. According to Jeremy English as a foreign language is generally taken to apply the
students who are studying general English at school and institutes in their own country or as transitory visitors in a target language country.
7
It means that English is generally used only for teaching students who are learning English, but the
importance of the English language requires every student to be able to use English. The English teacher should be able to create a real situation that can be used to
support learning and teaching process in order that the students are able to use English naturally for communication. The students should be put into situation that
they can use English for communication both in written and spoken forms.
