ENGLISH TEACHERS’ BELIEFS
TOWARD THE USE OF INDONESIAN IN ENGLISH CLASS

Abstract
This study raised a problem about the influence of English teachers’ beliefs toward
the use of Indonesian in English classroom. Then, the purpose of this study is to find out
three English teachers’ beliefs toward the use of Indonesian in English class. These three
English teachers are teachers in one senior high school in Salatiga. Therefore, the question in
this study is: “What are the three English teachers’ beliefs toward the use of Indonesian in
English class?” Besides, there are three major sources of teacher’s beliefs that influence
his/her beliefs toward the language use. They are: (1) experience as a language learner, (2)
experience with schooling, and (3) experience as a teacher and what work best. Then, to get
the data, this study used observation and semi-structured interview. The result of this study
shows that all three sources above affect the three English teachers in using Indonesian. Their
beliefs were that using Indonesian can make students understand more about the material; can

help English teachers to explain some difficult expressions, vocabulary, and materials; and
can unite the differences of students’ background knowledge.
Key words: English teachers’ beliefs, Indonesian (language), English classroom
