Abstract
The English Proficiency Index (EPI) ranking released by Education First (EF) shows that Indonesian EPI falls under Vietnam in 2016 and commits a decreasing trend since 2011. Besides, other EFL-countries, e.g., Belgium and Argentina, could reach the 11th and 19th world ranking in the same year. These phenomena showed that Indonesian had problems in improving English language proficiency. Therefore, this paper is aimed at; (1) pointing out the factors affecting EPI from social-cultural, legal and educational perspectives, (2) factors affected by EPI, and, (3) recommendations for improving EPI based on the other EFL-countries with high EPI.
Keywords: English Language Proficiency Index (EPI), EFL-countries
Education First (EF)发布的英语水平指数(EPI)排名显示,2016年印尼的英语水平低于越南,自2011年以来呈下降趋势。此外,其他efl国家,如比利时和阿根廷,可能在同一年达到世界排名第11位和第19位。这些现象表明印尼语在提高英语水平方面存在问题。因此,本文的目标是;(1)从社会文化、法律和教育等方面指出影响EPI的因素;(2)EPI受影响的因素;(3)借鉴其他EPI高的EPI国家的EPI改善建议。关键词:英语语言能力指数(EPI)
