The following passage is for questions number 57-60.

    For the last two decadesthe establishment of bilingualism taking English language as one of the target languages has become the main concern of expanding English speaking countries including Indonesia on the grounds that English serves as the global language which is widely used as a means of communication practices both spoken and written in various fields such as technology, education, business, economy, tourism, social affairs and the like. The establishment of bilingualism is not only due to the cultural and linguistic diversity within the countries, but also the growing number of the global mobility of the people to be bilinguals at all levels of society to adjust the global context. There is an evidence based on a research in 1997 that the establishment of bilingualism which includes English and another language reach 235 million people worldwide and that the two thirds ofthe children grow up in the environment of multilingualism. This-suggests that English becomes the main menu of the establishment of being bilinguals across countries.

    The establishment of bilingualism including English as one of the targeted languages is rationalized by the nature of English which serves as a leading language which is dominantly used as a device to document and communicate the development of the issues of information and technology, business, tourism, and education in particular, which drive people that they could be actively involved in the global context competition. This triggers every country in the world including Indonesia to be seriously concerned about the establishment ofthe bilingualism for its citizens in order that Indonesian people are able to cope with global communication distractions due to their insufficient English language proficiency which directly or indirectly retards the attainment of the development of the issues of information and technology, business, tourism, and education which grow very rapidly.
