It is a Must That I Have a Competence in English for Mathematics Education

In this globalization era, English as a universal language is very important for every think especially to communicate with other. Me as a student in Mathematics Education is very need to teach English. English is a important because a lot of references use English, such as the original book from abroad or the reference from Internet is also use English too. Some lecturers use English to give their subject. And English is also a language in mathematics test at my academy.
English is also need in job activity, relating to Internet, computer, international corresponded, international interaction, etc. Beside that when I graduate from mathematics education I would find a job as a mathematics teacher or an official.
Before I get the job I must have a TOEFL test, to evaluate my English capability And If I teach in international school, of course I must be able in English spoken to explain the subject and written to give handout and written test. As an official I use English to operate computer, in the internet interaction. My English must be active international interaction. Now many company searching officer capable to speak, write and read English to support their company.
Beside that to operate the electronic gadget we must be able to read or learn English because the instruction to operate the gadget is in English. And sometime in conversation, the people use English and I have to know meaning of the people say, so I must to can speak English too. Or if I want to read novel which not yet been translated in Indonesian language I also should be able to read English. Beside that If I listening English song. I must know the meaning of the song. And I write the lyrics and try to translate in Indonesian language. So English is very important for every one in this globalization era including too mathematics education.

WHAT I HAVE DONE AND WHAT I WILL DO ABOUT ENGLISH FOR MATHEMATICS

The big question for me about English for mathematics is what I have done and what I will do about English for mathematics? I fell confused to answer this question because I fell not yet do anything is important about English for mathematics.
Now I was study about English for mathematics at Mr. Marsigit class that is English Part II Class. Besides of study about English for mathematics I also get more knowledge from his experience in international. He always given his experience even he teaching in his class and he can be an inspiration for his student. He always tells about his conception and international conception about education in Indonesian.
Maybe I need more much of time for me to can do something for English for mathematics. Which I can do now is must study hard so that I can develop mathematics education in Indonesian and than it can to be equal with international standard.
To proof the progressive education in Indonesian, the government has prepare the facility such as the school with international based and also the teacher which must be understand about English. And to proof this program UNY has open the international class to prepare the teacher so that they ready to teaching in international school.
My hope at the future is can join in this program to make education in Indonesian can be equable with education in other country, because by naturally education in other country is same. That’s all my opinion about what I have done and what I will do about English for mathematics. Thanks for your attentions.
