Abstract
This research aims to analyze various English language learning policies in Indonesia through the lens of public administration, recognizing the imperative of equipping future generations with the linguistic skills necessary to navigate an increasingly interconnected world. Employing a qualitative approach with document analysis techniques, the study scrutinizes various of documents including books, research articles, and curriculum documents. Findings reveal a consistent allocation of resources for foreign language learning in Indonesian curricula, spanning from the earliest iterations in the 1947 curriculum to the present-day emancipated curriculum (Merdeka Belajar). However, there is a discernible trend of diminishing emphasis on language education over time, despite the escalating demands of globalization for multilingual competencies. The discrepancy between the evolving demands of global citizenship and the static nature of language education within the dynamics of Indonesian public administration underscores the need for initiative-taking measures. Practical competencies, supported by participatory contributions from key stakeholders including government, teachers, curriculum developers, and provision of adequate facilities are essential to meet the evolving linguistic demands of an interconnected world. Such measures are pivotal in aligning government policies with the aspirations of the Indonesian nation, fostering intercultural competence, participatory engagement, and competitive public administration practices.
