Abstract

Both Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) have to adapt their goals, materials, and modes to anticipate the appearance of ?new legacy? towards new variants of English. The increasing numbers of English varieties has offered a shift of English teaching goal, i.e., from enabling the learners to possess communicative competence (CC) to bringing up the learners with intercultural competence (ICC), the ability to maintain the intelligibility (termed by Smith, 1992) between or among the interlocutors when communicating. It requires knowledge about universal cultural dimensions, knowledge about cultural specifics, and knowledge about personal behavior patterns. This paper attempts to present reasons and facts why English becoming Global language (see Crystal 2003), how to synchronize English teaching goals in Indonesia with global English, what relevant teaching materials to be taught, and how or what techniques to use. It will elaborate some theories underpinning the change of paradigm, i.e., the Communicative into ICC. Keywords: communicative competence, intercultural competence, intelligibility
