Abstract

The purpose why learners decided to invest in learning English was mostly due to the perceived capitals that bring them the benefits for their future career. This research mainly focused on Norton 's investment theory and Bourdieu 's capital theory, this research explores the degree to which a group of students at Sriwijaya University view English as a capital for their perceived benefits in the future. In the context of the study, the writer explores the relationship between English language learning and capital from the background of globalization concerning the English language and the discussion of the development of English education in Indonesia. This study includes interviews with six participants who, in their high school and college, studied English as a foreign language, building on their experience of learning English to provide an overview of the transfer of the English language to cultural capital towards their English language investment. From narrative inquiry, the results showed: (a) The participants' factors in participating in English language learning processes are related to the presumed return or specific future gains on their investment, (b) When participants are committed to their investment in English, they may have various ways to improve their knowledge of learning English for a particular reason, (c) The possibilities of converting English into cultural capital must be understood within the scope of their social capital, together with the social community in which they lived. The findings highlight that the most contributing factor that motivated participants to invest in their learning that English was the employment factor. They claimed that having great English language skills will aid their work later on. The participants also placed more effort into their investment in learning English to obtain good English language skills, along with the support of the community in which they lived.
