ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: This paper aims to examine the status of English with its varieties. This leads to a possible pedagogical movement into non-inner circle Englishes in the teaching of English to Indonesian learners. It makes changes in the areas of a new “place” of NNS teachers, English varieties to be exposed to the learners, in relation to which standard to adopt, and the production models and the production target for communication. NNS teachers will no longer be marginalized by NS teachers in the hiring of English teachers. Which English varieties to learn depends on the purpose of learning English while the standard to adopt would remain one of the inner-circle Englishes. In terms of models for production and production target, they may vary depending on the target community the learners will communicate in English.
