"ABSTRACTThis is a reflection and field trip report about the scene of teaching and learning Arabic as a foreign language in Oman, as part of a project to write about the same topic in different Arabic speaking countries, hoping It may be useful for foreign learners of Arabic. The visit was between 19th to 25th of February 2018 and financed by the research money allocated by Osaka University to the writer. The traditional places to study Arabic as a foreign language were usually -related with Cairo-Egypt, Damascus- Syria, Amman-Jordan, and Tunis- Tunisia. Oman is joining the race to attract learners for two reasons+ the possibility to learn the dialect of a Gulf country; and after the Arab spring it became difficult to visit some countries for safety reasons."

"In order to understand the way English is used and seen in Indonesia today, it is useful to know something about how historical, political, socio-cultural and linguistic factors have shaped its status and functions over the last century. The use of English in Indonesia has developed in the context of post-colonial educational competency building, and more recently the need to support development ? in particular its role in state education. However, attitudes of some policy makers and commentators towards the language have often been ambivalent, expressing fears of its power to exert negative cultural influences. The special status of English as a global language with many potential varieties that might pose as models for Indonesia also poses the question of which one would be right for the country. The paper looks at these educational and policy issues, and also gives some suggestions about the future. "
