In global community, using English to create mutual understanding among the community members results that English is positioned as a dominant language in the world. The domination of English may affect on the existence of local languages of the countries where English is not the national / main language. In the countries like Indonesia, English is a foreign language. As a foreign language, English is learnt not acquired and at first it was used not as prominent as first or second language. Up to now, It has been used in a special occasion among other things, especially in formal situation. Therefore, not all Indonesian people can speak English well.
However, English is getting stonger and stronger. The recent tendency shows that English is not only used in a specific moment but also in daily communication especially in global era like today. People communicate not only with other people from their home countries but also with those from abroad. This makes English become much more dominant, while local languages get more threatened.
The threatening condition may affect the vitality of local languages. In this occasion, the question about the vitality of local languages is important to discuss. This topic can be investigated from different perspectives in linguistics either micro or macro one.
