Abstract
This study raised a problem about the influence of English teachers’ beliefs toward the use of Indonesian in English classroom. Then, the purpose of this study is to find out three English teachers’ beliefs toward the use of Indonesian in English class. These three English teachers are teachers in one senior high school in Salatiga. Therefore, the question in this study is: “What are the three English teachers’ beliefs toward the use of Indonesian in English class?” Besides, there are three major sources of teacher’s beliefs that influence his/her beliefs toward the language use. They are: (1) experience as a language learner, (2) experience with schooling, and (3) experience as a teacher and what work best. Then, to get the data, this study used observation and semi-structured interview. The result of this study shows that all three sources above affect the three English teachers in using Indonesian. Their beliefs were that using Indonesian can make students understand more about the material; can help English teachers to explain some difficult expressions, vocabulary, and materials; and can unite the differences of students’ background knowledge.
