Penyebaran Bahasa Inggris di Indonesia dimulai setelah lengsernya Presiden Republik IndonesiaSoeharto pada zaman Pasca-Orde Baru. Pada saat itu pula, banyak kata-kata atau ungkapan dalam bahasa Inggrisyang mempengaruhi penggunaan bahasa Indonesia di dalam setiap aspek kehidupan, termasuk media massaseperti internet, televisi, radio dan lain sebagainya. Pada akhirnya, bahasa Inggris pun mempengaruhi sebagianbesar orang Indonesia terutama bagi para remaja metropolitan di Jakarta yang bahasa percakapan sehari-harinyabergaya kebarat-baratan. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis ingin menjelaskan bagaimana bahasa Inggris seringkalidisisipkan di dalam percakapan bahasa Indonesia, yang tentunya memiliki tujuan tersendiri. Kita dapatmenjumpai percakapan seperti itu dalam pergaulan kaula muda Jakarta yang mendefinisikan diri mereka sebagaianak gaul. Selain itu, penulis juga akan menjabarkan bagaimana kaula muda ini mengidentifikasi diri merekapada situasi tersebut. Oleh karena itu, pengaruh bahasa Inggris ini dapat terhubung dengan aspek-aspek budayamengenai kehidupan kaula muda Jakarta sejak zaman Soeharto sampai saat ini.ABSTRACT The spread of English in Indonesia began after the President Soeharto?s fall or pasca-Orde Baru (post-

New Order). At that time, many English words affected Indonesian language and bombarded the use of

Indonesian language in every aspect. This includes electronic media such as, the internet, television, radio, etc.

and printed media like newspaper and magazine which become media for the spread of English in Indonesia.

Eventually, this foreign language affects most of Indonesian people, especially the Jakarta metropolitan

teenagers whose daily conversations are really westernized. In this research, I want to explain how English is

frequently asserted in Indonesian language conversations for several reasons. We can find the insertion of

English among Jakarta metropolitan teenagers who identify themselves as gaul (socialized) people. Besides, I

also want to explain how these teenagers identify their identities given this situation that has been a phenomenon

for years. Thus, this can be connected to the cultural aspects that study the Jakarta metropolitan teenagers?
