“…In addition, they assumed that non-native English lecturers did not prioritize the development of communicative competence during the learning process. This might be also the case for this current research context in which commonly English teachers or lecturers in Indonesia focused their teaching on grammar rather than on communicative competences (Nernere, 2019), resulting in the slow development of fluency acquisition.…”

The main objective of this study was to identify the attitudes of Indonesian students towards studying English vis-a-vis their readiness to compete in the fifth industrial revolution era. The data obtained from a four-point scale questionnaire administered to 216 participants from 12 universities across Indonesia were analyzed through a descriptive case study procedure. The findings showed that even though most students had positive attitudes towards EFL learning ( = 3.29) as well as towards Industry 5.0 ( = 3), they did not have the confidence to affirm that they have the instrumental competencies required by the tight competition of Industry 5.0, especially English competencies ( = 2.37). These findings indicate that despite their positive attitudes towards EFL learning, Indonesian students would be possibly not yet ready for Industry 5.0 in terms of their English proficiency. Therefore, it is suggested that policymakers and all education stakeholders take the necessary measures to improve the students’ English skills to ensure that they will be graduates who match the demands of Industry 5.0.
