In order to understand English, language ecologies, and globalization in situ, I triangulated these findings with language and education policy creation and negotiation at micro-, meso- and macro- levels, (Blommaert, 2005 Hornberger & Hult, 2010 McCarty, 2011 Pennycook, 2001, 2010). From my position as teacher-researcher and insider-outsider in an undergraduate English Department and the community surrounding the university, I engaged in reflections with students and educators in examining local language ecologies needs for and access to English language resources and how English majors negotiated "double positionalities" as both members of a global community of English speakers and experts in local meaning systems within which English forms played a role. This ethnographic study of language use and English language learners in Central Java, Indonesia examines globalization processes within and beyond language processes of language shift and change in language ecologies and critical and comprehensive approaches to the teaching of English around the world.
