To fulfill this aim, semi-structured interview was used as the instrument in collecting the data. The data were then analyzed inductively through the phases; recording, transcribing, categorizing, and interpreting. As the results, English teachers and parents had the same perceptions on the deletion of English in elementary school stage. Specifically, they disagreed with the abolished of English in Elementary School, almost the participants, not only teachers but also parents, expected English to be included in the curriculum so that the position of English is a local content in elementary school learning, and if possible English is aligned with other subjects.
