The current issue of significant concern among literacy educators is whether English as a foreign language (EFL) literacy needs to be maintained as a local content or a compulsory subject in Indonesian primary schools. In fact, the learning of English literacy has become a trend in many major cities in Indonesia, including in Palembang, South Sumatra. Various experimental studies and surveys on learning EFL literacy have been carried out with varying results. Some researchers reported success but others claimed that they have not been able to make a difference in terms of the learners’ achievements due to the minimum fulfillment of the specified criteria. This paper highlights the importance of EFL literacy learning for young learners both as opportunities and challenges to live in the global era and to have ownership of literacy skills from young age for the nation’s competitiveness in the future.
