However, raising English bilingual children for non-native English speakers while living in their homeland could be a challenge and would need a special language approach especially for whom whose home countries treat English as a foreign language,such as Indonesia. This study explored family language policy of three native Indonesian families who have been bringing uptheir children using English as their home language. The intention of the study is simply to reveal their language practices and the factors that promote these families choosing English as language of their family as this language practice is not the natural practices of families in wider community. Through in-depth interviews, observations and questionnairesto the parents and the children, the study was able to reveal how both languages were used in these families in which there were predominant usage of English and a very limited usage of Indonesian. Although all families admitted that theydid not implement any conscious language policy norspecific strategyat home, the parentshad made decision before the children were born to use English as the language they speak to their children, and also all parents have been exposing their childrenonlyto English environments. The children speak Indonesian only to their non-English speaking extended families for example to their grandma and cousins, andalso to domestic staffs such as maids and drivers.The families have shifted their historical family language from Indonesian only to English-Indonesian bilingual, however the third generation is potentially loosing their Indonesian and shift into Englishonly speakers.
