Dr. Ageila Ali Elabbar

Abstract: Teachers are the conveyers of ideas, practices, and they are the source of knowledge to their learners. Libyan University Teachers (LUTs) are doing that in a challenging context to students whom education process is not stable, at the same time as they (both LUTs& Students) are doing it in a difficult cultural and governmental conditions. LUTs are constrained, as teaching is an activity in which the extent to which the teacher can decide what they are going to do is limited because of the way that things are decided. Libyan English as a foreign language (LEFL) teachers may have extra issues and constraints in that they cannot use a lot of the techniques that teachers of other subjects may use. This is because they have to work in a language that is not native to their learners. Then, if the teacher is not a native speaker either, it will be another constraint. Libyan English as foreign language university teachers (LEFLUTs) may have additional constraints than, for example, an Italian teacher teaching English to Italian students.

For this reason, this study aims at discussing the social and economic characteristic of the informal sector in two cities of Indonesia. These two cities are Bandung in the province of West Java and Yogyakarta, in the province of DI Yogyakarta. The method used to collect the data and information is by using questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The number of sampled in this survey was 100. The study found that most of the street vendors have educational background less than senior high school. They mostly come to the cities partly because of difficulty to get jobs in rural areas. In addition, the source of capital to establish the business activity was from their own source. The daily profit earned from this business activity is mostly for the daily needs and almost no respondents are able to save their income from this business activity. The government faced dilemma to assist these business activities as they may be able to push the growing rural urban migration. Therefore, much remain to be done by the government to seek better solutions for the large number of the street vendors in both cities of Bandung and Jogyakarta under surveyed in particular and in Indonesia in general.
