Jakarta: Department of English Education, Faculty of Teacher and Education University Muhammadiyah Prof. DR. Hamka, 2018. This study aims to determine the existence of in-service teachers' perceptions of variations in English for teaching materials in the context of EFL in Indonesia. The research method used by researchers is a mixed method research with explanations featuring descriptive analysis of quantitative data and in-depth understanding through qualitative data with Convenient Sampling. Quantitative data collection was modified from Xiao Zhang's perception theory (2021). The quantitative data is in the form of a questionnaire with an open-ended question. In quantitative with the validity test on the Likert scale, there are nine questions, and there are five valid questions, open-ended questions it has five questions. The reliability test using the Excel formula obtained 0.61, meaning it has a reliable instrument. The qualitative data was based on seven artificial questions supporting the quantitative data. This research brings this issue to teachers who attended a teacher professional development program in a university in Indonesia. Thirty-two teachers participated in obtaining quantitative data, and five teachers contributed voluntarily to the interview session. The results show that in-service teachers feel undisturbed if there are variations in English in education. However, they did not include variations of English in the teaching materials; this would confuse them if they included more than one variety of English. However, they only introduce or make variations of English as knowledge for students. In-service teachers use teaching materials provided by the school in the form of textbooks.
