Abstract

Code-switching has emerged as a prominent linguistic phenomenon in today’s digital communication, especially among public figures aiming to engage diverse audiences. However, few studies have explored code-switching within the context of political and diplomatic communication on social media platforms. This study aims to analyze the types and functions of code-switching found in diplomacy-themed Instagram captions posted by Indonesia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Retno Marsudi. A descriptive qualitative method was applied, using Poplack’s theory (as cited in Romaine, 1995) to identify the types of code-switching, and Leech’s (1974) theory to analyze their communicative functions. The data consisted of Instagram captions published between January and December 2024. The findings revealed that inter-sentential code-switching was the most dominant type (91.67%), followed by intra-sentential code-switching (8.33%), with no instances of tag-switching. In terms of language functions, the captions often served expressive, informative, and directive purposes. These results indicate that code-switching was not used randomly but rather as a deliberate strategy to reach both domestic and international audiences, combining a formal diplomatic tone with personal engagement. Overall, this study contributes to a better understanding of multilingual strategies in digital diplomacy and highlights the intentional use of code-switching in constructing political image and facilitating global communication.

Abstract

This community service program was carried out to strengthen the professional capacity of non-interpreter staffs at Bali Interpreting. Based on the fact that many staffs of Bali Interpreting still lacked adequate mastery of English grammar. The program aimed to improve staff competence in using English within real work contexts through structured learning focused on Present, Past, and Future tenses. The implementation method involved needs assessment, interactive teaching, and both formative and summative evaluations. Pre-test results showed that participants had a basic understanding of grammar with an average score of 77.5, but needed further improvement in sentence structure and communication confidence. After the training, the post-test average increased to 87.5, reflecting significant progress in linguistic skills as well as enhanced confidence in speaking and writing. Overall, the program proved effective in addressing the identified needs and contributed to improving the professionalism of Bali Interpreting staffs.
