Abstract

This article examines the impact of translanguaging spaces on the language practices and identity constructions of Indonesian English learners. To answer these questions, we employed multiple conceptual frameworks, including the concept of translanguaging, moment analysis, and English global positions. We collected the data through classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and an analysis of written texts from fifth-semester students in the English Literature department at an Indonesian university in Malang. The findings show that translanguaging is highly appreciated by most Indonesian English learners, both in oral presentations and written works. Translanguaging has several pedagogical functions, including improving students' understanding of content, clarifying complex ideas, providing authenticity to stories, and reducing language anxiety. We also found multiple and dynamic identities constructed by participants in different contexts, namely hybrid identity, multilingual identity, laissez-faire liberalism, colonial celebration, and linguistic imperialism. These dynamic identities are primarily influenced by the dominance of monolingual and colonial celebration views in various contexts, despite the increasing use of translanguaging in classrooms.

Abstract

This study examines English discourse construction in an Indonesia's English-language newspapers, The Jakarta Post. The researchers analyzed data over a 15-year period (from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2023), focusing on the core terms of English education and multilingualism. A corpus was created to analyze 79 articles containing 55,047 words, using AntConc (version 4.2.3). The study employed Fairclough's (2003) textual analysis, Pennycook's (2000) classification of English global position, and Holborow's (2012) neoliberalism as theoretical frameworks to categorize language ideologies. The researchers also conducted Foucauldian Discourse Analysis, as explained by Walshaw (2007), to explore power/knowledge. The findings reveal multiple ideologies fashioned by The Jakarta Post's authors, including colonial celebration, language ecology, linguistic imperialism, language rights, and neoliberalism. The results suggest The Jakarta Post has constructed contradictory ideologies. While the articles have grown increasingly concerned about biased language views, they still perpetuate English mainstream discourses. This may be attributed to English hegemony and neoliberalism in various contexts.
