Abstract

It is widely known that international tourist destinations, such as Bali, serve as sites where multiple languages co-exist. This linguistic diversity has shaped how local people (speakers) use language in their interactions. However, research on language, in Bali’s tourism context, has treated languages as separate entities. Therefore, this study explored Balinese tourism actors’ experiences and perspectives of their language practice in relation to language ideologies. This study is qualitative in nature, adopting semi-structured interviews with Balinese tourism actors for data collection. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis. This study identified two key findings: (1) translanguaging as an economic and cultural bridge; and (2) translanguaging as a sign of openness. The findings suggest that multilingualism serves as a resource for meaning making, which contradicts the monolingual perspective that sees languages as separate. This study concludes with implications and recommendations for future research.

Abstract

Studies on ideology and multicultural values in English textbooks have been carried out in the last decades. However, studies on foreign-published or imported textbooks used in Indonesian schools have been still scarce in literature. The current research was aimed at investigating the representation of ideology and multicultural values in the English textbooks used in Indonesian schools. This method employed in the study was a critical discourse analysis (CDA) on learning materials contained in English textbooks used in Indonesian secondary schools. The results revealed that the representation of ideology and multicultural values were identifiable through various forms of the culture, culinary topics, tourist attractions, youth lifestyles, flora and fauna, modern life achievement as well as interpersonal interactions. The current research findings offer different perspectives in developing English teaching materials in adjusting the balance of ideological and multicultural stances in shaping the learners’ characters.
