Abstract

This study examines the challenges and strategic opportunities in safeguarding Maluku’s local languages as essential cultural heritage and intergenerational knowledge systems. Despite their role as mother tongues and carriers of oral traditions, these languages face rapid decline due to shrinking numbers of active speakers, disrupted transmission processes, limited educational integration, and fragmented policy implementation. Adopting a qualitative approach that combines policy analysis and linguistic ethnography, the research focuses on selected Maluku communities representing varying levels of language vitality. Data were gathered through policy and curriculum document analysis, in-depth interviews with policymakers, educators, elders, and youth, and participant observation of language practices across formal and informal domains. The findings highlight a misalignment between national and regional language policies, inadequate educational implementation, and weak community involvement, collectively accelerating language shift toward Indonesian and foreign languages. Nevertheless, grassroots initiatives , such as school-based programs, community literacy activities, and adat-driven revitalization , offer promising foundations for preservation. The study proposes an integrated model involving policy reform, pedagogical innovation, and community-based strategies to strengthen language vitality. Its novelty lies in the multidimensional framework combining top-down and bottom-up approaches in Maluku, a linguistically rich but understudied region. The study contributes to sociolinguistics, language policy, education, and cultural sustainability scholarship.

Abstract

This study investigates how local linguistic features and perceptions of standardness influence academic writing among university students in eastern Indonesia. Although Indonesian functions as the national academic language regulated by KBBI and PUEBI, the local Malay variety—Bahasa Melayu Ambon—retains strong social and cognitive functions in higher education. The research examines the linguistic characteristics of this variety in students’ academic texts, explores students’ perceptions of their language use, and analyzes the sociolinguistic implications of the gap between national norms and local practices. Using a qualitative descriptive approach within a sociolinguistic and language ideology framework, data were drawn from 15 academic texts and 10 interviews with Sociology students at a state university in Ambon. Analysis identified systematic lexical, morphological, syntactic, and orthographic features (e.g., beta, katong, dong, su, mo, seng ada) and applied Woolard and Schieffelin’s framework to interpret language beliefs. Findings reveal that students internalize local forms as standard Indonesian, reflecting a “local standard ideology” reinforced by limited academic writing instruction and dominant local norms. The study contributes theoretically by expanding sociolinguistic inquiry to written academic texts, methodologically by combining textual and perceptual data, and practically by informing localized academic literacy programs in multilingual settings.

Abstract

This article explores how Indonesia’s national language policy—which designates Bahasa Indonesia as the primary medium of instruction—is negotiated within local classroom practices in a Sundanese-speaking context. The study was conducted at SMP Negeri 3 Simpenan, Sukabumi, West Java, employing a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and curriculum document analysis. Thematic analysis was applied to identify patterns of interaction between Bahasa Indonesia and Sundanese in the learning process. Findings reveal both tension and adaptation between formal policy and local practice. Teachers often relied on Sundanese to clarify complex materials, while official instructions remained in Bahasa Indonesia. Students were more responsive to Sundanese in everyday interactions but also acknowledged the importance of mastering Bahasa Indonesia. Translanguaging strategies—dynamic shifts between languages—proved effective in enhancing conceptual understanding while maintaining students’ linguistic identity. The study underscores that national policy is not rejected but rather adapted through context-sensitive local practices. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on the interaction between national and local languages in classroom settings, an underexplored area compared to studies emphasizing Bahasa Indonesia and foreign languages. By presenting the Sundanese context, the study highlights Indonesia’s broader multilingual realities and advocates for more flexible language policies. This research contributes to the fields of education, language, and literature by providing empirical evidence of translanguaging as a pedagogical strategy and recommending policies responsive to local linguistic needs.

Abstract

This study examines the sociocultural dimensions of early literacy practices in rural Indonesia, addressing the limited understanding of how home and community literacies intersect with formal schooling in marginalized contexts. Despite national efforts promoting standardized literacy instruction in Bahasa Indonesia, children’s literacy development in Negeri Suli, Central Maluku, remains deeply shaped by the social, cultural, and religious life of the community. The study aims to explore how home, church, and school literacy events interact and how these interactions influence children’s early reading and writing experiences. Employing a qualitative ethnographic design, data were gathered through classroom and home observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers, parents, and Sunday school leaders, and analysis of local literacy artifacts. The findings reveal that literacy learning in Suli is primarily cultivated through religious and communal activities such as home prayers and church gatherings, which contrast sharply with the print-based, decontextualized literacy valued in schools. This discontinuity marginalizes children’s home literacies and limits their classroom engagement. The study’s novelty lies in situating sociocultural literacy theory within a non-Javanese, rural Christian community, highlighting faith and collective life as mediating forces in literacy development. Theoretically, it expands global understandings of literacy as a culturally situated practice, and practically, it informs inclusive, community-based pedagogical models for literacy education in diverse Indonesian contexts.

Abstract

Language functions not merely as a means of communication but as a social arena where gender and religious identities are continuously negotiated and redefined. This study analyzes how language practices among students at Pattimura University reflect and construct social ideologies related to gender and religion within academic and everyday interactions. Using a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach within a sociocultural linguistics framework, data were collected through classroom observations, informal conversations in campus public spaces, social media interactions, and in-depth interviews. The analysis followed three stages: textual analysis, discursive practice analysis, and social practice analysis. Findings reveal that address terms and religious expressions, such as “abang/babang” and “bung/bu” for male students, “caca” and “ussy” for female students, and faith-based utterances in daily interactions, serve as linguistic markers of intercommunity identity. These practices demonstrate linguistic accommodation as a strategy for maintaining social harmony while preserving symbolic boundaries between groups. Moreover, gendered positioning emerges as male students often dominate conversational spaces, whereas female students negotiate social positioning through more subtle discursive strategies. The study’s novelty lies in introducing the concept of Interfaith Gendered Discourse, which highlights the simultaneous intersection of gender and religion in linguistic practice. It calls for strengthening critical cross-identity literacy in higher education and expanding sociolinguistic inquiry into multicultural contexts of Eastern Indonesia.
