Abstract

Bilingual instruction integrating Indonesian and English has become increasingly prominent in multilingual higher education contexts; however, students’ preferences regarding instructional language use remain underexplored. This study investigated the preferences of Indonesian university students for using Indonesian, English, or both as the medium of instruction in English language classrooms and examined the factors influencing these preferences. Employing a mixed-method sequential explanatory design, data were collected through questionnaires administered to 23 English education students (N = 23), followed by semi-structured interviews with six participants (N = 6). The findings indicated that the students generally preferred bilingual instruction over monolingual approaches. Indonesian was perceived to support comprehension, attention, emotional comfort and classroom participation, while English was associated with academic competitiveness, professional opportunities, and global communication. The study further revealed that students’ preferences were shaped by four interconnected dimensions: self-assurance, identity, glamour, and attentiveness. These findings demonstrated that the students negotiated Indonesian and English as complementary rather than competing linguistic resources within multilingual classroom interaction. The study highlights the importance of more inclusive, learner-centered, and context-sensitive bilingual instructional practices in multilingual higher education settings.

Abstract

This study examines language choice in the film The Architecture of Love by analyzing instances of code-switching and code-mixing in the characters’ dialogue. The research aims to identify the structural types of bilingual language use and to explore the communicative functions they serve in character interaction. Employing a qualitative descriptive design with qualitative content analysis, the study analyzes 92 bilingual utterances found in the film. The findings indicate that code-mixing occurs more frequently than code-switching, with insertion emerging as the most dominant type. These bilingual practices are distributed across various interactional contexts, including professional or intellectual discussions, emotional exchanges, informal conversations, and cultural or artistic discourse. Furthermore, code-switching and code-mixing function as strategic linguistic resources that enable characters to negotiate meaning, express interpersonal relationships, and respond to situational demands. Overall, the study demonstrates that language choice in cinematic dialogue reflects interactional context and communicative purposes, highlighting the role of bilingual practices in shaping identity and social relations in film discourse
