Abstract

The educational institution serves as a platform where diverse language ideologies intersect, particularly within multilingual schools. These language ideologies can shape how students perceive and use languages and influence policies and practices within the institution. Understanding and navigating these intersections is crucial for promoting inclusive and equitable language education. This study examines the perception of language ideological contests within the linguistic schoolscape of a multilingual country, specifically Indonesia. This article utilizes a triad model proposed by Lefebvre (1991) and Trumper-Hecht (2010) as its conceptual framework and employs the linguistic landscape as its methodological tool. The analysis focuses on school signs within a multilingual school setting. The findings suggest that Indonesian, English, and Chinese languages are employed within educational environments. The prevailing ideologies observed within this educational environment encompass globalization, ethnic identity, and nationality. These ideologies influence the choice of languages taught and prioritized in the curriculum and the attitudes and expectations toward each language.

Abstract

For employment, industries want recent graduates to have strong technical communication abilities. Therefore, it is important for engineering organizations to have competent technical communicators. As a result, this study looks at how Indonesian polytechnic engineering students assess their own technical communication competency needs in terms of knowledge, abilities, and attitudes toward technical communication in English. A survey on students' perceived needs for technical communication skills received responses from 85 diploma students in various engineering courses at a polytechnic. The study's findings showed that the students' knowledge and abilities about technical communication in English were low intermediate (mean > 3,5 score). In comparison to knowledge and attitudes about technical communication in English, skills in technical communication in English had the lowest mean score. This suggested that the pupils lacked technical English communication abilities. Despite this, the study's findings indicate that students understood the importance of technical communication skills for their future careers. Because need analysis is a continuous process for identifying learning needs, this study has shown that it is worthwhile to review the current needs of the polytechnic engineering students since students' responses could serve as a basis for the improvement of the classroom materials. Finally, this study has recommended that technical communication courses be included to the polytechnic education system since they are crucial for employment in a variety of fields, including engineering.
