Abstract

This study investigates the daily life of a student navigating a multilingual language policy at Pesantren Progresif Bumi Sholawat, an Islamic boarding school in East Java. It aims to explore how the use of multiple languages, primarily English, supported by Japanese, Arabic, and Javanese, shapes the student’s communication, identity formation, and emotional adaptation. Utilizing a qualitative methodology with a narrative inquiry approach, the study draws on Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, which emphasizes social interaction and cultural tools as the foundation of language acquisition. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic narrative analysis.  The findings show three key aspects, First, students experience both cognitive and emotional tension while adapting to the English-only policy. Second, support from peers and teachers serves as crucial scaffolding that helps them build confidence and overcame language anxiety. Third, students gradually form a hybrid identity that integrates Pesantren values with global communication competence This research contributes to the field of language policy by foregrounding student voices, affective experiences, and practical directions for enhancing multilingual practices in Islamic boarding schools.

Abstract

This study examines how dialect variation among Javanese speakers in a multicultural community functions as a resource for identity negotiation, social positioning, and group solidarity. Grounded in sociolinguistic and sociocultural perspectives, it investigates how speakers shift between ngoko, madya, and krama in everyday interaction. Using a qualitative case study design involving three participants (n = 3), data were collected through semi-structured interviews and participatory observation. The findings indicate that dialect choice reflects age, social status, and relational proximity, and operates as a symbolic marker of belonging and identity performance. Participants also demonstrate metapragmatic awareness in adapting their speech in intercultural encounters. However, a generational decline in the use of krama reveals tensions between language maintenance and sociocultural change. This study highlights the practical importance of dialect awareness for fostering mutual understanding in multicultural settings and contributes to the discussion of intra-language translingualism, understood as strategic shifting across varieties within a single language to negotiate social meaning and identity.
