Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat refleksi budaya Jawa yang terkandung dalam tuturan permintaan maaf orang Jawa dalam bahasa Inggris. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan adanya beberapa ciri bahasa Jawa yang muncul dalam pemilihan strategi permintaan maaf bahasa Inggris. Refleksi budaya Jawa terlihat dalam tuturan, yaitu dari segi kompleksitas strategi, penggunaan sapaan, intensifikasi yang memodifikasi IFID dan akuntabilitas dalam bentuk ungkapan menyalahkan diri sendiri. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa penutur bahasa Jawa sebagai masyarakat kolektif dalam tuturannya berusaha untuk menjaga kaidah-kaidah sosial, yaitu tidak menimbulkan konflik dan saling menghormati. Keberadaan tuturan berupa tindakan representatif yang bercirikan budaya Jawa masih terlihat jelas dalam tuturan bahasa Inggrisnya. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa budaya Jawa cenderung tercermin secara signifikan dalam tuturan penuturnya walaupun di dalam bahasa Inggris.Kata Kunci: Latar belakang budaya, strategi permintaan maaf. Refleksi, Karakteristik penutur Jawa, Tindak Tutur AbstractThis study aims to see the cultural reflection contained in the speech act of apologies which is spoken by native Javanese speakers in English.

The existence of a speech in the form of a representative action characteristic of Javanese culture is still evident in his English speech. This shows that Javanese culture tends to be reflected significantly in the speech of its speakers even though it is in English.Keywords: Cultural background, Apology Strategy, Reflection, characteristic Javanese speaker, Speech act

As EFL classroom interaction mostly occur in multilingual or at least bilingual settings, classroom participants has already had languages other than English as part of their language repertoire. They use these languages in their daily life, and oftentimes they are also brought to the classroom interaction. However, some suggests that the ideal EFL classroom is the one where the target language should be fully used. Thus, the practice of using students’ L1 should be discouraged, banned, or at least minimized. Meanwhile, the current trends have challengged this notion by asserting the fact monolingual classroom might be seem a bit unrealistic, especially for low level students, and students’ L1 can be utilized in the clasrrom to help them during the process. This study aims to explore how students’ language repertoire is exploited during the classroom interaction and what functions it serves in the process.

The transcribed data were then analyzed to classify the language repertoire used and to identify its function. The analysis reveals that the language repertoire used in the classroom interaction are varied encompassing the national language, local language, and target language, and each repertoire serves different purposes. Keywords: EFL, classroom interaction, language repertoire
