“…Balinese script conveys a symbolic function which does not represent the Balinese language. Mulyawan et al (2022) found similar proof that Balinese scripts transliterate the Roman-written words on the signs. Figure 8 presents examples of two commercial outdoor signs with Balinese scripts.…”

The article reveals the place semiotic elements as a part of geosemiotic analysis of the commercial outdoor signs in Singaraja city and Lovina tourist area in north Bali. It covers the signs' code preference, inscription, and emplacement. The researchers collected 604 pictures of commercial public signs from both places. Observation and interviews were also conducted to obtain the data for a comprehensive place semiotic analysis. In terms of code preference, this study found that Indonesian is dominant in local people-oriented signs, and English is more dominant in tourist-oriented signs. It implies that the commercial ideology of the signs put aside the language policy factors. Surprisingly, Balinese, as the local language, is not found on the signs, but Arabic emblemed with Islam religion, exists on the signs as the combination of business and religious identity. The inscription analysis shows that Roman script is the most dominant orthographic system, followed by Balinese and Arabic. In this case, the touch of local language policy supports the existence of Balinese script on the signs for transliteration only. Then, the emplacement analysis reveals that situated semiotics is the most frequent element due to the business location indexation. Decontextualization and transgressive elements were less frequently found since decontextualized signs are related to well-established brands, and transgressive signs are related to typical improperly placed commercial signs. The commercial signs do not align with the national and local language policy but emphasize profit orientation.

“…Using PjBL to incorporate LL in the process of teaching and learning is very beneficial because it involves students in solving real-world problem and addressing current issues and questions through extended projects that integrate multiple subjects and skills. In designing and producing LL through PjBL, students work in groups to plan, discuss, and produce a project from which they can also exercise character values, and other skills reflected on their learning throughout the process (Mulyawan et al, 2022;Paramarta, 2022;Yanmei & Xiaodan, 2019). This type of learning environment supports the constructivist view of knowledge as something that is constructed through active engagement and exploration, rather than simply being transmitted from teacher to student.…”

Project-based learning (PjBL) has been widely implemented in language learning. However, no research has been conducted on its use with linguistic landscape (LL) as a pedagogical tool in primary schools. This study was therefore conducted to look into the use of PjBL with LL for language practices and values in primary school. The purpose is to analyse the kinds of PjBL incorporating LL conducted, the teaching procedures implemented, the competencies and values promoted, and teachers’ opinions about its use for primary school. The study used a mixed-methods design that relied heavily on qualitative description and was supplemented with quantitative analysis. The study was conducted at a primary school, which was selected using the purposive sampling technique. Six teachers, six experts and students of grades 4, 5, and 6 teachers were involved. The amount of 520 LL was collected during the year 2022 using direct observation, questionnaire, interviews, and document study analysis. The data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results show that PjBL of various kinds (PLS projects, legacy students’ projects, event-based and annual projects) has been incorporated into LL for language instruction. The teacher needs to prepare, introduce the concept of LL, allow students to observe and analyze the tasks, have discussions, design and creation, presentation and display, and reflection as the teaching procedure. Multifaceted competence and values are promoted. The teachers and experts have positive opinions about it. The study implied that PjBL with LL is very beneficial for language practices and character values.

“…The use of language in public areas is often connected to aspects of multilingualism. Studies on multilingualism aspects of Indonesian LL studies conducted by Pidada, 2021, Mulyawan et al (2022, and Benu et al (2023) display multilingualism as an important aspect despite the national language policy advocating the use of Bahasa Indonesia as the national language. In the case of Benu et al's (2023) study, the multilingualism is practiced to promote mutual understanding in the multi-ethnic city and avoid hurting other ethnic groups.…”

Linguistic Landscape (LL) research has explored signage in various public places in the world, including Indonesia. However, since there has been no comprehensive review of LL studies in Indonesia, the current article seeks to identify trends in LL research in Indonesia. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method was applied to analyze thirty-one LL articles coming out from the open knowledge maps application. The findings suggest that there is a steady increase in the number of LL studies in Indonesia apparent starting from the year of 2017 based on the obtained data from eleven provinces. More bottom-up signs were found mostly using quantitative approaches. The findings also reveal that the Indonesian language dominates signs in the LL studies followed by English. Interestingly, although Indonesia has the biggest number of Muslim citizens in the world, Arabic is used more often than English only in two locations of LL studies, namely the tomb of Sunan Ampel and the City of Mataram. Issues often discussed in the LL studies are multilingualism, micro-analysis of linguistics, and broader issues, namely powerandsolidarity, identity, and ideology. Future researchers may focus more on qualitative analysis of LL studies, and relates LL studies with promising topics on geo-linguistics, management of halal food, ecology and culture, inequality and economic mobility, health issues, minority language, media in ELT, and online/virtual LL as well as language contestation related to the abovementioned issues.
