“…LL research is very rare in Indonesia, especially those concentrating on the education domain in Malang City. LL research in the education domain has been examined by (Hanauer, 2010;Lotherington, 2013;Siricharoen, 2016), and Andriyanti (2019).…”

The presence or absence of a language in public space represents the strength or weakness of social group along with their ideology. School is the basis on which ideology is constructed through education. The use of language in school nameplate plays a role in the construction of ideology which leaves big problems, namely the occurrence of attraction between school branding, the social existence of both ethnic and religious, and language regulations that are obeyed and violated. Linguistic Landscape is a study to investigate the social relations in a particular area, especially an urban area, through texts in the public space. The focus of this study on public and private high schools in Malang City by considering high multiethnic degrees with the complexity of social problems and interests that have an impact on the use of varied languages both Top-Down and Bottom-Up. This study aims to investigate the use of language (monolingual and bilingual) on the favorite and non-favorite high school names and functions used (information functions and symbolic functions). The survey was conducted on 12 public high schools and 43 private high schools with documentation (photograph) techniques. The results showed that favorite public high schools tend to use Indonesian bilingual (BI) and English (BE) by 50%, and non-favorite high schools tend to use Indonesian monolinguals (50%). Bilingual (BI + BE) represents nationalism, modern, global, and exclusive (smart and rich), while monolingual (BI) represents nationalism. The results showed that the nameplate of favorite private high schools used monolingual BI (30,23%), BE (6.98%), while bilingual (BI + BE and BE + BJp) were found at 2.33% respectively and non-favorite private high school used monolingual BI (58,14%) and no monolingual BE and bilingual. This shows that both favorite and non-favorite private high schools tend to use Indonesian, especially the use of dominant religious terms, namely Catholic and Christian high schools rather than Islamic high school by favorite school. This indicates that the Christian and Catholic ideology was very strong constructed through education where the school was chosen by many Chinese. The ideology of nationalism, modernism, religion, and capitalism arises in education where it competes with each other and also in building strength through education, depending on the interests and power played in public space by text.

“…In reality, several unofficial LL signage have been spotted in multilingual communities. According to Siricharoen (2016), the divide among official and unofficial symbols obscures the intricacy of creating LL. As a result of social activity, LL provides greater chance to researchers to examine a complex relationship between language, place, and ethnographic depiction in metropolitan multilingualism.…”

Studies in linguistic landscape (LL) have been emerged as one of the growing topics in the societal multilingualism. Linguistic landscape transpires as a significant element to study linguistic contacts in multilingual settings. Despite the fact that Australia has been acknowledged as one of the multilingual hotspots, a study in linguistic landscape received scant attention among scholars. In enhancing a broad appreciation of the linguistic diversity at the multilingual society like Australia, thus, the centrality of this article is to report significant component of rich linguistic scenes at Springvale-Greater Dandenong, Victoria. The sources of data were derived from visual data, and further will be intertwined with the consensus data. Taken together, the twofold data presented in this article have revealed that the LL studies emerge as an important element to contribute to the richness of multi-ethnic representation in multilingual societies. The result showed that English translation is mostly found in the terrestrial signage, this appearance denotes the significance of English language as an official signage or a lingua franca for the community rather than a bilingual outward appearance. Despite English language has been identified as the dominant language representation though the signage, there are a buoyance of minority languages representation in the city of Springvale�s LL.

“…Institutional contexts, such as educational settings with a certain unique context, have drawn more LL researchers' attention to their linguistic landscape. For example, Gorter and Cenoz (2015) categorized sign functions in multilingual schools in Spain, while other researchers (e.g., Choi et al, 2019;Hynes, 2012;Jing-Jing, 2015;Siricharoen, 2016;Yavari, 2012) focused on higher education institutions. Landry and Bourhis (1997) are pioneers in introducing linguistic landscapes as a field of study.…”

This study examines the display of languages on signs and how this has shaped student experiences of the linguistic landscape on campus. The research site is a Thai University that has conducted English medium of instruction (EMI). As a result of its English policy, the university has attracted students with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Two main questions are ‘What is the representation of languages on signs on campus?’ and ‘How have Thai and international students’ experiences been shaped by the linguistic landscape? Photos of linguistic tokens and semi-structured interviews were taken to gain insight into student experiences and perspectives. The analysis of 815 linguistic tokens revealed monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual signs. While Thai was the dominant language, English was indicated as a lingua franca on campus. The displays of different languages showed the diversity of university members. However, an adverse effect on international students was expressed when their language was solely displayed on signs. Although international students expressed opposition when their language was used in negative signs, bilingual and multilingual signs were generally well received by university members.
