Indonesian Educational Language Reversal: Nationalism vis-\u00e0-vis Globalisation<\/b><\/p>\n

Abstract<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Indonesia, a country characterised by linguistic diversity and complexity, has more than 700 vernacular languages and a national language, Bahasa Indonesia. \u00a0In this country, educational language policy and planning has never been a simple issue. The desire to both base the public education system on the national language but also to protect the vernacular languages, most of which have been endangered, makes for a complicated language policy and planning agenda. Against the background of the complexity, in 2006, Indonesian government introduced a new stream of public schools, the so-called International Standard Schools (ISS), in which the core subjects were to be taught in a foreign language, predominantly English. This provision was mainly aimed to prepare Indonesian young people to be more involved in the international community, for which English proficiency plays an essential role. However, for many, this use of English in the schools was considered excessive, as something which might endanger Indonesian young people\u2019s sense of national identity and their commitment toward the national language. Using such arguments, they challenged the new policy and proposed that the ISS schools should revert to the use of the national language, Bahasa Indonesia, as the medium of instruction. After a long battle, in late 2012, the constitutional court approved their proposal. This language policy reversal phenomenon may exemplify the conflict between the intention to keep up with the globalisation and to protect a nation\u2019s linguistic heritage. This paper reports on Indonesian teachers\u2019 and educational experts\u2019 experiences of and opinions about the issues, which were sought through the analysis of their stories in the verdict governing the reversal and those generated through narrative interviews. The findings may be useful as the basis for future language planning in Indonesia and other contexts sharing similar feature of linguistic diversity and complexity.<\/p>\n
