Abstract

As a multilingual country, Indonesia has three kinds of languages: local/regional, national/official, and foreign languages. Surabaya, like other cities in Indonesia, also recognizes these kinds of language which Javanese as the regional language, Indonesian as the national language, and English as the foreign language. One of the places in Surabaya where these languages exist is Universitas Airlangga. Seeing that there are different languages coexist, in this study the writer aims to investigate the language attitude of English Department’s first year students of Universitas Airlangga toward Javanese, Indonesian, and English because they are dominant languages used in their circumstances. In addition, they also hold their new identity as the English Department freshmen in university where English starts to be highly exposed. This study is also intended to explore the motivational reasons behind the language attitudes they have toward those languages using Baker’s Motivation Theory (1992). This theory is used since it contains two different motivations that mainly compose language attitude in any natures of language attitude. Applying quantitative approach, the writer collected the data from 67 respondents by distributing questionnaires. Furthermore, some further interviews were done in order to get deeper explanation based on the respondents’ answers in the questionnaires. Results showed that English Department’s first year students of Universitas Airlangga have positive attitude toward Javanese because of more integrative motivation than instrumental motivation. Meanwhile, the language attitudes toward Indonesian and English languages appear to be positive with regard to both instrumental and integrative motivation.
