Abstract

This study investigates Indonesian-speaking students’ attittudes towards Standard Indonesian Colloquial Jakarta Indonesian, regional language, and foreign language. Participants in this study are students of secondary- and high schools (N=745) who live in Tangerang City and South Tangerang, neighboring areas of Jakarta, where the inhabitants are mainly multilinguals. Data of this study were collected from questionnaires, distributed at schools. We investigated their pride of the observed languages, the importance of the languages, and their intention to improve the languages. Findings in this study suggest that the attitude towards these languages has a relation with the social functions which mainly governed by language policy in educational setting.
