Language attitude towards English and Javanese by young people in Surabaya
ABSTRACT Attitude to language is a construct that explains linguistic behavior in particular. It may be positive or negative as well as instrumental or integrative. It varies from favorably to unfavorably or vice-versa in language learning and acquisition, choice and use of language in different domains and hence, it is necessary in the question of survival and development of a particular language and in the chances of success in language policy implementation. The study aims to find out the young people’s attitude towards English and Javanese and their reasons to have such attitude. The study belongs to descriptive qualitative research. The data are collected by questionnaires, interviews, and observation. According to Lambert, attitudes consist of three components: the cognitive, affective and conative components. The theory is supported by Gardner who considered attitudes as components of motivation in language learning. According to him, “motivation ... refers to the combination of effort plus desire to achieve the goal of learning the language plus favorable attitudes toward learning the language”. The research shows that the respondents use Javanese because it is a tradition that is needed in social intercourse in a particular society and use English as the foreign language in their daily conversation. Regarding to the respondent’s attitudes, the findings suggest that people have positive attitude towards English and Javanese. This is attributed to the fact that respondents are instrumentally motivated to learn towards both languages. Keywords: atittude, components, motivation
