The study of the implications of education on societal change is important in social and educational contexts. This study was conducted in that context; it aims to describe how the implications of citizens ' education on their language. Data were collected in Riam Panjang Village, Kapuas Hulu. The place is more in the upper reaches of the Kapuas River, about 400 km from Pontianak, the capital of West Kalimantan province. Data were collected through interviews and observation. Data analysis was conducted with the approach of Cresweell (2015). In conclusion, the rapidly growing education in Riam Panjang has transformed monolingual societies into multilingual ones in the last 30 years. The community of speakers who initially spoke one language (monolingual), namely Malay Ulu Kapuas, became a bilingual community that spoke other Malay languages (Indonesian, Pontianak language), as well as several other languages. Changes are contributed by the need for interaction of society with the outside world, as a result of development and globalization. The implication of this study is the need for specific policies of decision makers about regional language retention. If there is no specific policy, it is feared that regional languages will become extinct, and that means part of the wealth of communal knowledge will also be extinct.

“…Even though formal colonization has long been non-existent, the aftereffects of colonization are still persistent in multiple aspects within many communities including language education. As claimed by Vaish (2010), there is an enormous influence of postcolonial theory on applied linguistics, resulting in an ambiguity in the difference between colonialism and globalization. There is a growing demand for conceptualizing multiple language acquisition in contrast to the traditional L1, L2, and L3 models to suit modern multilingual contexts (Otwinowska & Angelis, 2014).…”

Despite the abundance of studies investigating translanguaging pedagogy, recontextualizing learning material has rarely been a concern of recent studies. The present study employs content analysis and critical discourse analysis to examine two global CFL textbooks used in Sri Lanka to evaluate their compliance with translanguaging practices. Three imperative aspects of translanguaging pedagogy, namely representation of culture, instruction language, and nationalism and socio-cultural polarization were the key areas of concern in content analysis. In the culture domain analysis, references from the textbooks were fed into 10 child codes and 3 parental codes in NVivo12. The results demonstrated that there is a critical inequity in the representation of local and global cultures in the textbooks which is especially distinct in the interlocutors and their nationality options. Socio-cultural polarization of the source culture with the West was evident in the critical discourse analysis and adaptation was predominantly promoted as a unilateral affair where the foreign learner continually adapts to the target culture. The study proposes that contextual sensitivity and ideological impartiality should be ensured in recontextualizing textbooks for translanguaging practices in Sri Lanka from three aspects, namely incorporation of L1 into textbooks, integration of multiculturalism and freeing textbooks of ideological and hegemonic practices.

“…The growth of communication and technology makes distance no longer an obstacle for getting various information from the world, making it necessary for people to know a language other than the local and national languages. Furthermore, with China's position on the world stage, the Chinese language is among the fastest growing International Languages (Seng & Lai, 2010). The importance of the Chinese now a day is getting stronger and keeps growing.…”

Learning a foreign language has become essential, and the Chinese language, among all international languages, is growing so fast regarding the Chinese government's active promotion. Learning and teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language in Indonesia has been practiced for a relatively long time, but the CFL learner still shows a result that is not in line with expectations. This study investigates student motivational orientation and student learning strategy use among CFL University Students in Indonesia. Random sampling CFL university students (n=160) to join the study, the MSLQ was employed to measure CFL students' motivational and learning strategies. The data were analyzed with Descriptive Statistics, Pearson Correlation, and Compare Means. The finding indicates that CFL University students' motivational orientation is at a medium level (M=3.00). With Expectancy (M=3.83, SD=.515), Value (M=3.72, SD=.522), and affective (M=3.27, SD=.579), with a motivational and learning strategy on CFL University students have a strong positive correlation and students with different motivational orientation adapt to different learning strategy. The implication of this study will give significance to the sustainability of CFL teaching and CFL learning.
