The phenomena of the use of the diglossia language in the learning interaction of Indonesian language: A case study of a junior high school in Cilegon City

Abstract

This study was conducted to explain the phenomenon of the use of diglossia language which still often occurs in the learning environment. Thus, in order to provide a solution to these symptoms, it is necessary to first explain the phenomena that occur or are behind them. The phenomenon in the use of diglossia language occurs because of the process of cultural mixing in the use of language and the dualistic attitude shown by Indonesian language teachers, especially Indonesian language teachers at the Junior High School of Cilegon City. Based on the research that has been done, it was found that teachers have been stuck between following the rules of language or getting closer to students by ignoring the rules of language. It is known that today's students are very thick in the use of language that is influenced by the media, what they see on television, or social media. So that this phenomenon goes unnoticed by teachers and students in the learning process. The results of the study were found by using a phenomenological approach that focuses on the object of study on the situation or phenomenon behind it.
