ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to examine the utilisation of Linguistic Landscape (LL) as a means of exposing international students to Bahasa Indonesia in the context of a Bahasa Indonesia course. In addition, this study also investigated the international students' perspective on utilising LL as a supplementary educational tool. The study was carried out in a Bahasa Indonesia course specifically designed for international students at a private university in Indonesia. This research featured a total of eight international students and one teacher who were enrolled in the Bahasa Indonesia course. In addition, a mixed-methods strategy was used to collect data, which involved doing classroom observations, administering questionnaires, and conducting interviews.  The research revealed that LL was utilised in several ways in the Bahasa Indonesia course for international students. For instance, LL was employed to provide realistic learning materials in the classroom, and it was also integrated into project-based activities for the students. In addition, with regards to the students' opinion of utilising LL as their learning resources, they typically reported a positive outcome in terms of their perceptions, attitudes, and utilisation of LL. The findings also emphasised the potential benefits of utilising LL in future language education, leading to additional recommendations.
