Abstract


English is a language that is still relatively low in mastery at school, so students take advantage of English subjects to improve their English language skills. The existence of a mother tongue background in the form of Javanese and Indonesian poses a challenge for students who are not accustomed to studying in English. In terms of expression, communicating through spontaneous body movements and others also gives rise to the meaning of communication that must be understood. The data from this study was taken from a junior high school in Indonesia and focuses on where students who mostly use Javanese-Indonesian are taught through the medium of English which is part of translanguage and trans-semiotizing contexts with their movement expressions to convey a second language. Pre-service teachers applied a flexible language policy that allows the use of three languages in class and the expression of body movements. The purpose of this research is to analyze how the pre-service teachers belief of translanguaging (using the mother tongue to learn a second language) and trans-semiotizing (expression of communication with pictures, movement, video, audio, text) This research is a type of qualitative research, using interview instruments and classroom observation. The results of the study showed the pre-service teachers belief that translanguaging and trans-semiotizing could help students to master English.
