Abstract

Indoglish is a term often used for the use of the English language which is nuanced by Indonesian culture. Indoglish study focuses on environmental education, particularly in higher education that is not only limited to the academic setting but also nonacademic. In other words that this study did not rule out the events that were likely not formal speech that was generally out of context and intent of the educational environment. This was because the events were not formal speech that emerging forms of natural language, which in the context of real linguistic research should be used in preference to describe in college on the island of Java, Madura and Bali in real language situation. The data of this research were a wide range of speeches acquired in an educational environment, especially at universities in Java, Madura and Bali in which there are forms of language linguistically mixed Indonesian and English. Locational data source of this research were the perpetrators of students in environmental education at universities in Java, Madura and Bali. The basic assumption for determining the locational data sources (universities) was the consideration that the students, faculties, and staffs had a varied background of social, economic, cultural so that it was expected to describe the condition of society. The universities that were used as research sites were: (1) UNS, (2) UI, (3) UNDIKSHA, (4) UTM, and (5) ITS. The collections of data used refer to the method that was commonly done in linguistic research. The data analysis was conducted by applying the distributional method that was commonly done in linguistics. The method of analysis was done after the data were collected and properly classified. Furthermore, the interpretation of the data was done.  Then, the interpreted data were presented informally.
