Abstract
Public space is a picture of language use that is easy to observe. Public space becomes an uncontrollable language space if it is not well regulated. In Indonesia, public space has become a shared space that shows language contestation. This research seeks to describe the language of the government's public space as well as efforts to foster the language of the public space. This research is a descriptive qualitative study with a model of public space coaching issued by the Language Development and Guidance Agency, Indonesian Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology. This research uses the framework of observation, education, and appreciation coaching. The results of this study describe four categories of public space language that exist in government institutions, namely the use of Arabic, the use of English, the use of mixed languages, and the use of Indonesian. After coaching, the use of foreign languages and mixed languages that are not in accordance with Indonesian language rules is reduced. This result can show the existence of the Indonesian language and a sense of pride in the Indonesian language. The coaching model is very effective to be the basis for fostering the prioritization of national languages in government institutions.
