Abstract
The linguistic landscape in multicultural areas represents the language choice of a group of people in society. Despite a number of research has been focused on public signage in multicultural areas, the functions of public signs in multicultural areas inside the educational field have not been adequately studied. The present paper aims to find out about multilingualism in the area of education and identify the functions of the signages apparent in the area. The data of the study are 225 public signs in a Faculty of Cultural Studies located in a reputable university in Malang. In addition, the faculty also offers other study programs related to education and culture. Therefore, it is a location worthy of research. Data was collected by capturing photos of public signs in the faculty. The findings of the current research show language choices in the monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual public signs and the functions of the texts and symbols in the signs.
