The Javanese language is becoming endangered, although it is one of compulsory subjects at schools. Students become unmotivated when they learn the language at school because of boring and irrelevant teaching and learning materials. Furthermore, their closest mentors such as teachers, parents and relatives can not provide motivating conditions to learn the Javanese language. In order to preserve the Javanese language through education at schools, Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) is proposed for Javanese language learning. The student can learn the usage of Javanese language at a proper level of politeness through a natural dialog with Artificial Javanese Intelligent Tutor (AJI-Tutor).
INTRODUCTION
Javanese language - one of 672 traditional languages in Indonesia is a native language of more than 75 million people [1]. However, most of its native speakers can not use the language in a proper manner. Recent research on Javanese language proficiency of students found that the Javanese youngsters can not apply correct Krama vocabularies in formal dialog based on context since the language is rarely use at home and in social organizations [2]. Therefore, the Javanese language should be used in daily activities to protect the language from becoming an endangered language.
Language preservation can be viewed from various perspectives, one of them is education. Regional languages, including Javanese language, have been established compulsory in the school curricula. However, Javanese language learning today is deplorable. Students tend to prefer to learn Bahasa Indonesia and English rather than the Javanese since those languages are more relevant in the era of globalisation.

Firstly the essay will explain what language death is and the meaning of what is an endangered language. Secondly discuss language death and language birth. Thirdly discuss the causes of language death. Lastly, critically discuss if endangered languages are worth saving.

The ideational structure involves relationships such as topic relations and cohesive relations between ideas andpropositions in the discourse. The action structure refers to the relations between speech acts. The exchangestructure indicates the mechanics of turn-taking between participants. The information state involves the everchangingorganization and management of knowledge and meta-knowledge of participants in interactionthroughout the discourse. Finally, the participation framework refers to the means by which speakers andhearers relate to each other (e.g. the relative stance of participants), as well as to the utterances in thediscourse. DMs with ideational functions index mainly coherence between the ideas conveyed in the discoursesuch as cause–result or temporal sequence. On the other hand, DMs that function at the action, exchange,participation framework and informational state levels are interactional in

The goal of online tutoring is to replicate these same onsite services in a digital environment, especially to students who may not otherwise be able to visit the tutoring center in person Thus, online tutoring will bean extension of the current tutoring services we offer in which students can “walk-in” to receive one-to-one and/or one-to-many tutorial support.
As John Carroll and Ann Bishop state “Most learning takes place in communities.” (2005). This could be informal communities, such as a conversation at a workplace, or it could be a more formal setting such as a distance education course. Regardless of the level of formality, humans learn from one another through communication in some fashion. The issue for educators, then is how best to channel this natural tendency for learning, and how to best utilize technology in the process. Therefore, computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) focuses on employing the benefits of collaborative learning via networked computers (Computer-supported Collaborative Learning, 2007). The end-goal is to make use of the power of technology based on reliable and ubiquitous computing environments to facilitate and support learning in communities (Carroll, et. al., 2005).
Therefore, the overall aims of this paper are to find out how far the Indonesian English (Indolish) expressions are understood by the Indonesian and non-Indonesian people. The detailed investigation covers three main areas: 1). The difference between the Indonesian English variety (Indolish) and the standard English and the causes of the difference; 2) The Indonesian and non-Indonesian students’ level of understanding regarding the expressions written in the Indonesian English variety (Indolish); and 3). The easiest and the most difficult expressions for Indonesian students and non-Indonesian students and the possible causes as well as the role of the contexts. The implication of the purpose is to find out the way to help the society in increasing
In conclusion, language learning has extensive area and to host a lot of methodologies and approaches. These kinds of approaches prove a huge of support to effective teaching and learning. Every approach has deficiency. Especially pre-methods approach like Grammar-translation and silent way methods. The importance issue is teacher aware of difference in these methods. In the past time or modern time are not the same but the teacher should set up to relative between to each other. All of the methods or approaches should be known but the most proper method/approaches should be chosen for cultivating effective language learners.
In most institutions of learning today, the classes are made up of students from different ethnic backgrounds. These have different traditions and also speak different languages. In a typical classroom, the majority of the students will speak the same language. The teacher must then employ strategies which will accommodate all the students in the class. This will ensure that every learner gets the best quality of education. This will enable them to be better prepared for career and expressing themselves. In this paper, strategies to assist learners of the English language in their literal development for third grade learners. In the paper, three strategies that can be used by the teacher will be discussed. New strategies and research that will help the English language learners to gain in depth mastery of the language will also be discussed. Due to the widespread learning of the English language in most schools, addressing issues of the language learners is of vital importance. Teachers should have the understanding that cultures are what give someone identity and therefore no student should leave their culture for another. Instead, there should be the blending of different cultures so that students can appreciate and learn from each other.
