This article discusses how languages are used and presented in the public urban space of Malang. We focus on several areas in the city of Malang including Pasar Besar Malang, Alun-alun Malang, Soekarno Hatta Street, and Veteran Street. These areas were selected to represent the dynamics of the city, covering older areas as well as newly developed areas of the city. In order to complement the pictures of advertisements, directions, business signs, and other types of public texts, we carried out brief surveys involving passers-by. The analysis explores the linguistic repertoire of the people in Malang: Javanese, Indonesian, English, and Arabic. In addition, we also look into the position of the languages in the urban space, particularly of English. Here, we identify the relation between the language of public texts and the place of its occurrence so as to comprehend public readers‘ attitudes and perceptions toward English compared to Javanese, Indonesian and other language(s). Finally, our analysis touches upon the notion of Global English, referring to the spread of English in the urban space of Malang.
