This study aims to develop a valid and reliable tool for measuring critical awareness of the Javanese language. The test item developed refers to relevant literature studies and is also based on existing awareness measuring tools. The test items are re-examined by Javanese linguists and Javanese language education experts to produce a measuring scale. The scale of critical awareness of the Javanese language consists of phonological awareness, morphological awareness, syntactic awareness, semantic awareness, and Javanese cultural awareness. The scale is designed with a Likert scale type and is applied to 69 students. The result shows that the developed scale is a valid and reliable way to measure critical awareness of the Javanese language. The success of learning the Javanese language depends on how well prospective teachers have critical awareness of the language. © 2022 The Author(s).
