REVITALISASI BAHASA LAMPUNG MELALUI PENDIDIKAN DAN KEBUDAYAAN

Abstract

Objective: This study discusses the role of formal and non-formal education in revitalizing the Lampung language as part of preserving regional cultural identity. The background arises from the declining use of the Lampung language due to globalization, urbanization, and the dominance of Indonesian and foreign languages. This study aims to describe the contributions of both educational pathways, identify challenges, and formulate revitalization strategies through education and culture. The findings indicate that formal education contributes through local content policies, teacher training, and communicative curriculum-based learning. Meanwhile, non-formal education supports preservation through community activities, digital media, and creative works that enhance public awareness. The main challenges include the decline of native speakers, low interest among younger generations, limited teaching staff, and weak policy support. Recommended strategies include strengthening communicative learning, utilizing digital technology, and expanding the use of the Lampung language in public spaces. Collaboration between education and culture is essential to sustain its existence amid globalization.
