Qualitative Study: Teaching Indonesian as the National Language to Students in the All-digital Era: Challenges and Solutions

Abstract

This qualitative study examines the difficulties and solutions of teaching Indonesian as the national language to students in a world dominated by technology. The research examines how Indonesian language teachers and students deal with the difficulties of teaching and learning the language online. Interviews with Indonesian language teachers and students, class observations, and document analysis of language textbooks and digital resources contributed to data collection. According to the findings, language proficiency, digital literacy, motivation, cultural diversity, and authenticity are among the challenges of teaching Indonesian as the national language in an era dominated by technology. The review proposes a few answers for these difficulties, including computerized media, intuitive and cooperative learning exercises, language variety and pragmatics, and social mindfulness. The study concludes that addressing these obstacles can enable students to communicate effectively in the digital age and increase the effectiveness of teaching Indonesian as the national language in an all-digital world.
