Abstract

Language learning in Indonesia's educational environment is accelerating change due to the introduction of novel technologies and teaching methods. This paper analyzed the essential functions of digital tools, the internet, and contemporary educational approaches to enhancing Indonesian language learning results. When considering the challenges of low penetration in remote areas and fluctuating technological maturity, opportunities exist to explore the potential of technology to bridge the language acquisition gap. Drawing on a review of several projects (i.e., mobile applications, e-learning platforms, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven language support), the current study outlines their success in fostering multilingualism, enhancing engagement rates, and developing mother tongue and second language skills. The outcome suggests that education through language for Indonesian learners will be successful if there is a balance between traditional teaching advantages, such as face-to-face teaching, and modern technology's power and freedom. Policies, pedagogical, and institutional ideas are proposed to build a sustainable, inclusive, and dynamic model for a language education framework based on the sake of its citizenry. © 2024 Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.
