Abstract

This study investigates the collaborative learning experiences between Malagasy Darmasiswa scholars and English Education students at Universitas Kristen Indonesia Toraja (UKI Toraja). The Darmasiswa program, initiated by the Indonesian government, facilitates cross-cultural academic exchange by offering scholarships to international students, including those from Madagascar. The research focuses on how these intercultural collaborations impact participants' language acquisition, communication skills, and educational development. Using qualitative methods, including semi-structured interviews and participant observation, data were collected from both Malagasy and Indonesian students engaged in joint learning activities. These activities encompassed intercultural workshops, language exchanges, and collaborative projects centered on cultural comparison and language practice. Preliminary findings indicate that collaborative learning fosters improved intercultural communication skills, increased language fluency, and greater cultural empathy. Both groups reported enhanced confidence in cross-cultural settings and a deeper understanding of each other’s cultural perspectives. The learning environment was described as more inclusive and mutually supportive. The findings underscore the educational value of structured intercultural collaboration. Participants not only developed stronger language and communication skills but also demonstrated increased cultural awareness and engagement. These outcomes suggest that such initiatives significantly contribute to the holistic academic growth of both international and local students. The study recommends enhancing collaborative learning by integrating structured intercultural components, expanding joint activities, and promoting ongoing peer engagement. These improvements could deepen intercultural understanding and further enrich the educational experience for all participants.

Abstract

Cultural immersion programs are increasingly recognized for their role in fostering cross-cultural exchange, deepening cultural understanding, and promoting mutual learning. This study investigates the impact of a Toraja Cultural Immersion program, held in Bali from 6–21 July 2024, involving students from the University of Western Australia (UWA) and the English Education Study Program at UKI Toraja. A qualitative research design was adopted to evaluate the program's outcomes for participants and the host community. Twenty-one UWA students and seven UKI Toraja members were selected through purposive sampling to ensure diverse perspectives. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews and participant observation during activities such as teaching, cultural rituals, and community service. Thematic analysis was applied to transcribed data to identify recurring themes. The findings reveal that the program significantly enhanced participants' cultural awareness and intercultural competence. UWA students gained deeper insights into Toraja culture and demonstrated improved adaptability and understanding of cultural nuances. Meanwhile, members of UKI Toraja observed increased enthusiasm for English language learning and cultural preservation efforts within their community. The program successfully bridged cultural gaps, fostering mutual learning and providing educational benefits for both groups. The involvement of local facilitators from UKI Toraja was pivotal in contextualizing cultural experiences and guiding participants. This study underscores the value of cultural immersion programs in promoting intercultural competence and educational exchange. Future research should explore the long-term effects of such programs on participants' personal and professional development.
