Abstract

International mobility is a distinctive feature of the world of the 21st century. Individuals and their families are often moving due to business, job assignments, pursue further education etc. The children brought up in this mobility scenario are known as Third Culture Kids (TCKs). They are often exposed to different languages and cultures, what gives them unique abilities, but also brings numerous challenges. The objective of this article was to have a better understanding of TCKs living in Indonesia and what their journey of language acquisition in the country looked like. To answer these questions we collected data from 2 TCKs living in Indonesia, through interviews and artefacts using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the TCKs living in Indonesia are traditional TCKs according to Pollock & Recken’s framework of TCKs. Regarding to their journey of language acquisition the parents played an important role choosing schools and implementing a family language policies at home in order to teach them their first language, hence, parents language. However the TCKs chose to use English, as their first language due to the third culture environment they were surrounded with.

Abstract

This qualitative case study explores how South Sumatran English educators integrate local wisdom into language teaching through ethnopedagogical approaches. Conducted at secondary and tertiary institutions across South Sumatra, the research employed semi-structured interviews with five purposively selected educators, complemented by document analysis of syllabi and teaching materials. Participants ranged from early-career to highly experienced teachers, with teaching experience spanning 3 to 31 years across junior high schools, vocational high schools, universities, and language courses. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke's framework, revealing four primary themes: perceived relevance and benefits, integration strategies, perceived impacts on learning, and implementation challenges. Findings demonstrate that educators strategically incorporate cultural elements, including Pempek cuisine, Songket textiles, Pulau Kemaro legends, and traditional games like Congklak to simultaneously enhance language acquisition and preserve regional heritage. However, implementation faces significant obstacles: inadequate institutional support, limited culturally-relevant resources, insufficient professional development opportunities, and absence of formal assessment frameworks for cultural integration. Despite these challenges, educators exhibit remarkable agency in developing authentic materials and designing culturally-responsive activities that foster students' linguistic competence alongside cultural identity formation. The study contributes theoretically by demonstrating how ethnopedagogy operationalizes culturally-responsive teaching in Indonesian higher education contexts, bridging Ladson-Billings' framework with Ausubelian meaningful learning principles. Practically, findings underscore urgent needs for systematic resource development, targeted faculty training programs, and institutional policy reforms supporting sustainable ethnopedagogical practice.
