Abstract

This study holds significant urgency in the context of language learning development and the enhancement of students’ communication skills, aiming to prepare high-quality and competitive human resources for the workforce—particularly in the tourism sector. Additionally, the study serves as a preventive effort to ensure that younger generations are still informed about, take pride in, and can preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of Toraja. In this regard, the implementation of the trilingual method in the English for Tourism course is expected to help both lecturers and students in the English Language Education Study Program at Universitas Kristen Indonesia (UKI) Toraja. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the implementation of the trilingual method in the English for Tourism course. This research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive qualitative design. The findings show that the trilingual method is implemented through five main activities: the integration of Toraja local culture into the learning materials, simulation-based learning, fieldwork projects, translation of cultural texts, and the production of trilingual tourism promotional video.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of local culture-based learning media, specifically grounded in Toraja culture, within multilingual English classrooms at Universitas Kristen Indonesia Toraja. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, document analysis, and in-depth interviews with English lecturers who actively integrate Torajan cultural elements—such as traditional narratives, rituals, and symbolism—into English language instruction. The findings reveal that such integration fosters culturally responsive instructional strategies, enhances student engagement, supports linguistic and intercultural competence, and affirms learners’ cultural identities. Lesson materials and teaching practices proved a successful bridging of content knowledge and cultural relevance, making English learning more accessible and meaningful. While the approach yielded clear pedagogical benefits, it also highlighted challenges including limited access to culturally adapted materials and the need for institutional support. The study concludes that with proper structural backing, the integration of local cultural media has transformative potential for inclusive, identity-affirming language education in multilingual contexts.

Abstract

The use of code-mixing in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction has become a common strategy employed by lecturers to bridge linguistic gaps between educators and students. In the Indonesian context, where English is not the primary language, this strategy is considered essential in helping students grasp complex learning materials. This study aims to identify the types of code-mixing used by EFL lecturers and analyze their impact on students’ learning behavior, cognitive abilities, and emotional responses in the classroom. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Purposive sampling was used to select lecturer participants, while snowball sampling was applied to recruit student participants. The study was conducted at Campus 1 of the Christian University of Indonesia Toraja. Data were collected through classroom observations and in-depth interviews with both lecturers and students. The findings reveal that four types of code-mixing were employed by lecturers: insertion, alternation, congruent lexicalization, and shifts in pronunciation. Overall, the use of code-mixing had positive effects, such as enhancing students’ comprehension of the material, increasing their learning motivation, and creating a more inclusive and comfortable classroom atmosphere. However, the study also identified a potential drawback, students’ growing dependence on lecturers for understanding English, which may hinder their ability to learn independently. These findings highlight the importance of implementing a balanced teaching strategy to ensure that code-mixing serves as an effective instructional aid without diminishing students’ opportunities to develop their language skills autonomously. This research is expected to contribute to the development of more reflective and contextually relevant English teaching practices in higher education.

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.
