The February 2024 edition of Jurnal Tahuri features five scholarly articles that reflect current developments in language-related studies and educational practice in Indonesia. Authored by 11 Indonesian researchers, this issue offers both theoretical and empirical insights into the dynamics of language learning, multilingualism, and community engagement in the preservation of local languages. The articles in this issue explore a wide range of interrelated topics, including the interplay between reading strategies and comprehension challenges among EFL learners, code-mixing patterns in the multilingual digital spaces of Ambonese social media users, and policy as well as community-based efforts to safeguard the linguistic heritage of Maluku. Other papers discuss the role of intrinsic motivation in building confidence through the “ASYIK” model for early English learning, and a grammatical error analysis of Indonesian–English translation to trace interlanguage development among junior high school students. Through its diverse perspectives and contexts, this edition reaffirms Jurnal Tahuri’s commitment to advancing critical discussions on language use, learning, and preservation within Indonesia’s multilingual landscape.
