The February 2025 issue of Jurnal Tahuri features five research articles authored entirely by Indonesian scholars, presenting fresh perspectives on the intersection of language, culture, and education in contemporary Indonesia. Each study offers an in-depth look at how linguistic and cultural practices shape pedagogy, identity, and literacy in diverse educational settings. The articles in this issue highlight a rich variety of themes. One explores humor and critical literacy through the lens of stand-up comedy in Indonesian language education, while another examines code-switching and critical pedagogy within Islamic boarding school classrooms, revealing how language use intersects with religious identity. Further contributions discuss teaching local wisdom through oral literature, focusing on teachers’ beliefs and practices surrounding petatah-petitih in Minangkabau culture; multilingual challenges in a Sundanese classroom, which reflect the negotiation between national language policy and local realities; and the integration of local folklore, using the Danau Toba narrative as a medium for enhancing cultural understanding in language education. Together, these studies underscore Jurnal Tahuri’s ongoing commitment to promoting culturally grounded and contextually responsive scholarship that bridges linguistic, educational, and cultural inquiry within Indonesia’s diverse multilingual landscape.
