The February 2023 edition of Jurnal Tahuri presents five scholarly articles that examine literacy, language, and pedagogy within Indonesia’s diverse sociocultural contexts. Written by Indonesian researchers, this issue explores how literacy practices and multilingual realities intersect in classrooms and communities across the archipelago. One article analyzes how home and school literacies interact to support early learning in rural settings, while another investigates the role of local culture-based literacy instruction in enhancing students’ critical reading skills in Eastern Indonesia. A third contribution focuses on cognitive and sociolinguistic strategies for improving reading comprehension in EFL classrooms. The issue also includes a study of language ideologies and policy implications in post-decentralization Indonesia, and a final paper that reimagines classroom literacy through translanguaging pedagogies in multilingual contexts. Through these studies, Jurnal Tahuri continues to highlight the evolving dynamics of language and literacy education in Indonesia, emphasizing culturally grounded, inclusive, and context-sensitive approaches to teaching and learning.
