ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF INDONESIAN LANGUAGE LEARNING CULTURE IN THE ERA OF TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION: STUDIES AT THE ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL OF AS’ADIYAH

Abstract

This study aims to explore the culture of learning Indonesian language in the era of technological transformation by taking the setting of Islamic Boarding School of As’adiyah. Through an ethnographic approach, this study seeks to gain an in-depth understanding of how technology influences the practices, values, and norms of Indonesian language learning within the cultural context of Islamic Boarding School (Islamic boarding schools). Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies over a six-month period. The findings reveal a shift in the culture of learning Indonesian language from a traditional to a more modern approach by adopting technology. However, the integration of technology also poses challenges in maintaining the values of Islamic Boarding School. This research provides valuable insights into the dynamics of the Indonesian language learning culture in Islamic Boarding School environments undergoing technological transformation, as well as its implications for developing learning strategies that align with local culture and global demands.
