This mixed-methods study explores the challenges and strategies in teaching Indonesian to Indonesian occupied students in Malaysia. Through a survey of 200 students and interviews with 20 educators and experts, the research identifies key obstacles, including lack of immersive language environments, limited access to appropriate learning materials, and cultural differences impacting language learning. Effective strategies employed include language clubs, cultural events, customized learning materials, professional development for teachers, and the integration of technology. Despite these efforts, ongoing challenges persist, necessitating continued research, collaboration, and institutional support. The study contributes to the discourse on effective language education for diaspora communities, highlighting the need for a multifaceted approach that addresses linguistic, cultural, social, and technological factors.
